I hope everyone is staying dry and safe in this Hong Kong super typhoon weather. We’ve been stuck indoors all weekend, no school on Friday and it’s been a very wet and windy Saturday. We made playdoh, oobleck and I’m running out of ideas to keep my toddler entertained. I’ve also allowed free flow screen […]
One Harbour Road at the Grand Hyatt is our regular haunt. We’re here at least twice a month for yumcha and it’s what the toddler looks forward to every week. I’m surprised it doesn’t have a Michelin star even though it’s on the Guide’s radar. I know it does huge volume, but the quality is […]
We started making our own play dough for over a year now because the store bought one dries up really quick and it’s neither environmentally friendly or economical to keep paying for individual tubs of playdoh– more plastic tubs adding to the landfill. Making our own gives us control of mixing colours, creating new colours […]
I did a street photography workshop with Wander With Nicole in June and didn’t have a chance to look at the photos I took till recently. We had a great Summer away for 5 weeks, quality time spent with grandparents on both sides and we’ve been back at school for 2 weeks now. The dust […]
I feel like I can never get a break as the whole family is sick and the toddler has been sick for 3 weeks. I haven’t slept much in the past weeks with the cycles of raging high fevers, multiple trips to the paediatrician, multiple swabs, the same cycles of medication we’ve cycled through bottles […]
I finally understand the sacrifices, sheer exhaustion and reality of balancing life and motherhood now that I’ve got a spirited 2.5 year old. In between, life and death happens. I didn’t realise I’d start losing so many friends in my late 30s and now 40s, it feels even more common place. We’re no longer young, […]
Finished a piece for Little Steps Asia and including some of my personal favourites. Get it catered! Making sure everyone is fed and happy is essential to host a great party. @CookingwithAlix is run by a French Mum who offers catering, meal planning and cooking classes (adults and kids) for simple, healthy meals. It couldn’t get more […]
I highly recommend a visit to the Palace Museum. I liked it much better than the Taipei National Museum that’s full of very old things – too many of the same after a while for a philistine like me. The Hong Kong Palace Museum has a beautiful curated selection of modern and old things, and […]
Our trip home to Singapore was brief, eventful and memorable. My son got to meet his grandparents and extended family for the first time. He also ran a very high viral fever over 40 degrees and we were in and out of A&E at KK hospital twice. All good and the culprit was the Adeno […]
Moxie is a spot has become a regular lunch date venue for us on my husband’s day off; the menu is plant-forward, the dishes simple- letting the sustainably sourced produce shine and do all the work, yet tasty and robust. Led by Head Chef Michael Smith, the menu is evolving seasonally, along with the ingredients […]
