Being a Glutton
March
March was a pretty busy month.
What’s with week and something going on every weekend for me. Good stuff though. 
MrSmallface Granny’s 80th birthday so we had something traditional yet fancy. The Chinese poon choy!
Celebrating the March Babies birthday in Mt Kiara. Was awesome catching with everyone in such a big group!
Finally had the chance to try out Antipodean cafe in Bangsar. Was really good but too crowded.
Wind up the month with a reunion with ex colleagues at a wedding. Not really much of a reunion as I still see the girls on regular, really regular basis. haha. But whatever
What we ate in Siem Reap
Final post of SiemReap. Took me 4 months to complete *so ashame*
As the title dictated, it’s all about the basic food and accommodation in SiemReap!
We stayed at a really nice hotel – Borei Angkor Resort & Spa, thanks to my kind friend Sophal for hooking up a good deal for us 
One of the grandest in SiemReap, infact. If you are travelling with family, or middle age and above, i will strongly recommend this resort. For group of young people (like us ) I will not as it’s not walking distance to the pubstreet, if you know what i mean. hahaha
Big nice cozy room with very a grand clawfoot bath and separate shower. The chambermaid even place my tiny pillow in the middle after tidying up. A cute surprise when we got back.
Variety of the breakfast is good but the same for the 4 days we stayed there. I always have the same stuff every morning.
Tip: Most hotel are willing to pack your breakfast to go if you inform them earlier. Occasions like you need to go somewhere far for tour or out whole day for Angkor Wat visit.
Since the distance of the hotel is not really far, about 15-20mins away, we returned for breakfast after watching sunrise at Angkor Wat. Omelette with cheese. Really good
Most, if not all, the restaurants are researched by G so thanks to her for all the yummy food! So here goes a long list of Fooooood!!
Taipei – Ay-Chung Mee Suah
Bonus photos from our day in Ximending. Probably one of the main reason WHY so many people throng here 
Tomyam Porridge – Raja Uda
Week 32 – I’ve heard of this infamous tomyam porridge place in Raja Uda, Butterworth for the longest time.
So, 1 fine weekend after paying respect to the biggest King of Hades in BM, we went over to check this place out.
It’s already packed with people when we reached around 7pm. No table available and most table are with drinks only.
Waiting.
and patience is what you must have if you intend to take up the “challenge” of this place.
How this place works is that, you take a small plate at the side, choose whatever ingredient that you may fancy and pass it over to the worker and they will tag your plate accordingly.They have beehoon, maggie noodle and porridge with clear soup base or tomyam soup base.
and the wait begins. The first time i was there, i waited for about 1.5 hours to be served.
the 2nd and 3rd time was around 45minutes. So do not expect any fast food there.
If you are too free, you can slowly trace where had your platter advance from time to time
Finally, food!! I had the tomyam maggie noodle as i wasnt a fan of porridge. It’s more towards the sour side
The ever famous tomyam porridge! It’s really yummy no doubt!
Is it worth the wait ? Maybe not. But when you go with a bunch of friends, you can just idle there or chit chat while waiting. I’m sure no problem there.
Be sure to get the awesome fried fish and extra egg to go with your mains.
Close on Tuesday, open from 7pm till way past midnight. No signboard, but it’s along Jalan Raja Uda, just right after Kwang Hwa School.

Taipei City – Day 1
I procrastinate long enough. 1 month to be exact
Seriously considering to abandon the project 52, doom to fail from beginning? haha!
The trip initially cost us RM400 per pax for a return trip from KL – TPE. But the genius me forgot the whole part about PG -KL until 1 week before departure and obviously the “most affordable” airline doesn’t seems so affordable anymore -__-
Adding salt to the pain, I forgot about luggage allowance for PG-KL. Who can remember that part ? I always have only 1 backpack with me for domestic flight so that cost Mrsmallface again at the airport – hehe
Tips: Taiwan Youth Club gives free sim card with credits about TWD100 for foreigners which both me and MrSmallface finds handy. You can also apply for a phone loan with no cost.
From Kimmie’s email –
Also apply for 青年卡 (youth card) from the counter, whoever below 30 years old can apply… u will get a lot of discount when u purchase tics to Taipei 101 / 故宫 and most of the tourist spots… ( some 20% some half price )
My uncle and cousin was so nice to wait for us at Taoyuan Airport for more than an hour as the flight was, yes you guessed it, delayed. Pick us up and zoom off to watch the last session of “changing of guard”
Top right corner photo shows us at Gu Gong which have more China antiques/artifact than China itself. The displays are rotated once every three months, which means 60,000 pieces can be viewed in a year and it would take nearly 12 years to see them all. Talk about collection.
Martyr’s Shrine
Can I strike off China in my to-travel destinations? I feel like I’ve already visited china.
We rented this small room from DayRentKing . It was so difficult to lock down on accommodation because there’s so many nice and creatively designed rooms available to be rent.
We were very happy with this one, as it’s SO Convenient!! Less than 5 mins walk from ZhongXiao Fuxing Station, directly opposite the new Sogo Mall and there’s convenient shop just below. The only downside was, the exterior of the studio was quite dodgy, run-down apartment. However, that doesnt bother us much as we were out of the entire day anyway. It even comes with a washing machine. hmm
Here’s a few others which Kimmie and myself had researched on.

http://www.y3.com.tw/ –> Very nice but over my budget this trip
Nightmarket #1 – Shilin, so damn humid and hot.
Super famous Big Fried Chicken Chop, i love it!
Long Q as with all the yummy snack! As you Q, they will pass you big paperbag and once it’s your turn, they’ll just shove the piping hot chop into the paperbag. So be alert!
Taiwan Sausage – how could one give this a miss when you are in the birth country. YUMS!!!
Loosely translated will be “Frog laying Eggs” , another version of the traditional bubble tea, this is abit like Penang Lohan Kuo nata de coco, so thumbs up from me! Had this equal times as bubble milk tea throughout the trip. The bubble are white in color and more chewy top with snow ice.
Fried Potato Flooded with cheesseeee top with your desired topping. You can find it in a few of the night market.
I believe this will taste 100x better in winter.
My taiwan extended families which I haven’t seen some of them for close to 10 years! Hospitality are superb and appreciate them for spending time with me
