Nando’s Celebrates 20 Years of PERi-PERi Perfection!

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Nando’s Celebrates 20 Years of PERi-PERi Perfection!

How time flies?!? Nando’s is in Malaysia for 20 years! It was a pleasure to be invited to celebrate their 20th anniversary at their AEON Kuching Central establishment.


You ever wonder how your Nando’s favourite sauce is made? We were given opportunity to make our own. It was fun! It’s very simple, all you need is PERi-PERi chilies, onion, oil, herbs, fresh lemons, and garlic. I made mine and it was soooooooo spicy! Try to make it at home, it’s not hard at all. No measurements of the ingredients, just adjust to your own liking.


Happy birthday, Nando’s.


How can you not eat the chicken when you’re at Nando’s? The chickens are marinated in the sauce for 24-hours and then basted with your choice of heat level ranging from lemon & herb to the fiery Extra Hot.

Do download Nando’s mobile application if you like to go to Nando’s. You will get to enjoy the rewards such as redeeming a free quarter chicken or whole chicken once you’ve collected nine chillies.

Hope you enjoy your flamed-grilled chicken.

Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village, Yuchi Township, Nantou County

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village, Yuchi Township, Nantou County

I’ve been to Taiwan twice, all for work, all in Taipei. This time around, the third time, finally it’s for holiday. Of course, we ventured out of Taipei, only spent 2 nights in Taipei. I’ll share the key places we’ve been for this trip. Will share where we stayed after all attractions posts.

Our first day was spent in the airport, the plane, the airport, the plane, then on the road to Nantou County from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.

We visited Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village on our second day starting in the morning at 9.30am. Entrance ticket is NT$850/adult while children and senior citizen(65 years old and above) is NT$420/pax. There will be morning welcome show at the Culture Square near the entrance. You can have photo opportunity with the performers after that.


Before visiting the culture village, make sure you have your mosquito repellent ready! A lot of them to feast on you. I was their feast haha… While inside the village, there are many mosquito repellent available FOC on site, so be hardworking to apply it whenever you see it to reduce the possibility of being feast ;p You can check out my instagram on how yummy I was…



The cultural village is so huge. I can assure you that you need one whole day to discover the place. The entrance ticket is very reasonable which include cable car rides within the village and even go all the way to Sun Moon Lake, it also entitled you to play at the amusement park without additional charges. Food and beverage and merchandises are not included.


After the morning performance, be sure to take the cable car and go to the Sun Moon Lake Ropeway station first. You can choose to take the Crystal Cable Car, limited units available, you will just have to wait for it, there’s a special lane for it. The one we got on is the Crystal Cable Car, you can look all the way down.


View of Sun Moon Lake from the cable car.


The view of Sun Moon Lake. You can sit here and enjoy the breeze of the lake or have a stroll. Then ride the cable car to go back to Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village for lunch.


Back at the Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village, we went to get our lunch before exploring the cultural village. We had ours at Bunun BBQ. We ordered the Grilled Set Meal(NT$200) and some fancy pink fizzy drink(NT$50). Really don’t underestimate the portion, for small to average eater, you can share this one set. The set consists of corn, Taiwan sausage, yam, grilled pork, rice, and soup. The fizzy drink is quite refreshing with some jellies in it. Get one or two side orders to share for average eaters and you will be filled. By the way, it’s pork, pork, pork… Oh, make sure you clear your own plates after eating.




What you see here is just some of the things you can see. There are model houses of the native aborigines in Taiwan, a museum too. Along the way, there are many interactions with the staff. They are very professional. They took their job seriously, even when no body or people are still far from the site, they still continue with their “performances” like clockwork.



Demonstration of glass beads making at the Paiwan village (check out the video here). You can buy the handicraft here. We bought a few but just realized that we bought the more commercialized and fancy ones instead of the traditional glass bead as shown in the photo above.


Lots of sculptures around the cultural village. They have many owl sculptures and totems. The Thao believes that if a pregnant woman sees an owl on a tree nearby, it is the spirit sent to protect them. The spirit is said to be of an unmarried young lady who died after she was banished from her village because she became pregnant. Her body was found in the mountain, under a tree where an owl perched at the top of the tree.


The show at Pestle Music Theatre where you see traditional aboriginal instruments performance.


While at the Naruwan Theatre, this is where you can enjoy a series of aboriginal folk dances and they also interact with the visitors. If you are lucky, you might score yourself some souvenirs.



These are some activities you can do in the cultural village.


There you go… Be sure that you stay nearby and don’t be silly to try to visit this place if you are based in Taipei, it takes hours to drive here! You will be left with very little time and tired from the road trip. You need to spend a night in Yuchi Township in Nantou County to maximize your visit. Check out the official website for more information.

Wonderfood Museum, Penang

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Wonderfood Museum, Penang

Food! Who doesn’t love food? I personally really like things related to food. When I found out there’s a food museum in Penang, I decided to pay a visit to it.

Located at 49, Lebuh Pantai, George Town, 10200 George Town, Pulau Pinang. Entrance ticket is RM15/adult. You can get the ticket by clicking on this link.


Did you know that the food replicas found in The Borneo House Museum is also handcrafted by the same person who is from this museum?



The miniatures are so real! Very meticulously created! The actual size is smaller than what you see in the photo. I used macro mode for this.


The food replicas are amazing! Looked so real that many thought that the photo on the right, showcasing the Chinese New Year reunion dinner food are real when I posted it on my Instagram. People thought that I’m having these for my reunion dinner hahaha!! It’s such a grand affair but too bad it’s not my dinner.


If our food is colourful VS if our food is black & white. Mind you, the latter is not edited or using any camera filter, it is really black & white.


Spoilt food VS flying food.


This is where you can see giant replica of local food. Man… I just couldn’t take my eyes of all the food on display in this museum. While writing this, my stomach is grumbling…




These are just some of the giant replicas on display, you have to come here to see for yourself…


Aside from that, there are so much more to see. Can you see what is the photo on the left trying to portray? It’s using various food and cutlery to replicate the famous Mona Lisa drawing. Giant durian, mangosteen, and roti canai can also be found there.


There are many photo opportunities in the museum. Just have fun! It’s very educational as well because you can learn about various nutritional values and some facts about the food we eat.


Not only that, they also try to create awareness and educate the visitors of issues surrounding our lives related to food.

What you see here is just a tip of the iceberg. I highly recommend this place if you are to visit Penang. I could easily spend two hours in this museum admiring the replicas. Have a yummilicious visit!

AEON is going to open its door to shoppers on 20th April 2018. Was lucky to get a sneak peek of the place before it opened to the members at 1pm today. This is AEON Co. (M) Bhd. first mall in East Malaysia. Located along Jalan Keretapi, it’s so huge that you will not miss it *LOL* Housing more than 130 retail lots spread across three floors with 1800 car park bays that spread over five level of its multi-level parking.

There’s a lot of food counters such as ‘Ready to Cook’, ‘Salmon Counter’, ‘Marinated Counter’, ‘Premium Fruit Gift Pack’, ‘Cut Fruits & Juice Counter’, ‘Cheese Counter’, ‘Korean Kimchi Counter’, and ‘We Cook You Eat’ cooking station. The cooking station is what attracted me the most, it is something you cannot find anywhere else but in AEON, pretty interesting, will try it out when I’m there again.



The F&B selections with ready-to-eat light bites, easy preparation meals, and authentic Japanese cuisine such as sushis, assorted tempuras, pizzas, cooked meats, hot snacks, assorted sandwiches, salads, and more. Not to forget variety of buns and pastries at ‘La Boheme’ Bakery.
