Hello Hong kong

Food in Amsterdam

If you know me personally, yummy food is one of my top priority regardless where i am. Did a research on Amsterdam, and boy, too many. I only managed to try out a few. Sad but well, i want to go back!

Seriously this is my favorite food in Amsterdam. This is smoke herring fish. If you love smoke fish, pls remember to try this. If i ever go back, this is my first choice. If you ever go to Amsterdam, pls remember to try this. I tried 2 different stores. One was too salty, so try more to get the right one for you. It is so Gooood.

Stroopwafel. It was freshly made. We tried a few stores as well. The best one is the one outside the Rijksmuseum. If you happen to see the store in the picture, try it. no regret there.

 

 We walked pass this meat-selling store that was really crowded. Since we are there, we tried their food. Well, it is just normal and a bit dry. Personally, i think i wasted my calories on it. 

Vlaamse Frites. The store i tried was Manneken Pis. They are actually fries but in different texture i think. I love potatoes, so maybe i am bias when i think they taste wonderful. 

 

And cheese!!! I love cheese. Haha. Amsterdam cheeses seems to be milder or should i say less smell compare to others. But i might be wrong as i did not taste so much to conclude. Let me try more. The reason for this is to remind myself, i like the cheese i had in Amsterdam. 

These are not all the food I had ate. There were actually much much more but I realised i did not take photos of them. Like the fried food vending machine (I like it because it is fried food plus vending machine), different kinds of waffles and pancakes, sandwiches (I love the beef tartar sandwich), Heineken and etc. I don't know why no photo was taken. And now, I only have myself to blame. =_=

Christmas is around the corner

With all the feasting, i bought a new kicks, hoping to burn away some fats. Pretty Cool, huh?

 

C had flowers delivered to my house on our 10th Dating Anniversary. Roses and Lilies. I really love how flowers can immediately brighten up a place. Me being me, i separate the roses and lilies and put them into the vase. I need to learn how to love mix and match.

 

 In 1 more week, I am going Hong Kong for a short Holiday with my family. With me going Hong Kong a few times each year, maybe i should start doing a Hong Kong guide book. But so many times I forgot what i did there.

Did some research recently on the cafe in Hong Kong, it is getting more and more popular for theme cafe.  Maybe I should plan a trip just for cafe hopping.

Oh and i am feasting tonight! Whee~~~ Buffet dinner here I come. =)

Bad Day - Daniel Powter

Totally my mood today. Love the MV. This song somehow soothe me. I don't know is it the lyric, the tune or both. =)

Amsterdam Day 2

We did not want to rush during our time in Amsterdam, so we woke up quite late. Enough sleep is very important for me. I play harder after a good sleep. =)  After a good night sleep, breakfast is of course super needed. Our breakfast destination is Albert Cuyp Market. It will be the best place to have their local delights and Fruits! I've heard their oranges and strawberries are really really really good.

 

The entrance to the market. Most people are on their bikes which is really convenient for them. As I mention earlier, the bicycle track are all around Amsterdam. I actually love this idea, but i doubt we can do it in Singapore, or can we? 

Along the market. I love it. I don't know what's not to like in this. Even the weather is good for outdoor market. I love the food, the atmosphere, the people, etc.

I love love this. So pretty. If only i stay in Amsterdam, I will buy them every week. How nice. One can only wish. =(

What is Holland famous for? Windmill!!! Since we don't have much time in Amsterdam, we went to the nearby Windmill, cater for tourist I believe. Zaanse Schans is very near Amsterdam. Convenient is the key. =)

 

Windmills

If you are there, you would see how Mr Chong's eyes light up upon seeing this. No idea why he has this special feeling for ducks and swan, but they are cute nevertheless. They love human i think.

I love cheese. They provide free cheese tasting. Yummy.

We went to the cafe and this is the view. I want to go back to Amsterdam badly. I don't know why but i want to go back.

We went to the red light district after dinner tonight. Everything was really great. Even I don't understand but I really like Amsterdam.They are like this hidden gem that no one can resist. If you can, go to Amsterdam. I love everything there. Remember to visit everything I just mention.

December

We are in the last month of year 2013. Thinking back, i wonder what have i done for year 2013. Reflection time!

I am still looking forward to 2014. I hope I will be more motivated with life. Recently I am always tired. Moving a muscle is almost like moving the mountain, i kid you not. Maybe this is what rainy days do to me.  


My only joy in life now is watching drama. Best if it is comedy. Oh, and online shopping. It gets so bad at times, that i just buy anything, A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G. No worries, I am not depressed, just bored. I am thinking how to make myself more involved in life, or should i say more enthusiastic about life. =)

I love the atmosphere of Christmas. Favorite place is cold storage. They always play nice Christmas-ty song during this period of time. <3 Maybe I should hop by Cold Storage later. wheee~~~

Will update more later.

Music Wednesday

I love Music Wednesday, because there is music and it is already midweek! haha.

The Best Day - Taylor Swift

Love this song. I think this is a music video done by Taylor Swift herself. I know a lot of people don't really like her voice/song. But try this song out. =)  <3 

Okie, i personally like her voice. Haha.
