I’m ashamed to say that I may be one of the few people in Langkawi, who had not been to fatCUPID Restaurant at La Pari-Pari yet. I had met the ‘family’ initially when they were starting construction on their new ventures that included of all creative things a recycled tree house project. What can I […]
Yanzans the Garden Experts
A couple of years ago I got rather fanatical about gardening. The amazing thing about the tropics is that almost anything will grow, even if you don’t exactly have a ‘green thumb’.
