Not all desserts are complicated to make. Sometimes, I like to indulge myself in simple desserts. I have been learning about French food for quite a while now and I feel that there are so many things that I have eaten but have never tried making at home. Yes, I am not a very dessert person (I mean I can survive without desserts) but I certainly do have a my favourite list if you were to ask what I like and don’t.   One... 

  Fish and chips! There is nothing more British than fish and chips! It is the national dish! Fillets of haddock or cod are mostly used, are covered in batter and deep fried until golden brown. Fish and chips is a popular takeaway food which originated in the United Kingdom. It consists of deep fried fish, served with freshly chipped potatoes.   Britain’s favourite accompaniment to fish and chips is salt and...

So, I mentioned in my last post that I was in New York City. I was a little jet-lagged that I slept so much over the weekend. This week, I still feel tired. It doesn’t help when at work is another busy week!   It was just a 5D 4N short stay in NYC but an amazing trip! Yes, it was my first time to NYC, believe it or not.  So, there was so much to do and to see. I think it was just ideal to have decided a 5-day... 

  I have been on vacation. Got back two days ago and was slightly jet-lagged! We were in NYC. Even though it was just for a short stay but it was overall really good! NYC is such a buzzing city! Well, before I got too excited and go into more details, I thought I would share with you guys about my trip in my next post with some photos that I took!   It snowed on the days we left NYC. It reminds me the snow storm in...
