I was meaning to post this picture but I forgot…so here it is~ Hope everyone had a nice Easter break! We all agree that this was an absolutely horrendous rendition of cute Dora wasn’t it? Whoever came up with this probably shouldn’t design children’s anything anymore. Eye-popping Dora is NOT kid-friendly.
Ever since I saw the picture of the Bloomin’ Onion on The Outback Steakhouse‘s menu in Hong Kong many years ago, I’ve always wanted to try it. It just looked so pretty. Now many years after, I finally had the chance. This was during another one of my trips down to the States. It was […]

I picked Granville Room […]

The owner bakes the cheesecakes herself and it is one of the most flavorful cheesecakes I’ve ever tasted, even better than Cheesecake, Etc. Boyfriend bought me three slices as a surprise. A […]
