 Welcome back! As promised, this is the Part 2 of our pioneer mission in Lost World of Tambun. To follow from beginning, Read Lord of The Limestone Part 1 and how did we end up there :) Did we find our way in the park? Well, not really! The signposts are placed minimal. Don't you know you are in Lost World? The best way out is to get lost in the limestone gardens! Just to reach bathroom, I asked two people in two separate occasions. Armed with the artist impression map of Lost World, we made up o… |

 In line with going green, going for organic food is one of the ways to encourage natural and organic farming. Besides, less chance of building up notorious chemicals in our body thus a healthier body. In fact, there are many great benefits going for organic produce except the matter on dollars and cents!Speaking of cost, a decent lunch out in an average Penang restaurant easily sums up to RM10-15 per person. If your budget evolves around this figure, then IE Organic Cafe may come in as an option… |

 Once upon a time..After lunch a little girl changed into a well-pressed white shirt. She then slipped on a dark blue pinafore. Zipped. Belted. Pulling up her socks, matching with a pair of white chalked canvas shoes, she was ready for her day. She slung a bag over her small shoulder, heading to the five-foot way of her house. Sitting down on a stool and gazing on the road. This little girl was waiting for a trishaw (rickshaw) to take her to school. A few cars passed, some motorbikes and bikes to… |

 What do you think of Xian Ding Wei Taiwanese Tea Room if we visited on one weekend and again on the following weekend? Sounds like either it is darn good (to us) or we are out of mind, right? We are sane, so I guess you get the clue.Located adjacent to Sake Sushi in Penang Queensbay Mall, Xian Ding Wei Taiwanese Tea Room is not a new place to us. The first visit was during our home trip back to Asia. Since we had our baby-moon in Taiwan, our good friends suggested a Taiwanese cuisine to complete… |

 School holiday is the best time to take kids to theme parks. If one googles online, there are more than a dozen of theme parks in Malaysia. From north, central to south, and highlands amidst lush greenery to water parks within concrete jungles. Nonetheless, massive is not the adjective to describe these man-made parks. And compare with Disneyland, Universal Studio or Sea World are only to get you upset and ruin the excitement. The secret to be happy is to enjoy the best of what the park has to o… |

 A cup of white coffee in Ipoh is a must! Thanks to Old Town White Coffee's branding, today everyone knows that Ipoh is the best city in Malaysia to sip a cuppa of aromatic white coffee!Unlike the folks in other places, Ipoh's residents seldom go for the 3-in-1 sachet of the white coffee on supermarket aisle. What they are fond of doing is heading downtown to spoil themselves at the kopitiams near Kinta Heights 20 story-flat! The most talk about white coffee rendezvous refers to the cross-ro… |

 Stepping into parenting means serious business. Yet there is no one parenting bible that fits all. Every human is unique and so does our child. As much as we try and strive to be the most perfect parents to our children, we may be too engrossed in our own way, forgo a little wisdom, hardly see what we could turn out to be. Are we going to be the most perfect parents only in our own eyes and our own mind?Authoritarian parenting, fanatic parenting or perhaps what the Strait settlement folks in Pe… |
