Vietnamise+ French= great food

Thanks to a friend's reccomendation, find out a sweet little restaurant mixing Vietnamise and French cuisines.

The place had great atmosphere, delicious food and attentive service. What else can you ask for?

Their rooftop terrace shall be closed by now, since the autumn is here, but I reckon, their little dining hall downstrais is very cosy during the autumn& winter days.

Check it out own your own once you'll come to Beijing!

The joys of life nearby sea....

...is definitely an opportunity to eat fresh fish!

And Estonian Northen coast has plenty of amazing restaurants where fish is on display in its best possbile ways.

A short day trip brought us an excellent opportunity to taste some if of it in Palmse.

Here's what we had: salmon and withefish.

These pics help me to remind how easy it actually is to make a dish out of fish and how delicious&healthy it is!

Have a try!

Keep it simple, but let yourself to be suprised ;)

So, you're one of those you does not like to spend too much time in the kitchen? Who loves cooking, but loves also many other things which life has to offer, so does not want to spend ages between stove, oven, ect.

I have a simple and suprinsing recepie to share :)

1. Take 1 cucumber and slice it;

2. Take 3 kiwis and slice these as well.

3. Mix it with cucumber.

4. Voila- ready!

To have even more surpinsing taste, add as a sauce a jam made of fresh blueberries or rasperries. NOTE: no sugar needed- you'll have enough of it from kiwis ;)

It's one of my favourite saldas, cause it simple&suprising ;)

Try it!

NOTE: the sample on the the photo has fresh tomatoes around cucumber-kiwi salad, to add red color (thus more different vitamins) to it.

So, this time I was not the one to be cooking but the one to order the food.

After having a pleasant walk in the Old Town we decided to city down and enjoy the very first sun rays of this spring. And remembered a cute little cafe on a top floor with great views to the Old Town.

The sun was hot, the balcony nice and even sushi looked nice on a menu (and two youngster from a next table secured us it tasted good as well). But the sad news the yet to come. The kitchen was overriden with orders and no order were to place to food. Only drinks available.

We WERE disappointed but at least decided to enjoy a cup of chocolate.

Well, even getting this on a table took more than 25 mins!

However, together with chocolate small cute sweet and my favourite superdelicious rum cakes arrived!

It was a nice suprise to get this bonus from the waiter with apologies for such a long waiting time.

So, the sun in our hearts, which has already been covered with clouds and desicion not to come back to this place, came out again.

All in all, the fact, that SERVICE matters and even more than food got a proof yet again.

Above the picswhere I''m still waiting for a drink and the rest where everyone is enjoying rum balls ;) (look at these happy faces!)

Let's get it started! Ya iniciamos!

Over the years I've developed a taste and liking of international cuisine and cooking. I like food- I eat it, I studied it, I read books and articles about it. The most I like about food is cooking and/or making it- it's a process of creativity where I can put my ideas and aspriations into practice. There are 2 more thins I just LOVE about food- (1) sharing it and eating it together with family & firends; (2) taking photos of food. The first one just makes cooking soo much more enyoable and the latter is the source of inspiration and help me to memorize precious moments and successes (cause I'm not taking photos of food I've failed to dleiver...).

So, in this blog I share my inspiration and fun moments in my own kitchen and from markets, restaurants and cafeterias from all around the world.

If you have any comments- feel free to post them!

Durante varios anos he creado un gusto por la cocina internacional y los cocineros. Me gusta la comida- la como, la estudie, leo libros y articulos sobre comida. Lo que mas me gusta de la comida es hacerlo y/o prepararlo - paara mi es un proceso de la creavidad donde puedo poner mis ideas y aspiraciones en practica. Hay dos cosas mas que me AMO de la comida- (1) comerla junots con la familia y amigos; (2) tomar los fotos de la comida. La primera simplemente hace que cocinar sea mas agradable y la ultima es la que me da inspiracion y me ayuda a recordar los momentos mas queridos y tambien, mis exitos (por que solo tomo los fotos de la comida que me ha salido bien!).

Entonces, en este blog voy a escribir sobre mis acciones creativas en la cocina ( y de las otras personas en mi vida :)) y compartir mis inspiraciones desde los mercados, restaurantes y cafeterias en varios lugares del mundo.

En caso de que tengas comentarios, no dudes a escribirme!
