Short note

Hi, you may have probably noticed that I've been quietly trying to slip in some back-log posts! Obviously not succeeding too well :)

Hope everyone is well. Do apologize for not blogging more often, been busy and there were a few things going on that kept me at bay.

It has been a good rest albeit long but its been appreciated.

As you may have noticed I've still been taking pictures....just didn't have time to clean up the pictures and upload them.

On a personal level, my latest indulgence is that I am SO HOOKED into this Vietnamese instant coffee. It is so fragrant and delicious especially with a tbsp of condense milk (evil but taste so good! ha). Its even great drinking it cold. Sad to say I've just savoured my last sachet and can't wait for my next supply!



If you can get your hands on this, do give it a try. Its really tasty, trust me.

While waiting for my coffee supply, my curiosity got the better of me I ended up walking out with a packet of Korean 3-in-1 mix. Not bad but can't compare the deep rich and complex flavour of the Vietnamese coffee counterpart.



Been inspired with Korean cooking with Vietnamese food recently jumping into the bandwagon. My latest interest is the cooking show by Chef Luke Nguyen. You can check out more at www.sbs.com.au website or just do a search on youtube. Largely due to the language barrier, I am glad to be able to journey with Luke as he cooks and travel around Vietnam.

Noticed that both cuisine like to grill and then wrap their food in lettuce. So find myself adopting a fusion with both using gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) and fresh herbs like mint, corriander, basil and lemongrass. Needless to say the combination is just fantastic, full of fresh and complex flavours - just the way I like it! :)

In the mean time, will try my best to spend a little more time catching up with my blog so do track back my posts if you want to know what I've been up do in the kitchen, haha! Thanks for faithfully dropping by *muaks*

:) SK ....sigh, really can't wait for my supply.

Hi AikoVenus, tks for dropping by. For an instant sachet coffee it is very aromatic, versatile both cold and hot. Think that is why I like it cos I can never finish my coffee properly and tend to also drink them cold. ugh to some but still taste fine to me. am i weird?
