Paris, the City of Romance

Date December 7, 2007

Honey, what do you say if we go to Paris tomorrow? Ah, how I wish I can whisper these words to my husband on Sunday, our wedding anniversary. I would love to visit the city again, that has left me breathless because of it’s beauty, history..and of course, cuisine. My first visit was too short, […]

Thailand trip. Day 1

    ” TALES OF KITCHEN NOVICE ” Eet Smakelijk (dutch) means enjoy your meal, that’s what we usually say around the table before starting any meal. I am an Asian married to a dutch gentleman, residing in Holland. There is no way that I’m a good cook, in fact I only started to cook few years back, in the year 1999 actually, when I gave my ‘ja’ word to the dutch gentleman on our wedding day *smile*. Now I enjoy spending time in my kitchen especially when there’s something new to try, new to experiment. here....
