TRAVEL ALERT: Updated Jan 8, 2008

I was informed by a reader that there have been recent attacks by masked, armed bandits in Rosarito and Puerto Nueve. Kindly read this article on MSNBC and US Department of State Travel Warnings site before going.

Where can you get some of the best–and affordable lobsters–in the world? The answer lies in a small coastal town named Puerto Nuevo, or self-described as “Lobster Capital of Baja California” in Mexico; a convenient 30 to 40 minutes drive south of the San Diego-Mexico border.

Other than the milder weather, nice environs and good food, one great perk of living in Southern California is the fact that I can practically go abroad in 2 hours, driving. I have been to Puerto Nuevo many times to savor the scrumptious lobsters, but this post marks the first entry in Rasa Malaysia and serves as an ultimate guide to eating the best lobsters in the world.

Essence of Shangri-La Cookbook

I spent two wonderful nights at Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa in Penang. I can’t wait to tell you all about it, but for now, I wanted to share this cookbook with you.
“Essence of Shangri-La Living. Dining” is easily one of the best and most beautiful Chinese cookbooks I have ever come across. This book is a collaboration of the…

Eating London

I just came back from London and can’t wait to share with you the foods I devoured. This is my second trip to London (the first trip was in 2000) and all I can say is London rules.
Who says London has no great restaurants and don’t have much to offer in the food department? I disagree. If you are a…

The Great Wall of China (Jiankou Great Wall / 箭扣长城)

I came, I climbed, I conquered (despite multiple mishaps and bodily injuries*).
I can’t think of any words to describe The Great Wall of China. It’s simply beyond words. I was utterly speechless when I reached the top.
Speechless.

This is the last of my photoblog series for Beijing, China.
With this set of 35 pictures, I will take you on a virtual tour to Beijing: The Temple of Heaven (天坛), the narrow alleys of hutong (胡同), Bell and Drum Towers (钟楼鼓楼), and more.
Buckle your seat belt and let’s go…

Eating Beijing Food

I had a great time in Beijing this time and here are a small subset of the scrumptious food I had while I was there.
I went back to Paper again (this time to my disappointment as the set dinner was almost the same with only a few new dishes and the portion had gotten smaller), sampled some fantastic regional cuisines…

Beijing Pictures

I know you are probably more interested in the foods I had in Beijing, but I wanted to share some people photography I took in Beijing first.
I love shooting photos of local people when I travel–be it an old man sitting by a narrow alley in hutong, local vendors busy with their daily lives, or a dog whose home is…
