Broccoli Slaw with Yogurt Tumeric Dressing and Nigella Seed

21st December 201518th December 2019 - Admin

One of the green that does not always form part of SOTG staple is the lucky broccoli. Though I love it especially when being steamed or stir fried, my other half does not fancy it. So when Mr E went on a work trip, I rolled up my sleeve for this all-star food that comeRead more

Cucumber and Apple Kerabu Salad

20th December 201518th December 2019 - Admin

What is ‘kerabu’? It is an Asian salad that I grew up with – a staple in South East Asian culinary offering. The balance of sweet-sour-spicy-salt combine with fresh ingredients sum up a perfect kerabu. It is all in the dressing! I enjoy making kerabu because it is very easy, quick and require minimal cookingRead more

Last weekend of @winterattantora till the site reo Last weekend of @winterattantora till the site reopen this coming October. Reminiscing UNESCO ancient city of Hegra or Mada’in Saleh (occupied by the same civilisation that built Petra in Jordan till Roman came to the Arabian Peninsula) I visited last month. This particular place is called Girls’ Mountain (Jabal Al Banat). There are 31 rock-cut tombs and most of them belong to girls/ladies. The status of those buried is reflected on the the size and level of decoration of the tombs. 🏵 Check out the symbols carved on the facades such as eagles, sphinxes, snakes, rosettes, urns. Make sure you view the last video #soundson . 🏵 There’s so much to explore here in Al Ula other than the tombs and the effort to do it is always worth it! I have more photos of this Nabataean ancient place to come. Have you ever thought of visiting Saudi Arabia? 🏵 Happy International Women’s Day! Special mention to wonderful women I met in the kingdom @Haiyan_mojo @fattouz @renye.art @myadbenatures @cymaazyz #womeninsaudi 🏵 #internationalwomensday #checkyourbias #everywomen #eachforequal #iwd2020 #zara #sotgtravel 🇸🇦 📍 Jabal Al Banat, Hegra, Al Ula
Around the resort, there were stunning sites to ex Around the resort, there were stunning sites to explore and wander around. I heard other runners stayed at farmhouses which sounded amazing - imagine waking up in surrounding of dates plantation and orange grove the fertile land is blessed with! . At Sahary camp (where @ecotrail_alula race briefing and finish line took place), luckily I didn’t have to go far to appreciate Al Ula’s splendid nature. The blue sky no weather forecast needed, the yellow sand I gathered in my running shoes and the red rocks with every interesting shape were part of the natural decoration. The red tent wasn't too odd after a few nights I curled under a blanket in the chilly nights - loving the Hejaz art motives interior wall. . Snap gazillion pictures, managed to pick a few...slide to see! Which one is your favourite? . Thanks for showing the hiking route @clint2408. Peek through the bird's eye view of Al Ula at his account 🚁 . . Despite a bit secluded from the town (hooray for serenity), buses provided from here to Winter Park and Elephant Rock if you opt for @winterattantora activities. #dune #desert #redrock #timeless 🇸🇦
Last Monday, my last night in the mountainous dese Last Monday, my last night in the mountainous desert landscape of Al Ula, Hejaz region of KSA. The elephant rock (down in the valley) which is popular to visit lit up in bright red. Sitting on the dune enjoying sunset sky changing colours in my layers of jackets (it can drop to 10 degrees at night 🥶 ). I still recalled the emotion of coming to KSA. The excitement was high on the list. . Been 10 years ago for Mecca & Medina visit but to come other than this purpose is something I’d never consider - despite at the back of my head, I knew how vast it's heritage and natural landscape can offer. The visa issue, can't travel as a solo woman, need sponsor, abaya rules - just didn’t fit my value and lifestyle. Instead, I focused on other places in the region when living in UAE - Oman, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon and Jordan (for visit, skiing and running of course). . What once a crossroads where Arabia, Africa, and Asia meet, and long tied by caravansary trade to Europe, KSA is only now slowly opening up to the world and at the same time slowly changing. My entry point