Butchers Club Southside Markets - Long Lunch

On a Sunday morning, still a bit drowsy, I got a phone call asking if I was down for an event with food. Lots of food. I was suddenly wide awake and replied with a loud and clear yes. (Really, who would say no to unlimited food?) I got myself ready as fast as a typhoon raging through the streets of Hong Kong and dashed off to “over the water”.

Greek yogurt lemon cake with poppy seeds

I decided to bake a cake on this lazy Sunday. When summer is here I always crave for citric fruits. They are so refreshing and makes my apartment smell wonderful.

This recipe is based on a quatre quarts cake, for a summer-y touch I added lemon to it. The Greek yogurt will make it more moist.

Paprika soup

Hi guys! I bought too many veggies at the market (never get groceries on an empty stomach) and it was taking forever to eat everything. So I decided to make paprika soup. The perfect solution when you have leftover food.

Weekend Crèpes

Happy Saturday everyone! It's quite chilly today and what is better than lounging in your sofa, covered by a fleece blanket and surrounded by millions of cushions? Crèpes and hot cocoa perhaps?
These delicious flat disks are so easy to make, I've been making them since I was a child. My favourite topping is dark brown sugar. What about you, what is your favourite topping?

Apple pie

Merry Christmas everyone!

When you say Christmas, the first thing that comes to mind is apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and a mug of hot cocoa with a dollop of crème fraiche. Cue scene of Homer drooling while thinking food.

It’s the first year that I’m spending Christmas in Hong Kong. I spent it with awesome company and an overload of delicious food. My friends and I organised a dinner party and my contribution was an apple pie and a simple quatre quarts cake.

Christmas and apple pie, oh yeah!

Travel 001 | Hua Hin

Sawadeeka! It’s the first time I went to Thailand and boy, I finally get why everyone loves Thailand so much! We drove straight to Hua Hin after we landed in Bangkok. It was a three and a half-hour drive, that’s mostly spent in traffic jams After a 3.5 hour drive we arrived at the hotel.

We spent the mornings next to the pool and in the afternoons we explored the city. I have many firsts during this trip: First time I had green curry (and it’s delish), first time I saw monkeys (they were cute and scary at the same time, first time I went into a cave (so beautiful!), first time I saw so many cables above my head (what if you have to find that “one” cable?!), first time I saw so many temples in one town, first time I had such cheap seafood! Just reminiscing makes me really miss Hua Hin right now….
