Another must see city in Malaysia is the federal capital of Putrajaya. It is located south of Kuala Lumpur and is approximately a 30 mins drive. I find Putrajaya a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of city life to a much more calming environment surrounded by lakes and late 20th century architecture, this city enfolds one in tranquillity . Its eclectic  combination of buildings and bridges are best viewed when illuminated  at night.

This time around my family and I decided to do a short stay-cation and I feel it would help anyone who wants to spend just about a day in ...

Now there are several activities in Penang ranging from museum visits to beach activities its easy to loose track of time with so much to do. But some activities are an absolute must to capture the essence of Penang and its proud heritage. In 2008 Penang was designated as a UNESCO world heritage centre . The untouched buildings speak volumes of history showcasing local architecture  and design. There's  a mix of old and new unravelling a unique culture pot. Source: All About World Heritage Sites We decided to explore Penang national park. There are several trekking options in this park to explore the entire area and if you rather not walk there's a sea option via boat to get you to different areas of the park. Our itinerary  included monkey beach and turtle sanctuary looked after by a local family. The package cost MYR 200 ($50) which is pretty decent as we were about 7 people. The weather was extremely hot hence keep yourself hydrated and use the loo before goi...

This blog is going to be about the picturesque city of Penang located on the NorthWest of Malaysia , it comprises of mainland Seberang Perai and Penang Island. Its a good destination to experience true malaysian culture combining city and beach vibes. Penang is mainly known for the food by localites and it's easy to see queues miles long at popular food stalls scattered around the city. I am yet to do a food tour of Penang as I was with my family, I covered certain popular landmarks but shall definitely be back for some food!  p.s Shall attach details on getting there below We set off to Penang from Kuala Lumpur and reached within 4 hours to grumbling stomachs. A quick pit stop at the local mamak greeted us with local cuisine. The food was average which did dampen our expectations, I would suggest checking out " Penang Foodies " which is a Facebook page that contains all the inside scoop on popular stalls and restaurants in Penang as well as upcoming food festivals....

Hi Guysss, So lets get into the fun part of Redang Island which is the various on land and sea activities.To take advantage of low tides and sunny weather you do have to get up early and catch the fantastic sunrise across the horizon.We had a pre planned itenerary as we chose a package which I shall attach below. We decided to go snorkelling and covered 3 spots on Day 1 and 2 spots on Day 2 excluding the beach itself by the resort which is rich in marine life such a Clown Fish (nemo),Eels and several other fishes that get up close and personal with you. Feeding the fishies p.s they do bite your finger for more :P The food at the resort was scrumptious the cook was a welcoming and friendly local who served up dishes piping hot and even made us tea each time we requested for it.  The last day we decided to ditch snorkelling wake up early and take a walk through the forest to reach the other side of the island to an almost untouched beac...
