Bangkok free and easy : CAfe hopping Peony TEa house



Was looking for a different cafe to try out instead of the usual after you cafe or the high tea at erwan.
Found this nice little tea shop and is location is good too.
It is accessible. Just take the train to silom bts at silom complex is just beside it. Silom complex is linked to the train station  via the bridge if I am not wrong.
Peony tea house is just opposite after you cafe and on the right when you walk into silom complex through the bridge. It is good if you are a person who like to take the taxi or worries about venturing into weird areas.








Large variety of tea available.
Even frappucinno. 
A good place to chill and relax after a day of walking and shopping.

Brownie and Ice cream set.
Brownie taste yummy and very chocolate


The high tea set costing 180baht. Quite worth it as it is just nice for 2 person.

The sandwiches stands out beceause the bread has been lightly toasted. I am not a fan of white bread.
Everything is delicious.


They also sell macaroons. I forgot the price but is less than 40 baht per piece.

I am quite happy I found this little cafe. 
It is not as popular so there is not a need to queue and the place is not as crowded.
Service is good. 
The food is good and a lot of genuine efforts has been put into it.
Drop by for a visit if you are there.
I will definitely go back to try out the other stuffs.
Free wifi too. Just ask for password

Bangkok free and easy : Cafe hopping : Audrey cafe and Bistro



Finally reached after a 10-15 minutes walk from Thong Lo BTS.
We used the GPS from our phone and it works.
Alternatively, you can just cab there but the weather was not bad and we like to stroll.
We walked in around 5 plus, the place was empty.
Maybe one reason is that it was the first day of military rule.
On the other hand, if you visiting it later in the evening as I read about it long queue.
May consider making a reservation




The menu



Very nice interiors with nice looking menu


Scone selection: We did not try it but i looks good.





A beautiful photogenic restaurant.


Thai tea.
Can't remember much. 
Should be average

This is above average.
It is Tom Yam suki, means is like Tom Yam with noodles.
If you like Tom Yam, give it a try


Pizza Tom Yum Kung
Very popular, read about it on blogs.
BEst dish of the day. Taste very good.
Not too much flour and each piece has ample seafoods and the Tom Yam really give it a punch.
Will want go back for just this.



CRab Souffle.
Most expensive and supposedly the best and most special dish of the restaurant.
We are supposed to poke open the souffle and poured in the crab sauce.
At first, it taste real good but it gets a bit sickening at the end.
Recommend if you are sharing with friends or you just love egg whites.








Nice cakes and they have discount for the cakes. Too bad, we were too full.

Tried another of their specialty. Thai Milk Tea crepe cake.
Let just say is slightly above average.



The bill.
The pricing is quite reasonable but the main cost is the crab souffle so if you forego it, this place is quite cheap for a meal with slightly above average food and a nice environment which you can take really nice photos or have a romantic/ relaxing meal
Free wifi too. Just ask for password

singapore eats: Daily scoop







Cute interior with lot of flavours ice cream to choose from and fresh waffle.
This place is worth a visit. 
3 locations:
41 Sunset WAy
43 JAlan Merah Saga
369 Sembawang raod


Singapore eats: Next door Deli and Pine gardens




Located at Ang Mo Kio Ave 10. It is quite easy to locate the place as it is along the main road. Buses to there includes 45,88,265.
The menu is just on the wall.



Price are quite reasonable, around western food at hawker centre or coffee shop
Do take note is self service



Drinks are also quite reasonable priced.

Our drinks. Lemongrass and lemon with plum
Just normal drinks but I do like the blue tiled background


Interior is nothing to shout about but quite pleasant.
It is not as expensive as other cafe. If you are an budget, and not have high expectation on the interiors. This place is good





 Grilled chicken
 wok fried laska

Next door deli's food reminds me of the good school in school canteen.
Nothing fanciful but it just have a very school vibe in it.
The good is good. The chicken wing is fried to golden brown while inside is tender and juicy.
Grilled chicken cutlet is also grilled just nicely.
The most famous and interesting should be the wok fried laksa. It has a distinctively laska taste, just that it is not soupy. 
I wish I choose to have cockles instead of prawns
My sister enjoyed this dish much more than me as I am not into bean sprouts so the whole thing seems bit dry for me.
My sis say the bean sprouts are nice cooked, still have the crunch so it complies the noodles. She is definitely going back for more of it.

They have some discount for students and teachers on weekdays.


Next door deli
blk 529 ang mo kio ave 10 
#01-2369 singapore 560529








Beside next deli is famous pine gardens,  no seats available.
Have to buy take away. Interesting flavours of cakes

SWitzerland free and easy : Things to do at Zurich Free walking tours Zurich Review

If you have only a few hours in Zurich or just intend to spend a few hours in Zurich as it is not an very interesting place. Can just the Zurich walking tour and learn something about Zurich with a free guide. Tips are encouraged, but to me is complusory. You can give according on how good you think the guide is.
There are few free ones available, ours was the downtown tour.
Meeting point. Near to credit suisee building, at UBS.
Can take the tram down
TRam service : 2678911 and 13. stop PAraplatz
To spot the tour group, look for a person in blue
Do expect to walk and the plus is you will never be lost.



Our handsome guide explaining to us about the history and buidlings








This is not the highlight of the tour but I just find it cute to have nice seat cushion during winter



Christmas is approaching
