♥ Valentine's Day Baking

Spent 3 hours on a Thursday night and picked the best cookies and cupcakes among all the ones I've baked. Packed them in a nice box with lots of love ...

♥ Jumbo - Top Deck

Woke up on a rainy Sunday noon, I followed John to a surprise lunch. Despite the bad weather, we managed to have a great afternoon there. Its sunday brunch buffet was good with unlimited flow of champange. Love every activity planned by Dear John on this special Valentine's weekend ♥

Happy Valentine's Day! This is the first Valentine's weekend we get to spend in person and I enjoy every single moment of it. Sat afternoon we went to the chocolate tea buffet at Mandarin Oriental. It was delicious - too much chocolate; too much love. Its afternoon tea sandwiches are yum too. As a tea girl, I have always love tea. I have chosen its Strawberry Green Tea and it tastes very fruity. As for its choco desserts, I wish my stomach was bigger so I could try all its cakes and chocolate drinks! By the time we walked out the hotel, we were both having chocolate coma!

♥ Harlan's

Haven't gone for an afternoon tea for a long time :) Finally this weekend I got a reservation at Harlan's with Ann. It was a very nice catch up with good friend and the view is very nice. If it was not as cold, I would have sat outdoor. The food is yum and as usual my fav would be the smoked salmon sandwich!

♥ A very American NYE Dinner

A very American New Year's Eve dinner at CPK Times Square with sister, friends and John. It was actually my first New Year's Eve in Hong Kong with my favorite American food. Food at CPK in Hong Kong tastes just like the ones in New York City and almost every time I would order the same pizza - shrimps with garlic toppings! yummieeeeeee

spinach & artichoke dip

dessert - chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream

I ♥ sushi

Sushi almost every weekend :) I love sushi!

♥ New Year Baking - Choco Chip Chookies

Here comes my New Year baking of the year. When it comes to "lazy baking", I miss all the baking mix from Trader Joes esp its pumpkin muffin and apple bread mix. Since I have 2 friends over, I've shortened the whole process by using the simple choco chip cookies mix with egg and butter only. It turned out yum and the guys loved it. :)
