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 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).
