Forest Bathing on Hiking Trips

I really miss hiking! Hiking is a form of meditation for me, escaping the noise of society into a calm natural setting. With every step I take, I rejoice in the beauty of the universe's creations. Forest bathing, a term I wasn't aware of until I began my hike routines, is a process that heals the body. I stand by this concept as there were many times I would feel chaotic or low on energy and would find instant relief with a short hiking trip.

Leaves in autumn make for crunchier footsteps

Always love reaching the apex, proof of a good day's workout

I've always found fogs the most gorgeous/mysterious of all of the universe's creation

Seeing farm animals intrigues me as a city girl
Magnolia trees in spring create an awesome backdrop in the middle of town

Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Thai Sauce

Image
As I was searching for a place to have a big breakfast, I stumbled upon a Malay-style restaurant inside KLCC called Aseana. As I browsed through the menu, there were various traditional delicacies listed including Nasi Lemak, Curry Puff and other nice choices for the Malaysian at heart. I decided to try my luck on the Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Spicy Thai Sauce. Rest assured. It was spicy to the core. The combination of the rolls, or as we Malaysians so lovingly call it "popiya" is a rolled-up hard crispy thin dough with the stuffing of bean-sprouts, chili and potatoes. The Thai sauce was magnificent and cuts the rolls to a stinging after-taste. Unless you aren't a bravado, do not attempt to try this dish! As far as I am concerned, it was superb. I managed to gulp down only three of the six rolls. They were quite filling. Try Aseana in KLCC Ground Floor for this lovely serving of chili extravaganza!

Hummus with Lebanese Bread + Lemon Chill

I love Lebanese food. No questions asked. One day, I sort of dropped by Dome's KLCC for lunch. Then I ordered the Lemon Chill, a tall glass of lemonade; and Hummus, which is an authentically Arabic dish with thick chickpea paste. Being a chick on the peas, this Lebanese cuisine enthusiast was not all excited about the taste of the hummus served here. The blend was really bland and although thick,the tinge of the different ingredients refused to meet my taste bud. Well maybe I made the wrong turn of going into a Western-concept restaurant, hoping them to deliver what was supposed to be a marvelously wine and dine Lebanese cuisine. RM27.40 down the loo, sob sob.
