My Rocking Cradle

The last time (and the first time) I had eaten Peking Duck was in Beijing… and that was almost four years ago! So, it was a pleasant surprise that the set menu that hubby chose for our New Year’s eve dinner at the Choi Palace in Eastwood included a Peking Duck served 2-ways. The skin was [...]

Can you imagine a burger costing over 5 million won? Here’s one for you from Itaewon’s All American Diner: The menu lists it as: GUT Busterger 5000                                   5,630,000-won You can laugh or you can smirk. Your choice:-).

Firstborn loves ice cream. Any kid who doesn’t? Secondborn loves whatever Firstborn loves. My dilemma is, the individually sold ice cream cones are too big for my Secondborn. I tried to help him finish one but he threw into a fit. I finally found the answer: Mini cones! It’s small. Just right for my eighteen [...]

My son loves it when we have visitors. He has been asking lately when will we have visitors again in the house. And so I invited a few friends over for bonding and cooking. With invited friends around, my Firstborn and I baked Chocolate Zucchini Cake this afternoon.This one’s frosted with a mixture of milk [...]

  Possam is one Korean dish I love! The steamed pork is soft and delicious. Wrap it with kimchi and you got a perfect combination to make you crave for more. The first time I ate this dish was on a night out with Korean girl friends. Trust the natives to introduce the bests of Korea:-).
