About Us

Welcome and thank you for supporting PlacesAndFoods.comPlacesAndFoods.com is primarily a combination of travel and food blog. We (Wilson Ng & Rachel Ting) enjoy sharing our passion as we travel locally and also internationally.  We enjoy exploring new places and also seeing new things as we travel. Personally, I had been sponsored to Thailand by Tourism Authority of Thailand for food and travel reviews since September 2009 and also to Argentina for a 4×4 Expedition for 4 weeks. I’m also recently selected as one of 12 finalists of Thailand Medical Blog Contest and also invited for a 9 days tour to Victoria courtesy of Tourism Victoria and Tourism Australia. In addition, We work hand with hand with Tourism Boards such as Tourism Authority of Thailand, Tourism Philippines, Tourism Victoria, Tourism Australia, Tourism Malaysia, Tourism Malaysia Perlis and Singapore Tourism Board to promote their destinations as well as their hotels and resorts. We also work closely with travel agents, travel magazines, telcos and hotel chains for promotions. We also offer services such as hotel, resort and spa reviews. 

PlacesAndFoods.com is also a food blog. We had many food reviews invitation in the past. However, due to our work and our personal commitments, we decided to slow down on our food reviews. Up to date, we have done more than 200+ food reviews in both locally and internationally.

    Hi there Wilson,

    How are you doing? First up Happy New Year!

    We met at the recent Formula Drift Malaysia at Serdang’s MAEPS, u remember?

    Anyways, just wanted to drop a note after visiting your interesting blog. Let’s keep in touch and possibly work together on future Automotive and Motorsports (if you are going into these circles).

    By the way, for places to eat or visit I’d need your recommendations of course…

    Cheers.

    Hi Wilson,

    My name is Kathleen and Im a PR Consultant with FacadePR. I would like to send an invitation to you for a Restaurant Launch at Desa Sri Hartamas the latest eatery to hit Kuala Lumpur. Its called SAMSARAA.

I am ‘lone ranger’ backpacker and have been backpacked to South East Asia, East Asia, Central Asia, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Mexico, Europe (except Serbia, Baltic States & Scadinavia).

    I’m sure that there will be private tour companies offering Patagonia trip in Argentina but it’s going to be very expensive. Traveling on our own with 4x4WorldExplorer.com is not cheap either. We filled up the cars everyday and its more than RM 100+ per day, just on petrol. That’s exclusive some of the hotels we stayed in certain places. Towns like Bariloche and San Martin would cost a bomb in lodging. I will be spreading the Patagonia stories in details here, please do come back often as there are more to come. I update my blog almost daily and thanks for reading.

    Hi Dillon,

    We are not full time blogger. We are just doing it for our passion and our love for traveling. Not all our trips are paid for or sponsored. It depends on projects and campaigns.
