Otherwise known as Ais Kacang or ABC (Air Batu Campur), ice kacang is a popular local dessert consisting of shaved ice topped with Gula Melaka syrup or coloured syrup, toasted peanuts and evaporated milk. The colourful ingredients that are placed into a bowl are typically cendol, red beans, creamed corns and grass jelly cut into strands or cubes. Depending on the stall and outlet, a scoop of ice cream is also added atop the shaved ice to complete the tantalising experience of your sweet taste buds. Perfect to cool your body down during scorching hot weather! #MalaysiaTrulyAsia #TourismMalaysia http://www.malaysia.travel http://facebook.malaysia.travel http://twitter.malaysia.travel http://instagram.malaysia.travel

In Rome, you ll rub elbows with religious pilgrims from around the world. A major stop on the pilgrimage trail is San Giovanni in Laterano, the first Christian church in the city of Rome.

Patong Beach, located on the coastline of Phuket, is the place to go for a lively vacation that doesn’t slow down just because the sun sets. By day, Patong Beach is a spectacular place to both immerse yourself in stunning natural landscapes and explore a vibrant city. As it features developed land and remarkably beautiful waters and jungles, a Patong Beach tour truly offers the best of both worlds. Go walking or running on the white sandy beaches, or splash into the turquoise Andaman Sea. Rent diving equipment to check out the coastal reefs, or hire a small boat to do some fishing. Be sure to allot at least one day to reclining on the beach, watching the sun drift by from beneath an umbrella. Once you go inland, however, your Patong Beach sightseeing shifts away from the pristine natural territory and into the pulsing nightlife of a city that never sleeps. The streets are jammed with bars, restaurants, and dance clubs, and you can find some serious bargains in the shopping and market districts. No matter what time of year you visit, you’ll run into travelers from around the world who have come to enjoy the magic and mystery that Patong Beach offers. What will you do in Patong Beach? Visit our Patong Beach travel guide page for more information or to plan your next vacation! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Expedia Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/expedia Instagram: http://instagram.com/expedia Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/Expedia/ Google+: https://plus.google.com/+Expedia -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on our travel blog, Viewfinder: http://viewfinder.expedia.com/
