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.

Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque

I’m using Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque (phew that’s a mouthful) for a few months now and I really do believe it keeps my skin from breaking out. I have acne prone skin and living in a dirty, humid metropolis doesn’t help. It broke out very badly during the last quarter of 2013. I did some resource on the internet and found out that clay masks are a good tool to combat the never ending battle with bad skin.

Travel 002 | A weekend in Bangkok

 
Sawadeeka! I’m back again to continue my Thai travel story. Our trip to Thailand is coming to and end. We drove back to Bangkok on the fourth day. Bye bye relaxing swimming pool, hello traffic jams. I have heard about the infamous traffic jams in Bangkok, but it’s the first time experiencing it. When we were nearing to our hotel. It was literally so close, yet so far away. For a moment I was thinking we should just walk out of the car and cross the street. Which means we will get there in less than five minutes. However it took us literally one hour to get there by car.

Cinnamon Rolls with Pecan Nuts

Hi everyone! I know I went AWOL in February, it was a crazy month at work.

Anyway, I’m back with a recipe for cinnamon rolls with pecan nuts. Nuts are quite expensive in Hong Kong and it’s not easy to find a big variety of them. However, my friend introduced me to this tiny shop in Sheung Wan where they sell all kinds of nuts: pecan nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts,...etc. they even have dried fruits like cranberry and occasionally they have dried figs.
