Hofex 2013

This is my first time at a culinary event like Hofex.  This event is the largest of its kind and only occurs once every two years, so I made sure I took the opportunity to visit it while I am currently in Hong Kong.  This was truly an experience I wouldn’t have wanted to miss, […]

A short break…

I would like to apologize for my silence these past few weeks.  My father had complications with his health and he was admitted to the hospital for surgery.  I have been spending every day next to him; he is recovering well and is now back at home.  I will be adding more content soon! Thank […]

McDonalds Really Is Universal

I don’t remember when I first found out that every McDonalds carries a local burger or something on the menu that is only catered to that particular country.  Since the day I found out I have sort of made it my mission to try as many as I can whenever I travel.  Sometimes I forget […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Lunchtime

For a foodie like me, whenever I look at the Weekly Photo Challenge I always hope I can do something with food.  As my blog is about cooking and eating, mostly, this was the first week that the theme fit so perfectly.  Lunchtime has to be one of my favorite meals of the day.  It […]

Gimme Mah Ribs!

I am always on the lookout for new good ribs places.  Living in Orange County gives me a lot of access to good ol’ American food.  Believe it or not, finding a place to chow down on some ribs isn’t too easy.  When a friend of mine introduced me to The Tulsa Rib Company I […]

Kit Kat Attack

From time to time, there are certain brands of snack that manufacture many different flavors of one particular product to suit the tastes and demands of a city or country.  This will be a first of many series that I will post when I am able to collect a variety of interesting collections of snacks.

During my stay in Chiang Mai I decided to start one of my days with hard-boiled eggs at the Sankhampang hot springs.  Take a look at this relaxing experience.

Daily Prompt: Places

When I saw this theme “places” so many ideas jumped to my mind.  I have traveled the world quite a bit and thought maybe I should show my favorite places.  However, having spent the past 7 months in Hong Kong after being away for 12 years has made me open my eyes to the beauty […]
