Toh Lee – Tossed and Turned
No sooner than the Christmas turkey and plum pudding has settled on our stomachs most of us are thinking about Chinese New Year’s reunion dinner. Festive foodies can feast out at this time of the year and already many Chinese restaurants in Malaysia have started serving yee sang which is traditionally consumed at this time of the year.
Damai Laut – Almost Pangkor
After spending three hours driving up the North South Highway and along various backroads of Perak, the Swiss-Garden Golf Resort and Spa Damai Laut is a most welcomed site. Being a bit out of the way, the resort has gone to considerable lengths to log a decent map on its website as well as place strategic signs along the way. There are several exiting options from the highway including Bidor and Simpang Pulai.

Hardy Wines
While many wines are made for immediate drinking one of the great qualities of a good wine is that it should be hardy and able to endure time with good cellaring. One such style of wine is the iconic Australian wine bottled under the Hardys Eileen Hardy label. However, it wasn’t their ability to be hardy and age well that gave the wines their name. Indeed it was something more mundane in that the company is named after its founder, Thomas Hardy.