before Al Ula was Jeddah - the melting pot, the welcoming, most open (not as strict as Riyadh I was told). . Thanks to the 10 minutes online visa process (USD 125 for one-year tourism visa multiple entries), and compulsory abaya no more for tourist (moderate clothing required), I came to see for myself. Took part in the @ecotrail_alula race (the first one in ME for this French organiser) was one of the many highlights and the main purpose for this trip. . The night of my race a concert by @officialyanni was held part of @winterattantora. There are many exciting activities before the UNESCO area shuts to public on 7th March (then to reopen in October). #invite . I can see myself going back to KSA. To explore many other distinctive regions and cultures. Plus, that winter weather suits me better than a humid tropical island! Swipe to see the changes colour of Arabian desert sky. Have I tempted you to visit? . #tranquility #openmind #solitude #embracethejourney 🇸🇦 📍Sahary Resort
Last Saturday what a great pleasure to race 83km i Last Saturday what a great pleasure to race 83km in @ecotrail_alula promoted by @asiatrailmaster. A land of awe inspiring beauty, with rock art surrounding that is simply exquisite. Beyond sport, it’s about eco-responsibility to respect and care of nature. And beyond sport, it’s the conviviality value that being felt here through runners I met and the welcoming people of Al Ula. Highly recommended, a fast-paced trail running (might be too flattish for you mountain goat who fancy the vert) but not too technical like other trail races in Oman and UAE😉. . Thank you for support on the road @thomasbrackmann @haiyan_mojo. Nice tailing you in first 30km @fabricelaborie @hejazultra. @couturiergael Thanks for checking on me even for a second up there in the mountain. Merci! . A big fan of @alexis_berg photography, this time I was the subject. #pinchme. #ecotrailalula #alula #trailrunning #sotgraces 🇸🇦 📷Alexis Berg REPOST First edition of @ecotrail_alula by @alexis_berg 🤩 #EcoTrail #EcoTrailInternational #WinteratTantora #WaT #WaTishappening #Timeless #AlUla #EcoTrailAlUla #EcoTrailInternational #SaudiArabia #trail #running #trailrunningcomestothecities
Yes, we need to take utmost precautionary measure Yes, we need to take utmost precautionary measure on this Wuhan 🦠. I saw more and more people wearing a mask on the busy street. Hand sanitizer a must carry (not just girly thing). One by one running events being cancelled in China and HK (such as Gaoligong by UTMB, The 9 Dragon and SCB Marathon). . Thought about China trip back in Nov. Got up for an early morning run. Warm enough with thermal and @uglowsport finisher jacket from MSIG Summits Mui Wo @thegreenrace race weeks before, but couldn't stand it in the end especially without🧤after few hours at the park (thanks to that cold water bottle). . Enjoyed seeing local did their thing like dancing despite chilly wind. This Temple of Heaven park is huge lined with old cypress trees - more than hundreds of years. Come before 9:30 am ahead hordes of tourist that crowded the Temple of Heaven. Well, till this ‘global emergency’ subside there won't be much travelling to China or even North & SE Asia -related 😩- will it? . Have a healthy weekend! #staysafecorona #thatbeijing #fridaymood #fridaymotivation 🇨🇳
“I cannot live without running. I get to see the “I cannot live without running. I get to see the sun rise over the hills. I am addicted to the beauty. I will run as long as my health allows. I’m like the sea, where the water flows and flows.

For whatever future behold for you - race or outside race, go get them! Best wishes and see you again. ⭐️ Blog post out now (link above) on New Year training camp @thailand.mountain.trail 🇹🇭 📷ekhman07
Your wings already exist. All you need to do is fl Your wings already exist. All you need to do is fly. . Hmong tribes as seen here (ancestors from Tibet and China) dwell in this area of Mon Ngo. Their women wear plain long-sleeved jackets with embroidered collar flaps over loose dark trousers. . Day 3 ended here with a camping site, only few minutes walk to this summit viewpoint. Awaiting sunset that showcased layer of Thailand mountains. The weekend is nice for you? . #thailandmountaintrail #fms_intheair #latergram #hmonghilltribe
