Fukuoka, Kyushu [Day 7] - Solo Itinerary to Ohori Park and Fukuoka Tower

[WARNING: VISUAL OVERLOAD AHEAD. ENJOY]

My final day in Fukuoka was a bitter sweet one. It was the only day I got to wander about by myself but it was also my last day in Japan, my last 24 hours in Fukuoka. I headed out early, rolling out of bed at 730am to take a leisurely stroll along the canal to Nakasu.

[Food Review] Sarawak Laksa at Kedey Kamek SS2

There seems to be a boom in Sarawakian cuisine readily available here. Kedey Kamek has been a time long presence here with several outlets in TTDI, Bangi and Kuching. Kedey Kamek is as authentic as they get with a team hailing from East Malaysia, from Kuching and Miri. Its name was in fact Sarawakian for 'my shop'.

[Food Review] Foo Foo Fine Desserts, TTDI


"You want two desserts?" the look on the staff's face was incredulous, triggered by the mere idea that one person could finish two desserts that was meant for sharing. 

"And a flat white." I added before tacking on the request to have both desserts brought out at the same time. For photo-taking purposes. I had faith in my eating capacity even if it meant skipping dinner and going for a super hard workout later.

[Cafe Review] Half and Hafu, the Hub SS2

 I first spotted this cafe on Instagram in October and since it was relatively near me, I made a mental note to check it out. Then it started appearing on a lot of cafe listicles and I decided wokay, time to pay a visit before it becomes too popular.

And that was how I found myself at Half and Hafu in the  Hub SS2. Its design reminded me of some of the bespoke cafes I peeped into when in Japan but never dared venture into and its name - Hafu meant half in Japanese. True to its name, half of the first floor lot was a hair salon and the other half was an aesthetically pleasing orange and brown cafe or rather coffee bar. Located away from the busy row of cafes and eateries that are often crowded with people, Half and Hafu was an oasis of peace and quiet.

[Food Review] Shimmer Shine Cafe, Petaling Jaya

It has been a while since I've done a food review but I am back now with a impromptu dinner visit to the new cafe in PJ New Town. I've driven past Shimmer Shine Café quite a few times and it was hard to miss the gigantic shining signage on the same row as Pizza Hut and Orange Business Hotel.

Building Muscle Strength and Mass with Ensure Gold and Guardian

I did my physical test recently and was told that my BMI was on the overweight side. Excuse me? I have muscles okay! Not many people know this but BMI is not an accurate reading on your weight and health levels. It doesn't factor in muscles which is in fact heavier than fat.

Fukuoka, Kyushu [Day 6] - Nanzoin Buddha and HakuHaku Mentaiko Making Experience

On the hindsight, I should not have returned the car so soon had I known what I know now. First the foremost, Nanzoin temple was quite a distance from Fukuoka in the countryside and was worth a drive out to even though there was a train station nearby. And secondly, the HakuHaku Mentaiko factory/museum was a good 20 minutes walk from the nearest train station and was best reached by car. 

Well, the more you know I suppose.

[Review] Origin Hybrid Pillow: An Investment Worth Sleeping on?

There are a few things in life that are worth putting in the extra dollar and not going cheap on. First and foremost is insurance. Second is the pillow to rest your weary head upon. Apart from a reliable comfortable mattress, your pillow is the most important thing to get the all important beauty sleep. And as someone who is particularly picky with her pillows, I am glad to say I might have found the one after a one week tryout period with Origin Mattress's Origin Superior Coolmax®  Latex Pillow. 

I prefer my pillow to be a bit solid and not cloud-like soft. Neck support is important for me as I have a habit of sleeping on my side. I also like to prop my head up a bit otherwise I would get muscle aches and a headache to match. Thankfully, Origin Superior Coolmax® Latex Pillow met all of my criterias. When I used the pillow, I rarely had to do adjust the pillow or my sleeping position. Whether I am sleeping face up, on my side or even just propping my upper body up to do work on my bed, the pillow was super comfortable. No more achy sleepless nights for me. 


The only negative part of my entire experience was the state of the pillow boxes when they were delivered to me. The boxes were crumpled with some parts falling off and looked as though they had taken a beating. Luckily the pillows inside were still in good condition as they were wrapped in plastic. While I understand the pillows are not fragile, I would still have like to received them in a pristine condition via in studier box or outer box to protect the package. 

I shouldn't be so surprised by the pillow's performance as it was featured as 1 of the Best 8 pillows to buy in Singapore 2020. Origin Mattress founders, Shaun and Gee understand that buying a mattress is a long term investment and one that will stick with you for a decade. They also know that shopping for one comes with endless unfamiliar terminologies and pushy salesmen and want to simplify the selection process.

