Yangon trip - the food that I had

The free breakfast provided by the The Willow Inn during my stay was good. When Michael and I ventured out for the local delicacy, we found that was not much varieties. Fortunately, there were some decent places for dining. One of the places was the Indian restaurant (forgot the name, I think it's Nilar Biryani). They served the best Faluda (as claimed by the foodies in the internet). It is actually a sweet dessert drink, kinda like our Malaysian's ABC. But I think their briyani was the best. We ended up patronizing that place twice. We also tried the #1 restaurant in Yangon, 999 Shan Noodle House, as claimed by Tripadvisor. Well, just say their noodles were not as best as my favourite wantan mee in SS2.

A friend of Michael brought us to Shan Yoe Yar. A decent restaurant that serves food from the Shan State. This was really awesome. How to describe it - a mixture of Chinese and Thai flavor. The most unforgettable meal was the local mixed rice. They like to have their dish super oily - to keep away the flies from stopping by the food. By the way, the best Faluda was in Shwe Pu Zun Coffee House, as recommended by Michael's friend. Couldn't agree more.

Fried Kuey Teow in Chinatown. They served Malaysian food. The chef could have worked in Malaysia before.

Trip 01-06.....rough itinerary

Category: Travel OK, time is catching up. I have about 3 weeks left before the trip. Have drafted out initial itinerary: 6 May - Fly to BKK and transit to Udon Thani. From Udon Thani, go to Nong Khai and cross over Laos border. Immigration office opens until 10pm. Hope to reach Vientiane before midnite. 7 May - Excursion around Vientiane. 8 May - Travel to Vang Vieng. Not really want to spend 11 hours on the bus to get to Luang Prabang. Have a pit stop will be nicer. 9 May - Continue to Luang Prabang. 10 May - Excursion around Luang Prabang. 11 May - Slow boat to Pak Beng. Mandatory pit stop due to slowliness of the boat. 12 May - Slow boat to Huoy Xai. I guess have to over night here (immigration office might be closed at time of arrival). 13 May - Cross over to Thailand. Might not stay in Chiang Rai. Proceed to Chiang Mai. 14 May -Back to Malaysia.

Dangers Men Face #1 - A Dangerous Journey

As we live our life in this fallen world, we are exposed to all sort of "dangers". Danger brings different meaning and experience to each individual. But the danger which we fear the most are the ones we do not see until it is too late. No doubt satan brings good disguise until the victim slowly entrapped into sweet temptation. Each one of us have dreams. Our dreams somehow change along the course of life. Most of the members felt that perspective and dream change as we follow Christ. Dangers come in whether we know it or not. If we are not aware, dangers will destroy our dreams. The members believe the prominent danger that Christians are facing is danger of dream. Christians tend dare not to have big dream (big dream for spiritual work). This could be due to biblical values which have molded the perspective of each Christians. Martin Luther did have a big dream. There are five dangers to be explored: danger of loss, danger of sin, danger of freezing, danger of witdrawal and...

Trip 01-06.....the preparation

Category: Travel Time flies so fast. I only have one month left before go to Laos. Had done some reading on Laos lately. Had bought the new edition of Lonely Planet: South East Asia on a Shoestring. Planning to utilise the guide in other future trip as well (probably Bali and The Philippines). Basically we (Dr Mic and I) haven't finalised the itinerary. Hopefully will be able to come out the rough plan (we did have a rough plan but haven't finalised it though).
