For the love of food, friendship & wanderlust
Supplied image Do you know your nasi lemak from your nasi goreng? Singapore has its own food language, much like the informal lingo of the locals, called Singlish. The hybrid vocabulary reflects the broad range of the country’s immigrants, taking words from Malay, Tamil, Hokkien, Cantonese, Mandarin and other Chinese languages. Be prepared to hear words
If you asked me what I’d be doing at the end of Feb 2017, chances are it would be something blasé like attending all of the food festivities taking place in Dubai. But as lady luck would have it, I had the very exciting opportunity to travel to Singapore on a culinary adventure with the Singapore Toursim Board! Yep.
I got to spend a delightful couple of “summer” days in Wellington, New Zealand. I say “summer” because we didn’t really get the “summer” feels while we were there.

I finally get to write a travel post and it feels ridiculously amazing. I’m not a “take a break from work” kinda person. I love schedules and I don’t take well to time off. But burn-out was at an all time high and I needed the break. And it was a real break; I disabled
If like me, you’ve only skimmed the surface of Italian cuisine, our vocabulary is then mostly limited to pizza, pasta, lasagna, risotto and the like. So what can you eat in Venice that’s different and will make your trip there a memorable one? Sitting in the back of a vaporetto (waterbus), I tilted my face up at an angle in a meek
