Here I am again! Back in Hawaii. First of all, I hope all of you had a fantastic April Fools Day and Easter. Where I am at in Honolulu, nothing can be better! As a special Easter holiday brunch, my grandmother’s local club hosted a brunch with enough food to feed a whole city. Trust…

From Food To Fun
Man, I didn’t know how fun it could be put together a 1,000 piece food puzzle… One afternoon in Hawaii, I was looking for my unfinished Lego when I stumbled across this detailed donut puzzle. I have done these types of puzzles before, but not in a long time. Intrigued, I pulled it out and…
Is It Just Me Or Am I Noticing Things?
Now that I am back from my trip in Europe (Prague, Amsterdam, Vienna, Salzburg, and Budapest), I thought of some food related things that really stood out to me in these five cities. Some of these observations are soon-to-be habits that I want to develop at home, but others are just basic parts of European…
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,…
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,…
Look, it’s Jook!
Ever looking for a Chinese dish that also has many mouth watering toppings? Jook is the answer. My family and I eat rice as our main carb because we are Chinese. Jook, a Chinese classic with a mixture of rice, chicken broth, and many other spices, is one of our favorite Chinese dinners. It’s very…
