Hello friends and readers!
I’m flying back to Asia tomorrow for 2 weeks and am ecstatic to go back to some of my favorite cities. Please let me know if you have any recommendations of places to go, bars to try, and new eats I have yet to explore! I’m sure these cities have changed a lot since the couple years I’ve been back so I’d appreciate any and all tips and suggestions.
Have a wonderful and fabulous New Year! 365 pages down, which means it’s going to be a new chapter soon–thank you for reading and supporting my blog this year!
Here’s a quick round up of my year so far in pictures:
the LUNCH LADY! her amazing broth and noodles are worth the trek to Vietnam!
eating, with minimal meditating, through South Asia with my partner in crime Mizuha!
Crab coconut stew
Afternoon tea at the iconic Peninsula Hotel, Bangkok
Strolling through Chatuchak market for some street eats
Shopping for Mizuha and I’s cooking class in Bangkok with Silom Cooking School
I actually MADE THIS PAD THAI–hard to believe right?!

Sacher Torte anyone? Visiting the lovely Vienna in the summer is seriously a dream come true

Fidelio at the Wiener Staatsoper: not sure what was more amazing, the show or the sheer beauty of the architecture
A picnic in Salzburg with my mother–literally all I want in life
Just about the most beautiful place on earth ever: a boat ride to Hallstatt felt like a scene from a movie. Absolutely unreal.

Don’t leave Taiwan without stopping by 阜杭豆漿 for traditional Taiwanese breakfast and 鼎泰豐 for their famous dumplings! Addiction Aquatic Development is also a must-visit if you like seafood. 🙂
Thank you! A belated response, but I definitely stopped by 鼎泰豐 which was amazing!! I tried to go to the seafood place you recommended but it was packed 🙂 definitely next time!!
