A few years ago, I watched a very under rated movie called In Bruges. In the movie, two assassins are ordered to hide out in Bruges and await instructions for their next assignment. I enjoyed the movie because of its hilarious one liners and the witty banter between characters. And when we had the opportunity […]
I’ve always believed that food is a communal experience and there are definitely foods out there that require a few extra people for sharing. On this trip, Gloria and I were always opened to meeting new friends and I think there was no better time to do this than over rijsttafel. As a former colony […]
I didn’t know what to expect when it came to food in Amsterdam; to be honest, I didn’t do much research so I wasn’t sure what I should expect. I’ve learned that the best food does come with a little bit of exploring and Amsterdam was certainly a city that was easy to explore. After […]

Sadly, Google Reader you are leaving us in a few short months and I, like many others are now scrambling to find a replacement. […]
Chawanmushi! The first time I had this Japanese custard dish, I was in Kyoto and instantly loved it. Now, whenever I go to a seemingly authentic Japanese restaurant, I’ll try to find it on the menu. Its silky smooth texture and belly warming broth are symbolic traits of comfort food for me. After a trip […]
