Maniam Teh Halia @ KL, Malaysia.

I've been eyeing this place for a few years and finally at long last, I managed to go. It's a simple no frills shop tucked in a small lorong off Jalan Pahang.

There's some small nasi lemak packets and a few kuihs to go with your teh tarik.

The nasi lemak was pretty standard. The star here is the teh tarik halia, good stuff!!! No wonder people are hyped up about this place.

Hotaru 119 Omakase & Izakaya - Sanampao @ Bangkok, Thailand.

I became a lamp post and crashed a couple's lunch omakase :D Well, they did the booking and I just came with my hungry tummy! I forgot how many courses was it but boy was I full after this meal.

The lunch omakase was splendid. The quality of ingredients is top notch. The whole course will take some time, so best pair it with a sake bottle or two. And trust me, please make sure you skip breakfast before heading here.

Doodle Izakaya @ Bangkok, Thailand.

Chance upon this place while googling what's for dinner in this area. A Japanese izakaya with a modern take on some of its dishes.

We only ordered a few dishes to try but everything was impeccable. Food is tasty and presentation was good. Staff was friendly and courteous.

Jae Wan เจ้วรรณ ขนมหวาน @ Bangkok, Thailand.

So while waiting for our queue to Jeh O Chula we came here for some desserts. Place is packed when we got in, but trust me it's worth coming here. 

Definitely a must go if you're around this area. So many choices of desserts and everything was super yummy.

Jeh O Chula Banthatthong ร้านเจ๊โอว @ Bangkok, Thailand.

I was thankful for this trip this round in Bangkok because finally I managed to try the famous instant noodles in Jeh O Chula. I normally don't bother with queueing but this group of friends did everything and I just tag along, talk about pure laziness. 

We ordered some starters to share. 

Now the star of this place is the instant noodles topped up with some amazing freaking stuff. Just choose the protein of your liking and how many eggs you want.

This place is no wonder packed. I never had an amazing bowl of instant noodles packed with steroids. The bomb! OMG! I'll definitely be back here again and queueing to eat this.

Phed Mark เผ็ดมาร์ค @ Sukhumvit Road @ Bangkok, Thailand.

Been wanting to come here and see what's the fuss about their stir fry basil rice. Man I came here on odd hours and it was still packed. Decided to tapau and eat in my hotel.

Menu was relatively easy, comes in English as well. Just choose your protein, spicy level and how many eggs.

Went for a chicken stir fry basil rice with one duck egg. I reckon I should have eaten there, because the egg yolk was pretty cooked by the time I got back to the hotel. Don't get me wrong, it is nice, but the price is a bit on the high side.

Hờn Fishcake Noodle Soup Bún chả cá Hờn @ Da Nang, Vietnam.

Well you're by the coast in Da Nang and you have to try their specialty fish cake noodle soup. This time I went and check out Bun cha ca hon.

Nice, full of ingredients and the broth is super shiok. Decent on the wallet too. Don't forget to add the condiments on the table.

Menu is well laid out and they have English translation too.
