I'm Angie, a Malaysian living in Singapore, and I love Southeast Asia so much!
Even if I have only visited 6 of the 11 countries here. Perhaps being a small-town girl transitioned into a big-city woman gave me an opportunity to experience the regional charms from natural forest to concrete jungle, and the easy access to the local food culture put me right at home no matter where I go.
Over the past few years, I had the chance to meet a few long-term travellers from beyond, touring Southeast Asia. Often they would tell me that their favourite part about the region is the less touristy places, where they could put themselves right into the local experiences. I almost get what they mean - when I was researching for a Bali trip, I was so sick of repetitive contents about the same destinations and sights that I decided to forget about it, rented a scooter, and went about with my own exploration and schedule. Best decision ever made.
Bali aside, I began to think: what about everywhere ...

Hi all! Currently researching what foods to eat (i.e. local delicacy's or must-eats) while in Gifu, Japan. Any recommendations?
It has to be Hida beef from Takayama
Right! How could I forget about Hida beef. Thanks for the recommendation!
Gohei mochi and Soba noodles.
Maybe sansai if springtime
Thanks! I had to look up what sansai is. I should be there this Fall but it really depends on the borders...if/when it's open for independent travelers....
