Just in time for Myanmar trip next week – This #WeEatWorld by my friend @nycars shows the magical view that puts Bagan on my "must visit" list. Follow @nycars for awesome – and punny – cars! As for the caption, i'll keep it true to @nycars' words: "It's taken while travelling in a hot air balloon over Bagan, which is located in central Myanmar along the Ayeyarwady River. I would love to see a hot air balloon chase in a movie one day, it would take around 5 hours. But there's certainly something very peaceful about drifting with no sound as the sun rises over this incredible place. The large structure is the Sulamani Temple, built in 11th century and one of around 3000 temples in the area. The puff was Myanmar street food, and was filled with peanut and sugar and was quite disgusting. My tip, avoid eating dubious street food before getting on a hot air balloon. Please enjoy, and please go visit Bagan. It's incredible." (I'll still try the street food tho :P)

🇵🇱🥖🍅🧀 Zapiekanka at Plac Nowy in Kazimierz, the jewish quarter of Krakow, Poland. It is a long french bread with insane amount of topping, baked in the oven until the bread is crispy and the cheese has melted, then topped with sauces and fresh vegetable ingredients depending on what type of sandwich you choose – popular ones are greek, hawaiian, etc. Reminds me of pizza 😋. It makes sense that the name comes from polish verb "zapiekac" which means to bake. Zapiekanka started out in the 70s during communism period in Poland, as it was very cheap, tasty and easy to make. Even today, it remained very cheap – I got this for 8 zloty which is $2.30. Zapiekanka in Plac Nowy is so popular during dinner time that I had to wait 30 mins to get one. Everyone there was either ordering their Zapiekanka, waiting for one or eating one while sitting down on the sidewalk. It's a tradition, I've been told. The one I got is the Greek variation because I love olives, and honestly? I was a bit skeptical at first but this was seriously life changing. A++ would recommend.

🇫🇷 Day 2 of #TastyTravels with @hotelsdotcom in Paris! There are so much good pastry here that I've literally been eating them all day. I was so jetlagged last night that I passed out before the sun even set (which is like at 11pm here!) and consequently woke up very early at 4am. So I took the first metro at 5:45am to Eiffel Tower for sunrise. I arrived at 6am and the place was EMPTY! well, except for couples shooting their bridal photos. And of course I brought my macarons… for breakfast 😂! These are from Pierre Hermé, a crowd's favorite when it comes to macarons in Paris. I got the Rose, Ispahan and Jasmine flavor, also Jardin Andalou (not pictured but it's mandarin orange and raspberry). surprisingly Jasmine was my favorite even though I tend to not like flowery fragrant flavors, but this one was perfect! What I like the most about Pierre Hermé is that the taste of their pastries are not too overwhelmingly sweet. A must try when you are in Paris. #shotoniphone8plus #shotoniphone #eiffel #paris #macaron #pierrehermé #pierreherme #GirlEatParis

🇩🇪 It's my second time in Berlin and I've been enjoying the city by doing things I didn't have time for last time. I went to visit Potsdam on Monday, a quiet city just an hour train ride away from Berlin. But my tip for this place is to not go on Monday or Tuesday as many of the attractions are closed on those days 😢. I still enjoyed a nice walk around the city though – visited some museums and ate strawberries by the river. In Potsdam, they have a small Bradenburg gate similar to that of Berlin! The two sides are designed by two different architects. Carl von Gontard designed the city side and his student Georg Christian Unger designed the countryside-facing side. I'm flying to Budapest next! comment below and recommend me what to eat 😋🍽
