The Facts Behind Cheese

It’s so bitter sweet! I am at the last stop on my 20 day vacation in Europe: Amsterdam. Now, before I get into the food, I want to say that the capital of the Netherlands is probably one of the most diverse cities I have visited. There are almost as many canals in Amsterdam as…

Seriously, Ramen…………In Czech Republic?

“Ok everyone, where do you want to go for dinner tonight?” I say. “How about ramen?” replies my cousin Christina (CC), a fan of Asian food. “But, maybe we should try something more Czech-ish. I mean, we’ve already had ramen twice and Vietnamese cuisine once,” I try to explain. “We should still get ramen,” CC…

Great Market Hall Has It All

Hello from Europe! Vienna, Austria to be exact. A few days ago (in Hungary), I visited this amazing destination along the Danube River. This location just so happened to be the well known supermarket known as Great Market Hall. I know I gave a lot of kudos to the Borough Market in London, but after…

It May not Taste Like Home, But It’s Still Great

I don’t know if I shared this last time I did a camping post, but every year, my Uncle and Aunty have a cousin camping trip (me, Sophie, Christina, Amanda, Luke) This time, we decided to go to Angel Island instead of Point Reyes. Besides all the hikes and games that we do when camping,…

Mother’s Day Magnifioso

First of all, I hope all of you had a great Mother’s Day (mother or not)! In my family, everyone except the moms makes breakfast, lunch, or dinner to give them a break. I don’t know if you think this, but my opinion is that moms are one of the hardest working people out there….

Triple B for the Dub

I know burgers are good, but have you ever thought of substituting that tasty patty for a handmade veggie burger? I didn’t like the idea myself in the beginning, but I soon changed my mind when I bit into a wonderful black bean onion burger. Let me tell you, it tastes like healthy mashed potatoes…

Hot? Try These.

Man, what a hot week it has been. I mean, yesterday I think the sun stayed out till 8:45 P.M and guess what, it was still decently hot! Not saying that my first go to option is food when I am hot, but I would like to share some tasty foods that might cool you…

Originated from Taipei….. Din Tai Fung!

I’m guessing that a lot of you LOVE dumplings. If so, then take one night off and try Din Tai Fung, a famous Chinese dumpling house with exceptionally superb dishes. After you exit this fine Asian style restaurant, you’ll never want to try P.F Chang or Panda Express EVER again.  Actually, you probably don’t want…

Ice Monster (Really Is!)

Just think of the words ‘Ice Monster’ while closing your eyes. What images come to mind? Maybe a giant brick of ice carved into a statue of a monster? Who knows? If you looked at my last post, the hint is at the bottom. What is the place I visited known for? Very hot weather! Hmm,…
