Chandni Chowk - where the legacy of India's capital city comes alive, and the 'daulat ki chaat' is just one of them! 🤩 . If you're around in the winters, dont forget to head over to Khemchand's, a small street cart near Paranthewali galli, that happens to serve the lightest and fluffiest bowl of happiness. . On each cold foggy night, khemchand and his family HANDCHURN raw milk for OVER FIVE HOURS, until it becomes a giant container of froth! Saffron and cardomam are then added to this airy mixture, which is then served with crushed pistachios and a sprinkle of sugar at Rs. 50 for a small bowl 😋🤤 . This decades old business is just one of the many gems of Delhi's old city, and today, they even deliver this frothy goodness to households across the city 🥰 . . Stay tuned for more stories from India 😊 . . . . . . . . #CNTGiveitashot #streetfood #delhi #india #foodie #streeteats #chandnichowk #daulatkichaat #streetfoodsuperstars #indianfood #oldcity #olddelhi #theweekendexplorer
A view of the lush Sumatran rainforest from my room at @jungle_inn_bukit_lawang 🤩 Found this amazing guesthouse in the tiny tinyyy village of Bukit Lawang a few months ago, while on the trail of the great apes of Southeast Asia! . Massive rooms, rustic furniture, a hammock on the deck and a private waterfall, all on the outskirts of the jungle - need I say more? . Swipe right to say hi to the friendly staff member (and my new friend) Hasan, and see what the room was really like 😊 . . . . . . #jungleinn #bukitlawang #windowseat #sumatra #passionpassport #wonderfulindonesia #orangutan #northsumatra #potd #lpmi #lonelyplanet #jungle #jungleinnbukitlawang #exploreasia #asia #indonesia #telltnlindia #southeastasia #theweekendexplorer #forest #rainforest #offbeattravel #forest
The one dish that absolutely cannot be missed if you're planning a visit to the beautiful Shan state of Myanmar - BURMESE TOFU! 😋 And unlike regular tofu, it isn't even soy based!

Got a strong hit of nostalgia at the @mintmuseumoftoys which houses Southeast Asia's largest collection of vintage toys and comic character collectibles! Definitely felt like a journey back in time 🤩 . . This multistoreyed museum is what I'd call a hidden gem of the city - smack in the middle of town, yet so obscure. And what a massiveee collection of toys - from my favourite action heroes to the cutest comic characters, there were vintage toys from Brazil all the way to Japan, painstakingly collected by the owner over DECADES 🌍 . . Just one of the many unusual things to do in Singapore 😍 . . . . 📸: @advaitn . . . #singapore #mintmuseumoftoys #toys #vintage #thingstodoinsingapore #vintagetoys #nostalgia #collectibles #comics #childhood #photooftheday #singaporeoffbear . . . . . . #visitsingapore #gosingapore #things2doinsingapore #destinasian #telltnlindia #lonelyplanet #timeoutsg

A day at Southeast Asia's LARGEST (and the WORLD'S 2nd largest) aquarium! 🐠🦈🐡 Got touristy in my own city today, and it was just so much FUN exploring it like a visitor 😍 . . . 📸: being childish with my Manta Ray headband, because why not 😂 taken by @advaitn . . . Fyi, this aquarium is said to have the world's biggest collection of Manta Rays . . . . . . #seaaquarium #rws #sentosa #singapore #tourist #aquarium #theweekendexplorer #touristingaround #exploremore #potd #exploreyourcity #marinelife #sentosaisland #fun #exploring #travel #photooftheday
