Delicious breakfast of Taylor Street Coffee Shop @ San Francisco, USA

We had our breakfast at Taylor Street Coffee Shop due to near proximity from our hostel. The little coffee shop also gets quite crowded and a line forms outside the shop if you gets a bit late for breakfast. That's shows that this shop must be serving good breakfast. Coming to San Francisco without trying a good breakfast is something missing. The shop is quite small. Do come early for breakfast to beat the queue. We were lucky no need to queue as we reached here around 8.30am.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Do order their Millionaire's bacon as it is unique compared to other bacon that you had in USA. The bacon is thick and have slight tint of spiciness which makes the bacon sweet, spicy and tasty. The egg benedict with bacon and mushroom were a good combination as well).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. The price for our breakfast were reasonable by San Francisco standard as everything in San Francisco is expensive. Two person with the food shown below were less than USD40.00. The portion were big and we are able to skip our lunch by having the breakfast here).




Scramble eggs with Millionaire's bacon. Consist of toast, salad, bacon and eggs.

Amazing tall trees at Muir Woods National Monument @ Mill Valley, California

Visited Muir Woods National Monument as part of the Dylan's Famous Tour of San Francisco. The park was beautiful and its quite crowded. The main objective to come here is to watch the amazing redwood trees which was absolutely tall and beautiful. As time is quite limited as we only have 1 hour, we only manage to walk the main trail which was wonderful. Initially we thought of going to Yosemite National Park but as our time in San Francisco is quite limited, we took the city tour with Muir Woods as part of the itinerary instead. Muir Woods trails are easy to walk as its flat and if you like photography, there are much photo opportunity here. Enjoy the photos that I took when visiting Muir Woods in Sep 2014. The weather at that time were good with temperature of around 15 C.


Welcome to Muir Woods National Monument.

Huge tall trees.


As you walk deeper, the air was so refreshing and cooler temperature. Tall trees meaning multiple layers of canopy which blocks of sunlight from reaching the ground.

Beautiful Istanbul scenery from Bosphorus Cruise @ Istanbul, Turkey

The Bosphorus connects the Black sea to the Marmara sea. The length is around 30 kilometres. By taking the Bosphorus cruise, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Istanbul on both sides of Asian and European side. On European side, you can have the view of beautiful waterside residences. The Bosphorus is the unique strategic waterway which connects the two continents Europe and Asia, so it is a bridge between European and Asian Sides that makes Istanbul unique.
