Rolli's steakhouse Zurich

Rolli’s Steakhouse review, Oerlikon Zurich

Posted by Thien Lan on April 9, 2015April 9, 2015 in Food, Oerlikon, Restaurant Review, Steakhouse, Zurich

My husband got a good deal for a hygienist treatment on Groupon. It was in Oerlikon so we decided to have lunch there beforehand and picked Rolli’s steakhouse based on the good ratings on Google. The decor is typical of…

what to do with kids in Paris

Paris with a 6 year old?

Posted by Thien Lan on February 26, 2015November 13, 2017 in Food, France, Kids friendly, Restaurant Review, Staff pick

Last week I spent 2 days with my 6 year old son in Paris. Just the two of us. I’ve never been inspired with what to do in Paris with kids. I’ve always found the city so kids unfriendly! I wasn’t…

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…

Date lunches are back! We originally planned to use our Groupon deal at Chez Brigitte but when we rang to book we had a voicemail message suggesting they were closed and their website is down too… So, plan B. One…

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…

Oberiberg ski resort near Zurich perfect for kids

Oberiberg, a very child friendly ski resort near Zurich

Posted by Thien Lan on January 8, 2015January 15, 2015 in Fashion and Beauty, Food, Kids friendly, Outdoors, Parenting, Restaurant Review, Zurich

On Sunday the snow had melted overnight but the sun was out. We thought sunshine would provide the best first ski experience for the kids. We are new in town, we didn’t really know where to go, so we looked…

Aupres du Clocher Pommard

Aupres du clocher, restaurant in Pommard, Burgundy France

Posted by Thien Lan on January 1, 2015June 4, 2015 in Food, France, Restaurant Review

During that week end in Burgundy where we were piling up the Michelin stars, we went wine tasting. Just to be clear, Manu and my friends enjoyed the wine tasting, whilst I volunteered to be on babysitter duty (so I…

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…

Preparing for the gig of my life. . Since I was a Preparing for the gig of my life.

Since I was a teenager I dreamt of (being a rockstar 🤫) playing at La Fête de la Musique, the French national music day.
.
Last year we were so blessed we had a small  window between Covid waves to play at @la_cave_roquefort and I totally loved it.
And we did it again for Christmas, outdoors in the cold!
.
This year we're on the main stage at @ville_roquefort_les_pins playing in front of hundreds of people and that gets me really excited.

Thank you to the music school and the town of Roquefort-Les-Pins for giving  us this opportunity and of course 🙏  to my band @south_attitude
