Why I haven’t taken the kids to ski school

Posted by Thien Lan on February 19, 2015February 12, 2015 in Kids friendly, Parenting

We’ve been in Zurich for 6 months and quickly figured out skiing is the national sport here. Shops are closed on Sunday but as soon as you see a tiny weeny ray of sun, people rush to the slopes. In…

Where to find the best cakes in Zurich?

Posted by Thien Lan on February 10, 2015November 4, 2017 in Food, Oerlikon, Zurich

I’m French, so I know my desserts, in particular cakes and pastries. I’m Asian so I know what’s good too! In Sydney we found a couple of French style bakeries like Victoire in Cammeray and Darlinghurst, La Renaissance in the…

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…

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…

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…

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…
