Despite the heavy weekday morning traffic, the 2.5-hour drive was otherwise smooth, making this Hobbitoon Village very accessible. Hobbitoon Village nestled on 50 acres within a sprawling 300-acre plantation, surrounded by lush vegetation. The entrance…

Why I Started Blogging
With all the drama happening on TikTok and Instagram lately, I’ve decided to restart my blog. It’s not earning me anything (yet!), but at least here, I have some control over my content and its destiny.

Puas hati makan hari ni!
This is beef sundubu jjigae – a hearty Korean stew. I ordered it from Sopoong at Aeon Mall Shah Alam for RM28.13, including delivery, and honestly, it was worth every sen.

Even before leaving the house, I’d already done my homework, scrolling through videos of the event and screenshotting the must-visit stalls.

Family-Friendly Dining: Muhibbah Seafood Restaurant
Muhibbah has been around for as long as I can remember, back when I first moved to Taman Tun. A quick Google search tells me that Muhibbah Seafood has been serving since 1986. However, I only started going there regularly in my late 20s or early 30s. Let’s be honest: when I first started working,…
