Done with Guérande’s salt mash? Visit Guérande’s old town, it is a classified Historical Monument since 2004. It is 80km from Nantes. The entire old town is inside a fortified 1434m stone wall, with 4… Guérande is where the world’s most desired grade of salt comes from. This town is famed for its Fleur de Sel aka flower of salt. Like champagne, the name “Fleur de Sel of Guérande” is… Empties review on: Primark PS Blemish blaster, REN rosa centifolia 3-in-1 cleansing water, Clinique moisture surge overnight mask, Dermalogica precleanse balm, Clinique foaming sonic facial soap, Nuxe clarifying cream mask with rose petals, Naturie hatomugi skin conditioner, Muji cleansing oil, DHC face wash, Yves Rocher cleansing miceller oil pure calmille Starting a new series to encourage myself clearing out my cupboards LOL. I was inspired by Rachel from Helpless Whilst Drying. Yes, I did get Rachel’s permission 😉 She has done 33 <Ten Empties> reviews!… That ‘disappearing’ path thing is not unique to Mount St Michel in France. Here in St Malo, the ‘island’ is a lot smaller and there are no hotels/restaurants on it… there’s no body on it. Fond memories of my drunken travel in France. Take my breath away already! This park was AMAZING. Impeccably trimmed and a sheer Japanese beauty in the botanical form. Think lake, zen garden, bridge, koi fish, bonzai, boxed grown trees, Japanese tea house overseeing the lake… This beauty was categorised as National Special Scenic Beauty, it was the largest one in Japan. The garden was commissioned back in Edo period, 1625. It took about 100 years to complete; completed in… Bateaux Parisiens was a restaurant / cruise that operates on the Seine. With the iconic Paris as its back drop, the beautifully arrange French cuisine was just orgasmic. We did the lunch cruise 12:45 service premier (front of the boat, next to the window). 2 hours of pure Parisian romance. With generous helping of champagne, wine, cake, starter, main, cheese, dessert, and more wine. I had major food coma. We were really… Gorgeous tropical forest hike. I have no idea why this place is called “House of the Forest”. The highlight of this place is actually the jungle/forest hike in the middle of nowhere. So there’re technically, no “house”. Latest

I am a HUGE fan of Nissin noodles. I buy them in cases and occasionally dream about them. Anyways, this trip was more of a ‘pilgrimage’ to Nissin. Just a little bit of history here. Mr Momofuku Ando 安藤 百福 1910-2007, invented THE chicken instant noodle (Chikin ramen チキンラーメン) in 1958. This revolutionised the world – quick meal to treat hungry salary men of Japan, inspiration to space travel meal, the benchmark for noodle preservation technology. The ultimate solution to long nights of gaming, of course. The museum housed the replica of the original kitchen where Mr Ando created the first instant noodle. Shibu onsen is a ‘suburb’ within the mega onsen town, Yudanaka. Yudanaka is famed for its bath loving snow monkeys and natural hot springs. The peak season is winter. As I am a value seeking… I had been eyeing Japanese knives since my first visit. So glad that I finally took the plunge and can finally call some of their ‘artwork’ my own. This little store was a TOTAL gem.… Travel for less, this is a how to bargain hunt type of post. I am a huge fan of “value for money” when it comes to travel. Leisure should never break the bank or be poor value for money. The below is what I do for sorting out my trips with travel for less in mind. 7 tips from me 😉 I love pho! There’s magic in the Vietnamese broth and the wonders of rice noodles. After ‘phorathon’ in 13eme, here’s favourite and my worst. How to start this one? I was craving for some ramen… WHAT on EARTH were they doing?!?!?!?! First of all, the original Hakata concept was simplicity and rustic feeling. So WHY on earth did they glam up and botox the London branch? That’s right, I felt that they’ve BOTOX the place. This was a DIY home dish. Super quick. Prep + Cook = 10min It’s been a while since my last beauty post. I’d like to try out doing some empties review. My main inspo is Rachel’s series “ten empties” and the rating system from Stashy’s (she has retired from blogging though). Rachel always have fab photos for all her posts. How to look local Parisian with ease. I have summarised it all in 7 simple steps 😉 I have lived in Paris for 2 years now and these are my observations. Some of it may… It’s been 8 months in Paris! Yay & nay, because my immigration procedures are still not over. Anyhow, here’s to another round of 10 impressions of Paris. Starting a new chapter in Paris! Never imagined that I’ll land up here. I grew up in South Africa and spoke no French. Ended up meeting my French spouse while working in Shanghai. My hubby…
