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).

What I missed the most when I was not working for a big corporation was Christmas parties! The venue, gossips, food, offensive presents from Kris Kringle, dressing up, dancing, drinking, singing karaoke… and working from home the day after. Ah…
I’ve been doing that a lot lately. Back in Sydney I had 10 to 45 minutes commuting either on the train or on the bus, so that was how I cleared my morning emails and caught up with friends in the…
Lunch is one of my main drivers in life. Hence this blog and hence extreme work satisfaction when I joined the Asian food gang at eBay back in Sydney in 2007 😉 So what does it look like here in…
What’s the weather like in Oslo in November? People here in Oslo are very friendly. Locals and expats alike always ask how I’m settling in. When I tell them it’s been great they all say: “Wait until the winter comes”….
Last year we came back to Europe and found a bowling place near our home in Zurich with a great birthday package including 2 hours on a lane with “pillows” in the gutters, a cake and cordial drink. Our son…
