Brisbane, like most Australian cities, have great brunch places. Whichever restaurant or eatery you head to, you are likely to have a more than decent brunch.
Besides that, however, Brisbane also serves many other types of food. With a relatively large Asian population in the city, there are quite a few Vietnamese and Japanese eateries around the city. Coffee houses are an obvious hit with locals and tourists alike as well. All these mean that food-wise, you are unlikely to go wrong in Brisbane. Check out our list of food places that you should head to while in Brisbane below!

Brisbane is often associated with Gold Coast, as it used to be the gateway for travellers to head there. As a result, tourists often spend only a day or two at Brisbane, or sometimes simply bypass the city altogether, in order to travel to Gold Coast. This is quite unfortunate, as Brisbane has much to offer. While it may not have the famous beaches of Gold Coast, much less being a surfer's paradise, Brisbane has many cultural attractions and museums, along with Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. It is also the place to be if you want to roam amongst kangaroos. If you wish to have a more 'holistic' destination where singles, couples, and families can enjoy, Brisbane is the place to be at. I really enjoyed my time in Brisbane, and want to be back again one day. Check out our list of attractions below that Brisbane has to offer!
By Mario Ng Note: This is a re-post as part of a consolidation effort to shift all articles to the blog. Held between 27 and 29 October 2017, the 2017 Shell Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix is basically a three-day carnival for motorcycle enthusiasts. Located at Sepang Circuit, the MotoGP holds its race at the identical track used by its Formula 1™ cousin. Being a fan of fast cars, I had to check out what’s so special about this particular race in Malaysia!

Kuala Lumpur has some great food to offer both locals and tourists, with many eateries and restaurants in the city area serving all types of food.

Kuala Lumpur (KL), the capital of Malaysia, is a beautiful city to visit. Located in Southeast Asia, it is also a good gateway to head to the rest of the cities, such as Singapore, Phnom Penh, and Hanoi, just to mention a few places.
The city itself has many places where one can explore. For sure, Petronas Twin Towers and Menara KL Tower are top of the list for most visitors. However, get past that and you start to see the cultural beauty of KL. They have the awesome Islamic Arts Museum, while the National Museum is great place to visit. These offer insights into the country's past, and are worth exploring. Remember to check out the Google map all the way below for our full list of attractions and food places you should head to while in Kuala Lumpur!

Penang is known as Malaysia’s food capital, and some locals might add this extends to the entire Southeast Asia region!
While we are not sure if the above statement is true, we definitely agree that Penang is a food paradise! Although the time we spent in Penang was short and we were not able to try everything, we enjoyed the food we had at most of the eateries and restaurants we went to! For sure, we will be back in Penang again and we hope to add on to this list of where and what to eat in Penang! Check out our food guide below to see what you can eat the next time you head to Penang!

Penang, Malaysia's food capital, has a wide variety of attractions for everyone to enjoy. For those who might consider what places to visit, Penang's Peranakan culture is well-known. Quite a few buildings have turned into museums for everyone to see how its former Peranakan owners used to live. Due to the predominantly Chinese population, there are also quite a few clan associations still active in Penang. Attractions for the families are catered for, with KOMTAR, the tallest building in Penang, having an observation deck for everyone to enjoy the city from above. Make sure you check out Penang Hill as well, with temperatures considerably lower than that of the city. We can see why the British used to stay there all year round! Check out our list of attractions you should visit in Penang below!

Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon, is known as the more developed cousin, compared to the laid-back city of Hanoi. Hence, the pace in Saigon is relatively faster, and could be a good thing for those who wish to cover more in a shorter time.
Ho Chi Minh City has grown a lot, especially after it was reunified after the Vietnam War. Since then, it has become Vietnam’s financial centre, with many MNCs choosing to set up shop in Saigon. This allows the city to have a good mix of cultural and modern sights, with many heading to HCMC not just to enjoy the museums, but also to enjoy the relatively modern city, compared to its more laid-back cousins in other cities. Yet, Ho Chi Minh City is still continuing to grow, and this can only be good news for travellers, who are enjoying top-quality restaurants and sights in the city. 
Below lies our version of a 4-day itinerary of Ho Chi Minh City, which is perfect for first-timers, as well as those who love to cover as much as possible!

By Mario Ng When it comes to hotel room service, we generally have a couple of things to look out for in determining if that particular hotel’s room service is worth it. First, we do expect the prices to be quite high, as with most five-star (or otherwise similarly-ranked) hotels. Correspondingly, in terms of taste, the food should be similar to what one can find in good restaurants in the country. Based on the above, we rate Sofitel Singapore City Centre’s room service!  Sofitel Singapore City Centre Room Service - What's for lunch
By Mario Ng  We have always enjoyed staying in Sofitel properties and so this was no exception. We previously stayed at Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa, and were really happy with their service and room service. So, we knew we had to stay at Sofitel's Singapore flagship property. Check out our detailed review of our time spent at Sofitel Singapore City Centre!
