#FOODGASM #FOODHUNTER #AUNIEATS #FOODHUNTING #ALLABOUTFOOD

Doesn't the title seems familiar with all of you? 
Admit it, the first thing that you do when the food comes out is taking picture of it and directly uploading it to social media

Well the trend now is to capture the most delicious-looking food along with those hashtag right? Therefore you already made research on which and which place to dine, but what happens if you limitation of budget?
Fret not, in this entry i will share on how to post Insta-worthy food picture without taking too much cost and getting photos from Google.
My answer is.......
Travelling with travel agency!

Yes, this is the right solution for those who want to save their money.

Travel agencies usually bring their customers to a buffet restaurants, but actually depends on the company itself. If you are lucky, they will bring you to high-end restaurants that serve premium quality of foods.

The cons?
Well of course you can't choose the food, and the food might not be so tasty as your expectation.

                                                Here is another options:

  1. Bring your own food from home, any package food will do like Brahim's. They are easy to carry and as well as tasty. Those who can't live without Sambal Belacan or Tempoyak, maybe you can bring it from home.

2.   Buy staples food like rice or bread from convenience store in the country. Some countries like Korea and Japan sell variety of high-quality foods in their convenience store.

3. By doing the step above, you can save up much to buy coffee or other delicious food there!




Do make some research in places to eat especially when you are concern about the status of the food.
Last word, this is the most enjoyable part in holiday! Experiencing some new traditional good foods that eventually will turn out to be your favourite


Money $$$

You need money, in fact you need it most during your holiday other than passport and visa of course.

Do you know how much that you really need actually? Or where to keep it safe and sound?

Well these are my tips;
  1. Never bring excessive amount of money if you don't want to end up a broke. Follow your budget, make list of things you will spend money on it like transportations and accommodation.
  2. Bring one or two credit cards, just in case you will be broke before going back, credit cards are essential especially to shoppers.
  3. Always divide your money to several places to keep. Do not keep a large amount of money in the same place.
  4. Use unexpected things to hide out your money such as like your empty lip balm container. Or maybe, you can keep it in your socks. Be cautious of pickpockets, they exist in every country.
When do you need to go to money changer?

Well, it's up to you actually, but I prefer to convert my money 2 weeks before departing to the country. Currency rate changes every day, so you have to gamble your luck. It is essential that you convert your money in your country first before heading as the rate might be differ there.

Where can I convert my money?

Every authorised money changer around the country, but in my opinion airport is a not the place to change your money as the rate is quite high.

#OOTD is a powerful hashtag,  people all around the world use this hashtag to share their favourite outfits of the day. Well, another reason the Instagram is invented is to share our pictures right?
 And by pictures, I mean a really pretty one. Hence this entry is to share how to distinguish the right outfit to wear.


  • Take account of the season the country you are visiting, if it is located in South East Asia then you don't have to bring winter jacket
  • Remember that most Asia countries are hot and humid, bring clothes that can absorb all the sweats you're going to produce there. Eg: cotton materials.
  • Most Asian people wear really bright cheerful neon colours as daily outfits, hence use patterns and colours for your outfits.

Attractive? Yeah, to be fabulous you need to take account of the accessories too.

  1. Use a stylish backpack to keep your stuffs, one with bright colours and patterns. It makes you easier to spot your bag too
  2. The use of bracelets/necklace/earring are highly recommended, make these as your fashion statement plus with your cool outfits.
  3. While wearing high heels seem to be impossible, a comfy yet stylish sneakers will do just well for your #OOTD

Insta-Ready #MOTD part 2

Take this as motivation to look pretty girls!


Well you might not look like Kendall at first, but your makeup can transform you into a whole new person with confidence

“I love the confidence that makeup gives me.” 

Even top supermodel too use makeup to feel confident, so are we, the less supermodel type of persons that might be pretty in the inside more.
So today I will show some pretty little tricks that the Korean use to look natural yet so mesmerizingly beautiful. Watch this.

 

In my experience, Korean products are well-suit for Asian skin probably because the latest technology that they used but who cares, Korea is the cosmetic heaven for women!
Go shop the inexpensive makeups yet high-quality there, I have been to Korea and I still want to go there, in fact I maybe have some feeling to live there.

So the products that I use are mainly made from Ginseng and other Korean herbs. Those skincare products did wonder to my face, making me to use less makeup to conceal any flaws on my face. Laneige is also a good brand that Asian women should try, their famous BB Cushion, oh wow how can I define it? Worth every penny I spent on it. My other tip is to always and always apply night cream or soothing mask on your face before going to sleep. After a long journey, your skin deserve to be treated like a princess. My personal favourite is from Suera Young's Ginseng Mask and Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask. Those are essential for me.


If you are not into Korean style, well maybe you can do some other  alternatives.

Finding Mr Right!

Mr Right who? I'm taking about classy luggage, the right companion for your holiday
Nobody wants an expensive but easy to damage luggage right?
So, how to choose the right luggage?

Let's take a view on this video first. 

Is it helpful? Well I'm crossing my fingers here. hoping that your reaction will be like this

In my previous experience, I usually consider a few aspects before choosing the right luggage to  bring such as,
  1. weight of the luggage, this is the most important aspect of the luggage
  2. number of compartments
  3. size of the luggage
  4. colour and design
  5. brands name
My personal preference is Samsonite, mainly because of its design and functionability. As it is a quiet expensive brand, I usually buy it when it is Year End sale. If you are determined to use your luggage for a long time, I advise you to buy from Samsonite.

However, when I visited Guangzhou a few years ago I bought two luggage during my stay there. Mainly because I bought so many things there and my current luggage is not enough to keep my things hihihi. To my surprise, the luggages are in good quality, even though the price is affordable. 

This one of the luggage that I bought in China. Please don't mind my face, I must have accidently bite my cheek that time.
Bold, those who are brave to use this colour must be confident of themselves
                           Well, this is the reason on why you should bring the right luggage especially when                                    travelling in group. Things like this do happen when travelling.
Example of luggage that you can choose :)

Do you get something from this entry? Well I hope you did! Next post we are going to talk about makeup for holiday. Stay tune!

Fun (read: non stressful) preparation!

Is this your looks before travelling, having the holiday of your dream? Well if it is a YES, then you should read this blog.
In this entry, I will share my experience in preparing things before heading to your holiday destination. Most of Asia countries experience humid, hot weather around the world, but it really depends on your destination. Eastern Asia countries like China, Japan and Korea experience four seasons, therefore, you will have to prepare specific clothing for each season.

Korea's Nami Island in early winter
Once in a lifetime experience, skating on the snow!

Thailand, a tropical country. Make sure you wear the right cloth!
So, let's start listing and distinguishing which one that you need and you don't even need BUT your desire is forcing you to pack more than you have to.

Before packing what you need to do is:
1. Do some research about the country that you will visit, search for any tips and tricks from the experienced traveller. If you are travelling alone, you are bounded to do extra research, to secure yourself from any obstacles later. My advice is to try to read from bloggers who went to that country, their opinion usually honest, direct and helping rather than websites that promoting places, which might lie the readers about the reality.

Cik Epal (http://cikepal06.blogspot.com/) is a famous Malaysian blogger who went travelling and shares her experience in her blog. Her fun, attractive style of writing received a lot of positive feedback from the readers.

Other than that, study about local traditions and taboos in the country, preventing you from having any mishap. This also includes learning the local language to ease the communication with local people, especially if it is a non-English speaking countries.

Travel with confidence, have the time of your life
