Do you know what special day it is today? It is shrove Tuesday, which is also known as pancake day. It is a tradition that almost everyone in England eats pancake on this special occasion, the reason for this is because it is the last day before Lent, a Christian festival leading up to easter. [...]
This time around we stayed in Radisson Hotel, instead of Mercure. I personally prefer this one, because it is very new, the furnishing was very modern and I love the colour, pink, orange and blue theme! The bed was king size, enough to fit 3 people, one of my friends sneaked in to stay a [...]
Good thing I made my friend book a place for our CNY dinner few weeks in advance, it was full house in Shanghai Night, a Chinese restaurant in Bristol. If you are living abroad in the UK, and is missing food back home big time, then this place is for you. According to several friends [...]

Anyone knows what that means?? Please enlighten me, cause I havnt got a clue. For those who don’t know, France is a [...]
One thing that frustrates me most working in England is having to be separated from all my friends after graduation. We are all based in a different area, either in the same company or a different company but at least 1-2 hours away by train. ArGgghh, frustrating! On CNY day, I travelled 2 hours to Bristol to [...]
Another oh-so-miserable chinese new year in England. Well, it is not that bad-lah, only the weather that is driving me mad! Not only the sky gets dark by 5pm, pitch black, not joking, plus, its so freezing cold. Eventhough I am going to be missing the proper chinese new year reunion dinner and celebration back [...]
Do you know how the hongkies enjoy new year cake (lin kou)? Unlike most of us that uses batter to fry lin kou either on its own, or with sweet potato, or simply just steam it and eat, they use eggs instead. I find it quite different, how about you? How do you have your [...]
Do you fancy a quick but filling meal? If yes, then this dish is for you. I call it the ‘lup lup farn’ because all ingredients are cut into tiny pieces. For this dish, you will need Chinese mushroom, dried scallops (yew chu), dried prawns (har mai), and a meat. Any meat is fine, I [...]
This is one of my favourite dishes, very tasty, and is easy to prepare. Only down side is the waiting time, is about 2 hours, the longer you cook it, the beef becomes more tender. I havn’t made this dish since I moved down to Torquay from Bath. Like I said, it is very difficult to find asian store [...]