Their Superior Coolmax® Latex Pillow have gone through dozens of sleep trials, more than 10 different product tests and 100 density changes before making it to market. Designed in Germany by a team of experts, Origin is confident that their pillow is one of the best available in Malaysia and Singapore, matching even the best and highest priced pillow in terms of features and function. The pillow comes with its own cover, secured with a zip but if you want to keep it clean for longer, you can throw on your pillow casing. 

If you want to get your own Origin Superior Coolmax® Latex Pillow (priced at RM490, ongoing offer RM400), you can order it online at their recently launched website Origin Hybrid®️ Mattress. They offer free delivery to anywhere in Peninsular Malaysia, 15 years warranty and also free returns and full refunds with their 120 night trial. 

For those who prefer to touch-touch and see-see before buying, they have a showroom at the details below: 

Showroom address: 77, Jalan SS2/55, 47300, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia, 
Opening hours: Mon - Fri (10am - 7pm), Sat (10am - 5pm)

[Hotel Review] Four Points by Sheraton Chinatown 2D1N Staycation

Chinatown Kuala Lumpur has garnered some hype on social media for the revamping of Kwai Chai Hong and the emergence of many bars, cafes and traditional-turned-modern eateries built into the historical shoplots. It is in reminiscent of what Penang has done with Georgetown and it's certainly a step in the right direction to preserve the charms of the area. Weekends often sees swamps of visitors taking to the streets to check out the alley and instagrammable cafes in the area. 


And swiftly becoming an easy identifiable landmark in Chinatown is Four Points by Sheraton Chinatown. I recently enjoyed a staycation at the hotel thanks to Triumph Malaysia and the first thought that came to mind was...I can check out the bars in the area and just head back to my room after! Better yet, I can just roll out of bed and check out the morning scene of Chinatown.

Discovery Channel's Shark Week 2020 Featuring “Fintastic” Shark Edutainment And Hollywood Celebrities

I will confess, I have an unexplained fascination with sharks. Granted, I have never got diving or cage diving before to see one of them upclose but have spiralled into the black hole of shark videos on Youtube. Bonus points if the videos are about huge ass megaladons.

[Hotel Review] OYO RG Heritage Boutique Hotel, Penang

If there is one tip I will given you when in Penang, is stay in a heritage hotel. Trust me. It's quite an experience being able to appreciate the architecture and design of these old shoplots or house turned accommodation. These hotels are also often more affordable and strategically located within proximity of the good food that Penang is known for. 

Case in point: my recent stay at OYO RG Heritage Boutique Hotel.

[App Review] Booking a car on Trevo for a Penang Roadtrip

Did you know that 90% of a car's lifetime is spent parked? Go to work, park car. Go home, park car. Go to shopping mall, paktor and park car. Does getting stuck in traffic jam count as parked? 

Basically, despite all our ride-sharing and public transportation options, Malaysians still love owning their own car (or in some cases, cars) but with the price of convenience, comes the price of literally watching your cash burn away. Every car owner should know that cars do not appreciate in value. 

But what if there was a way for your car to pay itself off? That's where Trevo comes in. To put it simply, it's like Airbnb for cars. If you have a car just sitting in your house, you can put it up on Trevo to be booked by a guest in need of a car. Guests, like myself when I needed a sedan car for my road trip to Penang.

6 Products from Earth Home for a Pest-Free House

Like most households in Malaysia, my bedroom is no stranger to having the occasional cockroach and lizard make an appearance. This, of course, has me rolling up whatever newspaper I have at hand to whack the crap out of the roach. 

Or in the case of a lizard...me screaming from the room and refusing to go back inside for a couple of hours. Yes, I loathed lizards that much and having cats doesn't help.

Fukuoka, Kyushu [Day 5 Part 3] - Half Day in Itoshima

Phew, I am finally on part 3 of day 5.

To recap, I spent my morning exploring some parts of Nagasaki and then drove to Takeo, Saga to visit the Teamlab Borderless exhibition in Mifuneyama Hotel and the gardens. Our final stop before Fukuoka was Itoshima, a lazy seaside town an hour's drive away. The journey to get there from Takeo had us heading off the main highway and into the countryside, alongside clean rivers, mountain passes and some of the steepest and loopiest overhead roads ever to be installed into the side of a mountain. Definitely one of the most memorable drives of that trip - the other being the near zero visibility driving down Mount Aso.
