Continue reading →: Chop Suey Cafe + Evening of Chatter
It’s become somewhat of a habit to bring my out of town guests to Chop Suey Cafe, especially those familiar with westernized Chinese food, from their years of living overseas/ordering Chinese take out :). My Father (aka the Chef) may disagree with the quality of the food vs the price,…

Another quick ‘zip in and out’ work trip to Bangkok this week. Being the monsoon season, we got caught in few showers and drizzles but considering office- hotel etc, are all in the same vicinity, it doesn’t create much of an hassle. Furthermore, the cooling air was a nice respite…

The lovely B&B that we stayed in Hualien was in Jiamin village, perch on a mountain with a gorgeous view of Hualien County and if you look far enough – you’ll see the waves crashing against the majestic rocks that lines Qixingtan- right from their doorstep. I wasn’t lucky enough…

Going down as one of my main highlight of 2017 and a lifetime rememberance was mixing fun with work on a trip to Taiwan, which I bought my 86 year old Grandma along with me. We headed to Hualien for the weekend, with the aim to catch the last few…

This post is dedicated to all those hot-tempered, angsty, neurotically-challenged (occasionally) and huge- hearted souls in my life.

The last circus that I watched was ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ by the Ringling Bros. Circus in Madison Square Garden in the late 80s. Years onward, the only word/meaning that I would associate ‘circus act’ to (minus the props, professional performers, outlandish theatrics and awesome acrobats; replaced by the…

I’ve been feeling slightly under the weather the last few days and thought a little boost and reminder of the things that brings a smile to my face – hopefully jotting it down now, will spark off all the happy reactors in my messy, wired-up brain 🙂 The turkish breakfast…

My not-so-little-(silly)- munchkins. Gone are the days of playing barbies, choosing their clothes, playground dates and all those stuff little girls are made off. Nowadays, these two are drinking alcoholic drinks with me and sharing the highs and lows of their ‘young-adult’ life (boys, boys, and more boys). They sure…
