I have had a rather quiet but productive weekend simply because the internet was down since last Friday. I am still amazed how much stuff I’ve done around the house without the distractions from internet.

As promised, here is a video showing glimpses of Vietnam. Hard to fit 8 days in Vietnam into a 4 minutes video, and I also keep forgetting to take movies during the vacation, so this is the best I can do. Hope you enjoy it.

March 6, 2009

It is TGIF PLF – I called it the Pub Lunch Friday! The battered food, the amber liquid, and the extra hour long lunch relaxing in the beer courtyard soaking up the sun, what not to love about PLF?! Not to mention, the local hotel is only few paces down the hill from our place, [...]

It’s Mr P’s Birthday and I suggested to go somewhere nice for dinner to celebrate. He mentioned a decent restaurant around our area in Central Coast where they offering a 5 course degustation menu for $100 pp. I am like, “Are you kidding me?” I scorned in disbelief when I know I can pay a [...]

I had a big yum cha this afternoon, so I just simply threw some left over ingredients in the fridge and whisked up a antipasto pasto with grilled chicken. Something simple and tasty, grab a bowl, and a [...]
