Started off the year babysitting my sister’s dog, Started off the year babysitting my sister’s dog, Truffle. This little cutie is sweet, clingy, and so well-behaved. Even though it rained a lot, we still squeezed in short walks and quick lunch outings together.

He loves crunchy veggies like carrots and Napa cabbage. He is so smart when it comes to snuffle activities. We hid treats in a rolled-up towel and tied it into a knot. He untied and unrolled it in no time! 

Such a fun (and cuddly) way to kick off the year.
2025 is coming to an end! This year has been espec 2025 is coming to an end! This year has been especially full of family time for me. We were lucky to spend so much time with my parents, my mother-in-law, my sister, & my brother-in-law, and I’m truly grateful for all those moments. 

On the blog side, I shared many new recipes that have become personal favorites. The Top 6 includes quite a few sweet and breakfast recipes. Honestly, I’m not mad about it because breakfast is my favorite meal! Swipe to see which recipes made the list ➡️ The last photo is a bonus: my absolute favorite recipe of 2025!

Thank you all so much for your continued support. I truly couldn’t do this without you. ❤️

Happy New Year, and cheers to 2026! 🥂✨

Back to New York after 13 years! This time we visi Back to New York after 13 years! This time we visited during the holidays, and the city was beautifully decorated. Cold, festive, and buzzing.

We were there for Bryan’s work trip, so I wandered around on my own most days, and we squeezed in one half day to explore together. It even snowed lightly on our last day, which felt so dreamy! 

Of course, we ate so much good food. I tried to sample a little bit of everything: pizza, bagels, borscht soup, black and white cookie, gorgeous pastries, and even a Michelin-star meal. 

Our time was short, so there was still so much we couldn’t fit in. But that just means we’ll have to save it for next time.

1. Vessel w/ Christmas trees 
2. Taro & mochi lace batter donut (@papadamournyc) - crispy batter w/ soft chewy mochi & strawberry guava jam. Best thing we ate in NYC!
3. Empire State Building in fog 
4. Fried arroz negro, squid, and romesco (@estelanyc) - The rice has a toasted flavor & a bit crispy. Good seafood flavor & very unique. I love this dish! 
5. Black & White Cookie (@wgbergdesserts) - Soft cake like texture w/ a sweet frosting. Little sweet, but tasty. 
6. Christmas tree in Bryant Park Winter Village
7. Ukrainian borscht soup (@veselkanyc) - Made w/ beet. My 1st time trying Ukrainian borscht, very surprised that it tasted exactly like Hong Kong borscht. Delicious! 
8. Orange pastry (@salswee) - Orange mousse, orange coulis, almond sponge cake & crisp cocoa base. So good! 
9. Macy’s wooden escalator from early 20th century
We spent Friday at Disneyland and Disney Californi We spent Friday at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, and besides the rides, you know we ate a ton. Here are our Top 5 Favorite Foods from this trip:

1. Kublag Curry (seasonal)- A bit like Thai curry. Rich & flavorful, and seriously comforting! The shrimps are seasoned and cooked well. Ideal for a chilly winter day. (@ Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo) 
2. Ronto Morning Wrap (breakfast) - Tasty, but not heavy. The eggs are soft and fluffy, the sausage is way better than a standard breakfast link, and the pita is good too. Warm & savory! My favorite breakfast item in the park! (@ Ronto Roasters)
3. Mickey-shaped Beignets - Cute, fluffy & hot! Not too sweet and totally gives New Orleans vibes. (@ Mint Julep Bar) 
4. Mickey Gingerbread (seasonal) - Always adorable, but truly delicious too. Soft, gingery, and one of my all-time favorites. I’d buy it even if it wasn’t Mickey-shaped. Be sure to mobile-order at 7am so they don’t sell out! (@ Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe)
5. Prime Rib (seasonal) - Not the best ever prime rib ever, but surprisingly good! Tender,  well seasoned and served w/ fantastic mashed potatoes. If you want something hearty & satisfying, this is a winner. (@ Lamplight Lounge)

BONUS: 
1. Lumpia - Right next to the dole whip stand. Lately, every time we grab a dole whip, we also get lumpia. Crispy, meaty, & hot! A bite of lumpia followed by a spoonful of dole whip is the perfect balance. (@ The Tropical Hideaway)
The Best Apple Crumble. The ultimate comforting de The Best Apple Crumble. The ultimate comforting dessert for the holidays. Tender apples, warm cinnamon, and a buttery crumble topping. Served with creamy ice cream, of course! I made this for my parents when they were in town. Since my mom isn’t a fan of cinnamon, I baked one without it, and honestly? Still absolutely delicious. With or without cinnamon, this crumble is a winner!

Apple Syrup. We went apple picking w/ my parents w Apple Syrup. We went apple picking w/ my parents while they were in town, and drinking fresh apple cider inspired me to make this syrup. It’s sweet, a little tart, mildly spiced, & bursting with concentrated apple flavor. Perfect for coffee, tea, cocktails, or mocktails! Even just w/ sparkling water for a crisp, refreshing apple soda. So simple, yet so good! 🍎
