Travelling is good for the soul. Travelling brings about many realisations on top of invaluable experiences. Travelling is something that we all should do.

While it is common to save our annual leave and money for trips with our loved ones, travelling solo can also be interesting. We may be visiting the same places and sampling the same food as our friends, but because we view the world through different lenses, what’s significant to one may not have as profound an impact on someone else.

In the past two years, ladyironchef has evolved to more than just a food blog with restaurant reviews and F&B happenings; we have expanded to covering a lot more travel and lifestyle topics, bringing you comprehensive guides to the best things in life.

Many of you have written to me, asking for recommendations to popular holiday destinations in the region such as Bali, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Taipei and Seoul. There is so much I can share – down to every cafe and hotels. While I try my best to reply every single email, I thought it would be vital to do a comprehensive summary of all the related posts in this post – with links of our travel guides to almost 30 cities - so that whenever you are about to hop on an airplane, you know where to turn to for information that you might need.

I will be updating this list whenever there is a new guide, so do bookmark this page, or google ‘ladyironchef travel guide’ whenever you are planning a holiday.
