About me:
Born and raised in Malaysia, I’m a small town girl currently living in Kuala Lumpur since 2007. Between 2014 and 2015, I’ve gone on seemingly endless trips to many beautiful cities around the world, including Melbourne, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Hoi An, and Bangkok. While Kuala Lumpur is a busy city that’s constantly changing, I’ve listed some of my go-to places to eat, drink, and see.

Favourite Restaurants in Vietnam
Prior to my trip to Vietnam, I had very little exposure to the local cuisine apart from familiar names such as spring rolls and beef pho noodles. Needless to say, I’m now a huge fan of Vietnamese dishes, particularly xoi (sticky rice), bun thit nuong (grilled pork with rice vermicelli), and egg custard coffee. Here are some of my favourite restaurants in Vietnam.

Favourite Nightlife Spots in Vietnam
While most people love travelling to Vietnam for its dirt-cheap booze, that’s not the case for myself. My favourite nightlife spots are great for experiencing the local lifestyle (think drinking on plastic stools set right next to busy traffic), catching live music performances, and simply enjoying a great view of the city.
