AHH, THE NOTORIOUS STINKY TOFU!

Boy! This is the most fetid food I've ever come across. We happened to pass by a small eatery along the street of Shilin Night Market that sells this exotic fare - the Stinky Tofu. Stinky Tofu (also known by its Chinese name, Chou Dofu), is a marinated and fermented tofu dish. see more photos ...

A BIZARRELY KNOWN TOILET THEMED RESTAURANT

Posted by An Asian Traveler - Notable Travel Experience

To some it may seem outrageous and bizarre but honestly my main reason why I wanted to visit Taipei, Taiwan was to dine at Modern Toilet. I read a couple of articles about this place, and decided we had to go check it out for ourselves. see more photos ...

THE CU CHI TUNNEL EXPERIENCE

There were too many people inside the tunnel plus it was extremely hot, airless, dark and claustrophobic. The ceiling was so low that we had to move slowly in a squat position waggling like a duck, see more photos ...

SAFARI WORLD: SAFARI PARK AND MARINE PARK

We passed by at the Safari Station where hb and I paid for 300 Baht to have photos and cuddled our charming friends - the Orangutans. It was a rare opportunity for us to get an up close and personal encounter with a fully grown arboreal anthropoid ape. see more photos ...

SENTOSA LUGE

Shortly, we braced ourselves speeding down a hill over a course of 650 meter ending at the Siloso Beach. I felt like a child all over again. It was a fun-filled and exciting ride that hb and I won't forget. Pretty addictive! see more photos ...
