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).

This restaurant review is for the locals. I’m sure you’ve been shopping in Dietlikon at the big Coop supermarket (which is our absolute favourite because of their French lay-out and scan system), Ikea, H&M, Jumbo or Toys R Us. Maybe you’ve even been…
Happy Monday everyone. Given the success of my Career Post, here’s another one where Christine Knight shares how how she made a move both professionally and geographically when she had a baby. Christine is an Aussie like minded friend: passionate about…
Date lunches are back! We originally planned to use our Groupon deal at Chez Brigitte but when we rang to book we had a voicemail message suggesting they were closed and their website is down too… So, plan B. One…
I’m always on the look out for Asian restaurants near me so I went to try Kang-In in Dubendorf. Very hard to find: they don’t have a big sign post at the top of the building. I drive by almost…
2015 New year’s resolution: Career As a family we already knew that we would leave Australia to go back to Europe where ou family is, where our kids and parents could enjoy each other company more and where my parents…
