sLOVEnia - Ljubljana

Our last stop was the capital city Ljubljana, the city of dragons. Reason being the Dragon Bridge is one of the famous bridges and the most photographed icon in this city.

Triple Bridge

One of the churches in the main square just before the bridge.

Nice building

Walking in Ljubljana at night is so safe and I can't believe Askar tried warning us against almost nothing. It's a beautiful city and people are really friendly. We saw more Asian looking people here, so the curious stares have gone down too hehe.

They love al fresco dining. So do I!

As we had limited time in this place, we did the usual touristy sights including climbing up (yes again) to Ljubljana Castle perched atop a hill. Once up there, the view was amazing and again, cameras clicked non stop.


Wala! The city with the alps in the far distance


The river running thru the city

Do you spot the church which I took up close earlier??

Amazed by this one coz the cars look so tiny, it looks like a model when actually it's not. Good town planning you think? Looks very orderly hehe

Walked around their Central Market and we saw a glimpse of the Slovenes' everyday life.

Cute old lady selling herbs (I love cute old ladies)

Fruit seller

Fresh fruits

We had lunch al fresco, walked around a bit more, and then we headed back to hotel to get our bags and made our way to the airport.

This has been a truly unforgettable trip for me. Ahh Slovenia.

Happy traveller

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the...

Cooking mee pok dry | bak chor and fishball noodles

When I touched down at Changi airport a few weeks ago, I was very hungry and K suggested grabbing a quick bite at the food court.  I immediately went for the queue at the bak chor (minced pork) noodles stall.  This one dish is very local and we simply can't find it here.  London's Chinatown has a few Malaysian restaurants with fried kway teow, chicken rice, laksa, etc but there is no authentic fishball noodles or minced pork noodles. When my friend Corinne shared this link last week, I was intrigued and I didn't know K was too.  He suggested going to the Asian supermarket on Sunday to get the necessary ingredients.  We found Dodo fishballs from Singapore here - what a win!  Unfortunately the mee pok (yellow, flat noodles) is of a darker shade here and tastes slightly different (maybe a different type of wheat?).  We found fishcakes too. http://delishar.com/2015/12/fishball-noodles-mee-pok-tah.html This is a healthier version of the hawker center'...

Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...
