The Little Chef has carved a name for its fast service and good food. Located in Boulevard Commercial Centre near Maybank, it is easy to find as it has a huge signboard.

I was at Emart last night when I came across a tamu vendor selling a fruit that looks like a large size chiku. The vendor told me that it is buah binjai (scientific name Mangifera caesia) and that it has a sweet & sour taste. She said many Bruneians like the fruit very much.

I went there again at about 8am this morning after getting tips from Josephine Lim, my ex-colleague in Brunei, who had successfully photographed the hornbills. After parking my car at the ...

I went to TGV at Permaisuri Imperial City Mall this afternoon to watch the Singapore movie “Our Sister Mambo” at Hall 2. And for the first time in my life, I had the whole hall to myself as I was the only patron! Our Sister Mambo is a family comedy drama commemorating the 80th anniversary of Cathay Organisation. It is ...

I have been fascinated by bird photography for quite a while. Bird photography, especially wild bird photography, is very challenging. Wild birds usually don’t pose where you want and it’s often difficult to get close enough to take quality pictures. Bird photography is one of the greatest photographic pursuits and also one of the most popular genres of nature photography. ...

The unique flavours at Sun City Cafe offer a welcome change to the local dining experience. If you want to have a great Indian food experience, drop by the cafe in Centre Point Miri.
