something crazy about Switzerland

Something honestly crazy about Switzerland

Posted by Thien Lan on July 1, 2015 in Food, Luxury, Near Dubendorf, Switzerland, Zurich

My Aussie (well Singaporean but we met in Australia) bestie Bev is in town, visiting us with her husband and two kids. I took her shopping to Glattszentrum in the morning to refill on our Nespresso Capsules. After a beautiful…

cheap tasty food in Zurich

The secret to cheap and tasty food: do it yourself

Posted by Thien Lan on June 18, 2015 in Asian Food, Food, Health, Kids friendly, Near Dubendorf, Oerlikon, Parenting, Restaurant Review, Switzerland, Zurich

This week I discovered another way to delicious food for less. Different to the Groupon deals I tried last time, this time is: help yourself! Yan Sushi und Wok: all you can eat Asian Buffet! How good can all you can eat…

Waldmannsburg Dubendorf Restaurant Review

10th Anniversary lunch at Waldmannsburg Panoramic Restaurant, Dübendorf

Posted by Thien Lan on May 21, 2015May 20, 2015 in Food, Kids friendly, Luxury, Near Dubendorf, Outdoors, Restaurant Review, Swiss food, Switzerland, Zurich

My husband is now working overseas and he came back home on Thursday 7th May as it was our 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! We decided to celebrate the next day over lunch while the kids are at school so we could…

Il Faro Grotto near the military museum in Dubendorf

Il Faro Grotto, Romantic Italian Restaurant in Dubendorf (Zurich)

Posted by Thien Lan on February 5, 2015February 2, 2015 in Food, Italian Food, Kids friendly, Near Dubendorf, Restaurant Review, Zurich

Ok guys, I know I raved about Pinocchio but I’ve got a new local restaurant crush with Il Faro. Not the one on Zurichstrasse but the Grotto one, hidden near the military airport. Enter the room and you feel like…

Lamb on hotstone at Kibiz

Kibiz Restaurant in Dietlikon

Posted by Thien Lan on January 29, 2015January 29, 2015 in Food, Near Dubendorf, Restaurant Review, Swiss food, Zurich

This restaurant review is for the locals. I’m sure you’ve been shopping in Dietlikon at the big Coop supermarket (which is our absolute favourite because of their French lay-out and scan system), Ikea, H&M, Jumbo or Toys R Us. Maybe you’ve even been…

Green tea at Kang In

Kang In, Cambodian Restaurant in Dubendorf

Posted by Thien Lan on January 15, 2015January 15, 2015 in Asian Food, Food, Near Dubendorf, Restaurant Review, Zurich

I’m always on the look out for Asian restaurants near me so I went to try Kang-In in Dubendorf. Very hard to find: they don’t have a big sign post at the top of the building. I drive by almost…

Asiaway, the best Asian restaurant in Zurich

Posted by Thien Lan on December 11, 2014January 15, 2015 in Asian Food, Food, Kids friendly, Near Dubendorf, Oerlikon, Restaurant Review, Zurich

Asiaway is THE way! The name is not as appealing as “Saigon” or something related to Vietnam, but when we discovered it, we were totally sold! We love it so much we recommend to everyone, whether you are familiar or…

Sorrell Sonnetal Dubendorf

Sorell Sonnental Restaurant, Dubendorf

Posted by Thien Lan on December 6, 2014January 15, 2015 in Food, Kids friendly, Near Dubendorf, Restaurant Review, Zurich

Coudn’t wait next Thursday to post a new review. I’m so thrilled about the 90ish visit I got so far that I’m going to post one for the local now. If you know Dubendorf, you can’t miss the big yellow…

Pinocchio s Fischsuppe

Pinocchio, Spanish restaurant in Dubendorf (near Zurich)

Posted by Thien Lan on November 26, 2014January 15, 2015 in Food, Near Dubendorf, Restaurant Review

This is our absolute favourite as it’s yummy, cosy and close to home. You’d expect an Italian restaurant with this name and front but it’s a delicious Spanish restaurant. If you like garlic, you’ll love their cuisine. We’ve been 3…
