There's [always] something about food
I have a craving for fried beef hor fun at the moment. I would have gone out to the Apium Noodle Bar, which is within walking distance of the office and serves good beef hor fun, but it’s an utterly miserable day - grey and rainy. Last night my dad popped over to my office for Bar Night which was rather redundant because he doesn’t really drink. We hung around for about 30 minutes and...
Feel good food
Macaroons from Ladurée are the best! The perfect feel good food when you’re feeling absolutely crappy! I bought 32 of these little bite sized pieces of heaven when I was in Paris. I should have bought more since I do still have Euros left over! Ladurée
Where'd the sun go?
Sometimes it’s really difficult to remember that the sun will rise the next day, whether it’s at 5 in the morning or 9, and darkness isn’t forever.

My next trip was just a year later because my dad loved Paris and there’s so much to see in so little time. Paris...
Four Seasons - give the Bayswater branch a...
My friend EL raves about the roast duck at the Bayswater branch of Four Seasons. We went there for dinner tonight, a table of 7 of us. Service was so bad we just decided that the duck wasn’t worth it. We all arrived at different times, and though EL made a reservation, not only we were not given a table, but we were pushed and shoved around by the staff as well as other patrons because we...
finally - food actually tastes good
I haven’t been eating much since I fell sick. Everything tasted like cardboard and I was too tired to make anything so it was only mushroom soup from Heinz (2 thumbs down) and chicken soup from M&S (1 thumb down) and mushroom risotto soup (1 thumb down). Finally I’m eating something that I can taste and enjoy! Gao choi jeen har. Was feeling really bored today coz I’ve been...
