Melaka: One Day Itinerary

Our Malaysian getaway comprised of two locations only, Kuala Lumpur and Melaka. We spent two days in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur. The city made us run with it. It is a fast active and vibrant city. We loved it! On the third day, we wanted to relax a little and spend a few hours in a quieter place. With just 24 hours left to our departure flight, the little town of Melaka that...

Melaka: Jonker Street Night Market

So, you have shopped in the malls at Kuala Lumpur and now there is little money to spare. But the heart wants what the heart wants; and the heart wants to shop. Well, the Jonker Street Night Market at Melaka is the place to shop to your heart’s content and still not drill a hole in your pocket. You can buy whatever you want – clothes, antiques, chinaware, wind chimes…and some interesting stuff like a...

Casa del Rio: Hotel Review

Our Kuala Lumpur-Melaka trip was a mix of budget and luxury. We spent USD 5 for lunch and USD 200 for dinner the next night! Another luxurious escapade was spending a day at the Casa del Rio at Melaka. The Mediterranean architecture and balconies with bougainvillea reminded us of our accommodation at Mykonos two years ago, albeit without spending the airfare to reach Europe. Here is a snapshot of Casa del Rio…   Location Melaka...

Kuala Lumpur: 2 Days Itinerary

Ankur and I have stopped gifting stuff to each other on birthdays, anniversaries and other occasions. We have decided to put all the ‘gifting money’ into a pool and spend it all on travelling the world. Not too bad an idea, is it? Our ‘travel fund’ took us to Jordan and Croatia earlier this year and there really wasn’t much left in the kitty to plan another trip. But being the finance people that we...

Kuala Lumpur: Veg Foodies’ Delight!

I like the tag line of the Malaysian Tourism Board: ‘Malaysia – Truly Aisa’. It really is true, at least for the foodies! We have been to plenty of places in Asia – Thailand, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, India and the Maldives. Malaysia offers the palette a taste of all these countries and more, including Japan, and Korea. We have struggled a bit in Thailand for vegetarian food and have eaten boiled rice and stir...

Malindo Air: Airline Review

We want to travel ever so often. Our whims and fancies would take us to a new destination every alternate weekend if budget wasn’t a constraint. Hence, every sale on air fare or introduction of a new low cost carrier is a reason of us to celebrate. We don’t care whether the flight takes us to an interesting location in India or lets us add another stamp to our passport – our bags are always...

Tweet Tweet: KL Bird Park

About a decade ago, I went through a ‘Tweety’ obsessed phase. I had key chains with Tweety bird showing off his cuteness – in a Christmas hat… with a football… in funky sunglasses… and many more. I had Tweety bird erasers, mugs, pen stands and soft toys. Remnants of this obsessive phase still exist at my folks’ place. ‘I twaut I thaw a puddy tat’ was like music to my ears! For someone who is...
