Koh Lipe – how to make it cheaper?

On by Kaśka&Michał Posted in Asia, Bez kategorii, ThailandTagged , , , , , , , 6 Comments

In the southern Thailand you can literally experience a true taste of paradise. How? Just go to Koh Lipe Island located near Thai border with Malaysia. And trust us, you don’t need a fortune to spend your vacation there. We do not propose holidays in luxury resorts but those on a budget spent in a much more interesting way, eating in bars with local people for 50 THB (about 1.25USD), sleeping in a tent for 5USD and, yes, this can all be done in Koh Lipe! There are some things, however, that you cannot skip, like e.g. cost of ferry to the island and the entrance fee to the Tarutao National Park, which this idyllic island belongs to. More info below 🙂

The best bites in the Philippines

On by Kaśka&Michał Posted in Asia, Bez kategorii, The PhilippinesTagged , , 24 Comments

Reading the posts on the internet describing the Filipino cuisine, you can easily become discouraged to eat in the Philippines right from the start. Personally, we think there are various alternatives to choose from. If you’ve tried a  dish that doesn’t go with your taste, no worries, there are other culinary options to satisfy your stomach. Michal as a chef got even inspired by some dishes and decided to use this inspiration in the future.. 🙂

Dried worms, grilled chicken intestines – exotic snacks of the Philippines

On by Kaśka&Michał Posted in Asia, Bez kategorii, The PhilippinesTagged , , , 8 Comments

In the Philippines there are many snacks and dishes that arouse great controversy. Filipinos like giblets, they throw kidney, liver, heart of a pork to a soup, eat chicken feet (so-called Adidas), they impale pig and chicken intestines on sticks and put them on the grill, they sell ‘balot’ on the stalls (a popular duck egg which in fact contains its embryo). Similarly as in Cambodia you can also find here some fried worms or those already dried which can be purchased at the usual supermarket in a small plastic bag (they taste like crisps and are very cheap).

It seems that the most difficult is the first step … And the first post! As everybody is afraid of the unknown and undiscovered. Especially when you need to leave your orderly life. But there comes a moment when you simply know that you must do this! So this is why one day we quit our well-paid jobs, resigned from buying a new car and from other conveniences and decided to set off on a journey to Asia. It started from 2-week expeditions, e.g. to Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. And this step led to many others which we don’t regret at all. That step also made us to create this place – a space for commemorating our expeditions, stories about the unknown tastes and sharing impressions from our adventures.
