On Sunday the snow had melted overnight but the sun was out. We thought sunshine would provide the best first ski experience for the kids. We are new in town, we didn’t really know where to go, so we looked…

I’m Thien Lan and like your typical Asian girl you can’t start a meal before I’ve had a picture of each dish! Sounds familiar? Well it’s now for you to enjoy and discover new yummy restaurants around Zurich.
I’m a Parisian born Vietnamese who arrived in Zurich, Switzerland last August after having spent 11 years of my life in Sydney, Australia. I’m married to a French man and lots of my friends are in France so you’ll also see reviews of restaurants there.
In fact you’d call me a woman rather than a girl as I’m on the other side of the mid thirties and am a mum! So unlike other food blogs like therealpickygourmet.com written by what it seems like a bachelor with a great sense of humour (love the analogy between “vegetarism” and sex with a condom), you will also find kids friendly places in here. I might also expand log posts beyond food with some thoughts about parenting, home decor, fashion, and perhaps music (well I play Singstar, Rock band and some piano).
Happy New Year everyone! And with the new year come your 2015 resolutions. 2014 with its lot of changes, disappointments and moments of joy, helped me prioritise and listen to my heart and my body. HEALTH 2014 learnings: 30 day abs…
During that week end in Burgundy where we were piling up the Michelin stars, we went wine tasting. Just to be clear, Manu and my friends enjoyed the wine tasting, whilst I volunteered to be on babysitter duty (so I…
It’s finally snowing in Zurich!!! Can’t help but write my first fashion post as I’ve been enjoying these so much since I arrived in Zurich. As a farewell gift when I left Sydney, I received a pair of Ugg boots…
Last month, we stacked up a total of 5 Michelin stars in 2 days! To warm up for the 3 star La Lameloise the next day, we started our week-end with the 2 Michelin Star Chapeau Rouge on the Friday…
Lately we’ve been so busy we didn’t eat out as much but cooked instead. It’s also because they had a promotion a Denner (budget grocery chain) where you could buy your Highway Toll annual pass for 35 Fr instead of…
Having spent 11 years of my life in Sydney, and being now in Switzerland, home to Lindt & Sprungli, I couldn’t help but pay tribute to what happened in Sydney earlier this week. It’s especially close to my heart as…
Asiaway is THE way! The name is not as appealing as “Saigon” or something related to Vietnam, but when we discovered it, we were totally sold! We love it so much we recommend to everyone, whether you are familiar or…
Coudn’t wait next Thursday to post a new review. I’m so thrilled about the 90ish visit I got so far that I’m going to post one for the local now. If you know Dubendorf, you can’t miss the big yellow…
I’m officially launching this new blog full of restaurant reviews today. It’s going to be updated with a new review every Thursday so you can go and try those places on the week-end! Let’s start with the third 3 Michelin…
