Home is where the Heart is Part 2


Brunch @ Mosaic 


Mini high school reunion :)


Loved that we were able to get together especially since this entire side of the table lives in different countries hehe!  Which means our mini group lives in 3 different continents! 


My high school bestie's Hannah & Jane :) 

Ok you too Jonathan ahahahahahahaha 




Waffles!

Chicken pecan salad on waffle w/ french fries

Oh man ever since moving to Germany I've become OBSESSED w/ Belgium Waffles.  But this place was awesome.. it can make whatever sandwich you want on a waffle!!!!

AND YES IT WAS DELICIOUS! hahahahaha

Starbucks pumpkin spice latte turned 3 hour catchup sesh :)

Japanese curry w/ chicken, mushrooms, carrots & potatoes

Fried Shrimp  & Garlic

Fried Fish & Garlic

I've traveled the world and eaten amazing food everywhere but seriously sometimes nothing tastes as wonderful or feels as comforting than your moms cooking :)


And yes even though I loved eating my moms cooking.. I also missed Trader Joe's haha!

Picked up some of the most amazing and adorable dessert plates at Target!!  

They're plastic but they're soooo cute and they were less than $2 dollars a plate!


And the matching serving plate!!

I haven't decided if I'm going to use it as an actual serving plate or use it in my dressing room to put my costume jewelry on. :p



I also picked up some Elf makeup and some NYX black label lipsticks!!!  

Found them at Nordstrom Rack omg I was so excited NYX black label lipstick ROCKS! So creamy and lasts so long!


My mom got me some some of my favorite asian snacks and drinks.

  17. mumma's cooking will always be the best no matter how much amazing food you eat. Its the kind of cooking you're always craving when you no longer have the luxury of eating it on a regular basis :D

    Man indian buffet! I would be shovelling butter chicken in me like crazy :p

    I really shouldn't read your food blog posts after I eat, I just suddenly get hungry again ahahaha

  18. Great photos! The waffle sandwich is a new concept for me - I wonder what it tastes like. The fried fish makes my mouth water. Delicious!! Have a great weekend.

  19. Aww you always look like you are having so much fun (and eating such great good!)
    I totally bring an empty suitcase to bring back Trader Joe's stuff. I even emailed them to ask them to open abroad!
    Oh and I need to load up on both my Sephora goodies (too faced primer, bare minerals foundation) and drugstore goodies. Do you have any other fave drugstore cosmetics? I used Revlon Super lustrous lipstick and was pretty impressed by it!

  34. The waffle sandwiches sound awesome and remind me of when I was little and used to make Eggo sandwiches with bologna in the middle, hehe.
    And the Japanese curry brings me back! My mom used to make that curry with carrots, potatoes and chicken over rice - delish!

    ReplyDelete
  35. i love the indian food, waffles and noodles!! totally love it! gosh your pictures make me so tempted to have some now hehe..!!
    New post on my style inspiration is up on my blog sweets :)

  36. Omg so much love in this post between you and your friends and your family! Kekekeke To be honest when I saw the first photo I was thining "omg she got to go to afternoon tea againnnnnn???" LOL I was so jelly cause I haven't gone in forever! Actually I was going to go the other day but the cafe cancelled it! Ugh!

    You look soooo pretty and happy! Oh gosh Target has the cutest stuff! Even though Target is taking over Zellers in Canada I highly doubt that the same products will be sold =( I actually prefer plastic plates more than glass cause I grew up using them in my house hold. You can drop them and they won't break, smash them up while putting them in the dishwasher and they don't make that "clinking" sound when you piling them up in your cabinets.

    Oh which blush did you get?!??!!!? I just got my first elf blush in tickled pink(?)! I actually got my hands on a sample size of NARS orgasm and was sooooo disappointed it didn't deliver. I don't know if it's cause I like heavily pigmented blushes recently or what but the colour didn't show at all, nada! I can't be that dark!

    Hope you're doing well girly and shedding those pounds from the psl but don't worry they'll be back next holiday for all of us LOL (*sigh* love hate relationships haha)

  37. It is amazing to know that people living in 3 continents could find the right time to get together. I think that is really heartwarming.

    I agree so much about home-cooked food. For me, it isn't just my mom as my dad cooks just as well and I love their cooking so much.

    You are so fortunate to have so many good friends and love from all over. I dare say that you yourself must have been a very good person to be blessed in this way.

    I always love reading your posts coz it encompasses to many people in your life.

    RYC:
    Blogging bff? What a cute term. I love it! More and more people are saying we look similar or look like sisters. I guess it is really true when I look at features like our noses and smile. We should hang out too if you ever come to Singapore and if I ever go to Germany. How long would you be in Germany?

  38. Aww lovely pictures, looks like you had so much fun! :)

  39. The Hello Kitty blower! Gaaah. So cute!

    This post made me miss my friends back in HS and even college. xD

  40. Again, so much awesomeness going on in your post!!!

    Your mom's fried catfish with garlic looks delish. I looooove fried catfish but we've been trying to cut down and eat other fish that is less fatty...just not the same.

    Your friends playing with the porcupine cracks me up.

    Oh, I can't wait to hit up Target after Valentines day b/c I know all that stuff will be on sale!! I still use them all year round as long as it is cute. lol

    :-)

    Have a good week Lisa
