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’s for dinner? This is a series that I’m happy to do, almost real time with a few pics and a couple of instructions as my recipes are very simple. They appeal to my kids so I hope it will help…
Today I decided to do something* a bit different: HOSPITAL REVIEW! I happened to experience a stay at the hospital not long after I arrived in Zurich, in October 2014, so how about sharing how it was? Why did I go…
This is our first ever family ski holiday trip. We considered going to Thredbo or Perisher back when we were living in Australia but it was 6,000 AUD (4,300 euros) a week with little guarantee of snow, smaller slopes than…
Hi everyone! A bit of ranting today. I’m on holidays at a ski resort and we decided to explore the biggest ski field in Davos Klosters: Parsenn. You go up from the city center with a vertical train. It all…
Last week I spent 2 days with my 6 year old son in Paris. Just the two of us. I’ve never been inspired with what to do in Paris with kids. I’ve always found the city so kids unfriendly! I wasn’t…
We’ve been in Zurich for 6 months and quickly figured out skiing is the national sport here. Shops are closed on Sunday but as soon as you see a tiny weeny ray of sun, people rush to the slopes. In…
