I’m Thien Lan and like your typical Asian girl you can’t start a meal before I’ve had a picture of each dish! Sounds familiar? Well it’s now for you to enjoy and discover new yummy restaurants around Zurich.
I’m a Parisian born Vietnamese who arrived in Zurich, Switzerland last August after having spent 11 years of my life in Sydney, Australia. I’m married to a French man and lots of my friends are in France so you’ll also see reviews of restaurants there.
In fact you’d call me a woman rather than a girl as I’m on the other side of the mid thirties and am a mum! So unlike other food blogs like therealpickygourmet.com written by what it seems like a bachelor with a great sense of humour (love the analogy between “vegetarism” and sex with a condom), you will also find kids friendly places in here. I might also expand log posts beyond food with some thoughts about parenting, home decor, fashion, and perhaps music (well I play Singstar, Rock band and some piano).

I’ve been wearing contact lenses for 22 years. I’m shortsighted as you would expect from 80% of Asian people and I also have astigmatism. As my yearly supply of contact lenses was down to one pair, I had to quickly understand where…
We are kind of a serial expat family and arrived last July in Oslo, Norway. This is our first spring here and our first Syttende Mai: 17th May, Norway’s Constitution Day, the country’s national day. WOW we loved it! Bunads: Norwegian traditional costumes Unlike July…
Tomorrow is 17th May, Norwegian National Celebration day. It’s also the end of a whole month of crazy partying and several years of preparation for the Russ. If you’ve seen those teenagers in mostly red overall or if your children…
Hi everyone I can’t believe it’s been a whole month since I last posted on the blog. So much happened in the meantime: I got pneumonia, again, I went to Las Vegas and WordPress release its 4.5 version with major…
As mentioned in a previous post, it’s not that easy to find places to eat at lunch as most restaurants only open for dinner, from 3pm. For us, lunch is much more convenient as we can bring the kids along on…
Why did we chose Austria for our winter holidays? Last year we discovered the amazing concept of Kinderhotels where you can leave your children with the Kids club for up to 12 hours a day so that you and your partner…
After our massive fail at Trancher we were still on a mission to find the best steak in Oslo. Grilled, chargrilled that is. As my mother in law in in town, we organised a date night with hubby and he made a…
