  I was fortunate to visit San Francisco for work in mid December. Right after checking in to the hotel, I dropped off my luggage, grabbed my camera and hopped on the cable car to Fisherman’s Wharf. I know, I know, classic tourist move but I couldn’t help but want to visit. The cable car system threw me […]  I am a huge fan of the Food Network and its cult classics Iron Chef America, The Next Iron Chef, Masterchef and of course, the irascible Gordon Ramsay and his explosive Hell’s Kitchen. A recent discovery though, was an old 5-part miniseries from 1999 that chronicles Chef Ramsay’s early years. Boiling Point follows him through his […] Hi Sher! I’ve come across your blog from the lovely Joyce (C&C) and your photography is really beautiful. I’m super jealous of all your travel posts hehe, I like your London posts as that’s where I live but also Thailand as that is one of my favourite holiday destinations I’ve been to recently :) Hey Hanh, thanks for stopping by! Ooh I’m jealous you’re in London!! It’s such a great city. Ha and funny enough, Thailand had tons of brits there on holiday. I can see why now, it’s such a great retreat!  Le Potage du Pere Thierry On our first night in Paris, we ventured out to a wine bar + restaurant well known among the expat crowd, but which ultimately ended up a major disappointment.

Check out the floor to ceiling mirrors and all that marble! I stumbled on the idea to visit the Jacquemart Andre museum by chance, having never heard of the place before this latest trip to […] Whoa, all that marble! And that mirror is so beautiful! I’m intrigued by that marble staircase. How did they even make that? Carve it? However they created it, it sure is lovely. I’m not sure, but it does look incredibly beautiful and must have cost a fortune, even back in the day! thanks for stopping by Grey :) […] level viewing deck from the Pantheon, the charming mansion of Musee Jacquemart-Andre (check out posts 1 and 2), and the sculpture filled gardens at Musee […] […] Part I, here are some more pictures of the Musée Jacquemart André and some additional info on the […] […] Jacquemart Andre Part I and Part […]  The Best Macarons in Paris Mhm macarons! Before we even flew to Paris, I made a list of all the dessert shops I wanted to visit. Sadaharu Aoki, check. Pierre Herme, check. The fact that both were within relatively close proximity? Walking dessert tour time!! Sadaharu Aoki After an early […] Omg I love the macaroons from Pierre Hermes! They have very interesting combo there! I haven’t tried Sadaharu Aoki! It sounds delightful! Would love to try! Oh this looks like heaven! I still treasure my macaron box from Laduree Paris. Hi Sher! Thanks so much for your kind comment, what a fun coincidence!
