TWG Tea Salon & Boutique (Pavilion Kuala Lumpur)

TWG Tea Salon & Boutique (Pavilion Kuala Lumpur)
Visited on Jan 2014

英国维多利亚时代的下午茶让人感觉奢靡高级,到了今天却演变成人们的一种休闲习惯。一个人喝下午茶,无非是为了暂时逃离繁杂的生活,几个好友共分享下午茶,那必定是不顾任何形象地闲谈彼此。对于我,这就是享用下午茶的意义。

English high tea is so popular during Victorian era. High Tea is often a misnomer. Most people refer to afternoon tea as high tea because they think it sounds regal and lofty, when in all actuality, high tea, or "meat tea" is dinner. In England, the traditional time for tea was four or five o'clock and no one stayed after seven o'clock. Most tea rooms today serve tea from three to five o'clock. But nowadays, English high tea becomes a kind of lifestyle in our life.

If one going to high tea, he or she must be fed up with the hectic life and need so relaxing place to get rid of all those worries. If a group of friend who going for high tea, their purpose sure will be gossiping about other. This are what comes to Kim’s mind when it comes to high tea.

Habanero Mexican Dining (Sunway Carnival Mall)

Habanero Mexican Dining (Sunway Carnival Mall)
Visited on Dec 2013

墨西哥佳肴的颜色特别鲜艳,以酸辣的重口味为主,辣椒种类多,酱料搭配的吃法花样百出,特别容易刺激食欲。我看到一个网站写:墨西哥人称自己为「玉米人」,因为墨西哥特色美食作法离不开用玉米饼搭配不同的馅料和酱汁。这间店可以作为对墨西哥传统食物的入门介绍,食物选择不多,但已能让你了解墨西哥人的基本口味。

Mexican food… A fusion of indigenous Mesoamerican cooking with European, especially Spanish, elements added after the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in the 16th century. The basic staples remain native foods such as corn, beans and chili peppers, but the Europeans introduced a large number of other foods, the most important of which were meat from domesticated animals (beef, pork, chicken, goat and sheep), dairy products (especially cheese) and various herbs and lots of spices. Habanero Mexican Dining will give you an introduction to the traditional Mexican cuisine.

Penang Tropical Spice Garden 槟城热带香料花园

Visited on July 2013



晃秋千,甜脆的笑声穿梭在树林阳光的缝隙间。抬头望,自然的精灵追逐着风在这片天空嬉戏,高大浓密的树荫像细纱滤去阳光的炙热,零星点点地落下,粘在手上的是干净温暖的午后阳光。我特爱这种平静,能让我从容的感受自己在天地间的渺小,像一个种子萌出了嫩芽,准备茁壮成长,绽放完成生命。
