My own personal experiences with spas are limited to massage ‘parlors’. That’s probably an archaic word, but somewhere along the line many establishments have decided to slap the name ‘spa’ on their signs and crank up the prices and those lines have become a bit blurred. Since coming to Southeast Asia, I have a greater […]
Red Sky Restaurant & Bar
Considering Red Sky Restaurant & Bar ended up located next to a restaurant with a similar name, they’ve carved out their own Pantai Cenang niche becoming one of the favored landing spots for locals and tourists alike. Sometimes overlooked within their foliage laden enclave, the shady street-side restaurant and bar creates a perfect little tropical […]

Being a rather brazen person, the mischievous part of me would normally attempt […]
The Art of Cuisine @ Art Cafe
Spending much of my time in Langkawi, I was initially drawn here by the beaches, rainforest and the simple ‘island’ lifestyle. It was easy to leave behind the bustle of a cosmopolitan lifestyle of San Francisco in exchange for new adventures in Southeast Asia, but I soon found out a few things were missing… one […]
