Julstämning

Nu närmar sig julen med stormsteg. Julmarknader, glögg, pepparkaksbak.. Ja allt som hör julen till. Det luktade nybakade pepparkakor i huset när jag vaknade. Helt underbart. Och sen baboom!

Simply Thai

Fish cake, vegetarian spring rolls and chicken. All downed with some Margaritas;)One of my first favourites in Shanghai, and it still tastes as good as it did in the beginning of 2000.  Back then there weren’t that many none Chinese restaurants. So it was always a nice change to eat something different. Even if I … Läs mer
