Here comes to the last month of December, London is now full of festive decorations, Xmas tree & lights. I am in love with London again! Last week we admired the seasonal illuminations lighting in Kew Garden, it was so festive and Kew Garden in dark was so beautiful, and it looked like a magical place. Especially the light show in Palm House which was stunning! I forgot how freezing I was and had a...
After going to Château de Versailles, we went back to city center to shop XD and had our early dinner. Again, we booked the table via TheFork. The restaurant was so cozy and silent, and we had a great meal there. I liked it so much as the environment was comfortable and we didn't need to be rush and that's was the best meal in this trip! We had the salmon tartare, duck breast &...
一想到已進入冬令時間，日照時間太短和寒風刺骨的天氣，我就......而此時此刻，英國人已忙著為聖誕節作出準備，百貨公司早早就擺滿了聖誕裝飾品、換上新的櫥窗擺設。為了分散天冷帶來的沉重感覺，我開始想到歐洲濃厚的聖誕節氣氛：想起了Bond Street的聖誕燈飾、Hyde Park的Winter Wonderland、London Eye的溜冰場、和Christmas Sales，好吧，其實能做的事也很多！ 聖誕燈飾 倫敦街頭如Oxford Circus、Regent Street、Sloane Square和Carnaby Street等的聖誕燈飾已預備好，並會在今個月陸續亮燈，讓4:30pm就入黑的街道都閃爍起來！ 聖誕市集 早在10月，各大百貨公司就已經擺滿了各款聖誕裝飾品，而倫敦各個聖誕市集已準備就緒！除了Hyde Park的Winter Wonderland外，在倫敦還有很多聖誕市集，如Southbank Winter Festival、Tate Modern的Christmas market、Leicester Square的市集等等。 倫敦戶外溜冰場 每逢冬天倫敦很多地方都會有溜冰場，如在London Eye的Eyeskate、Hyde Park、Crystal Palace、Canary Wharf、和Hampton Court Palace等地方。我曾試過在London Eye溜冰，真的，很有氣氛！但記得要預先上網訂票啊！ ...
I intend to cook something easier after making the roast pork belly, and luckily I can buy the fresh clams ( 100% they were from Billingsgate Market!), then I made a decision on cooking the spaghetti with clams and white wine sauce, it's easy! I added some spicy red pepper which enhanced the flavor as well. They are so tasty and I truly know what's the meaning of practice makes perfect now. 那天我在漁檔買到新鮮蜆，承惠£12 - 1Kg。讓我很懷念在Billingsgate...
It was not in my plan to visit Château de Versailles before I knew that my mom wanted to go. It was glad that I did enough shopping on the day before, so let's go! After having a proper Parisian breakfast ( I though it was!), then we took metro and transferred bus No. 171 from Pont de Sèvres and got off at the last station. It took us an hour to arrive the palace. We...
I made a HK style roast pork belly few days ago, which was very delicious and the pigskin was so crispy! The roast pork was not difficult to make it, only you had to pay attention to the time. Basically I followed the receipt from here: 脆皮燒肉【自家烤製】 Crispy Roast Pork Belly And she's right, after cooking this roast pork, we definitely have to clear the oven! ...
Located in Paris 15th distrct, the Maine-Montparnasse Tour is the 17th highest building in Europe, and you can admire the whole Paris at the top of this building, and this time I was so glad that we could have a dinner here! 90% of our bookings were made from TheFork, including Le Ciel De Paris at the 56th floor, TheFork is so convenient which we don't have to worry about the meal. If you don't want...
10月份正式踏入秋天，整個倫敦也充滿著秋天情懷，但對我來講現在已是冬天！ 這次不想離開倫敦，又想遠離城市生活，便去到位於Zone 2 的Hampstead富人區， 那裡有著濃厚的英式鄉村風味，街上兩旁有很多特色古董小店和咖啡店，附近的Parliament Hill 更可欣賞整個倫敦，在城市也可以漫活。 由電話亭改裝成為賣咖啡的地方 天啊！這所房子真的太可愛了！ 真的好想走入去看看 秋天（已去到即使有太陽也很冷的季節） ...
倫敦又到了風大雨大的秋季， 趁著有太陽的週末到Strawberry Hill郊遊，光聽名字就覺得很可愛。 那裡有St. Mary University， 大學旁邊有個哥德式的小城堡Strawberry Hill House， 小城堡的主人名字是Horace Walpole， 我大概知道他是英國首任首相的兒子，同時是個政治家和作家， 在夏天的時候他會從倫敦來到這小城堡渡假和寫作。 他的家在輾轉被買賣後最後成為文化遺產並翻新供人欣賞。 而城堡內很多房間的設計靈感來自於英國不同教堂如York Minister、Canterbury Cathedral和Westminster Abbey。 到底倫敦郊區有多少個Summer House.... Strawberry Hill屬於Zone 5，從Richmond坐火車約10分鐘，他遠離市區，是我喜歡的英式小鄉鎮(馬上再搜搜房屋價格 XD)。 有興趣的可以去看看--> Strawberry Hill House ...
剛過去的星期日去到Columbia Road Flower Market， 這個位於倫敦Brick Lane附近的market跟旺角花墟一樣人山人海， 可能去拍照的人比買花的人還要更多！ 10月份仍然有很多繡球花，3個£10，看見就讓人忍不住想買了！ 另一方面他們把很多已成乾花的繡球花掛在帳篷，很有聖誕節氣氛！好想要！ 除花和植物以外，market還有很多特色小店， 這次讓我發現原來平時會逛的茶具店入面有間Tea Room - Cake Hole。 他的蛋糕和cream tea也很不錯呢！ 由於market只在星期日的8am-2pm對外開放，想買花的人真的...要早點起床! 如果星期日會在倫敦旅行的人記得要去! 逛完後還可以到Brick Lane Sunday Up Market繼續買！:P ...
It was my first visit to Venice and I can feel the city of love apart from Paris. Everything was so romantic, and it was the first experience to take ferry all the time as only the river to connect the city. Also we went to Burano Island - one of the most colourful island in the world?! I thought I...
最近經常看肥媽的<<今個夏天食平D>>得到大量煮水靈感，又燃點起我的興趣，剛好雪櫃還有一大堆買回來但又未用過的材料，足夠煮一大煲的「西班牙辣肉腸意粉雜菜湯」讓我消化。 ...
I think we will go to Notting Hill at least twice a month, and the area is having a lot of lovely things to see! Especially the colourful houses, the Portobello Road Market to look for unique vintage pieces, pretty coffee shops to enjoy a cup of coffee and tempting street that you will take unlimited photos...etc. and you can always enjoy different performance there like singing. And don't forget to pop in...
