We enjoy going to Germany not just because of the scenery, not just the authentic Schweinshaxe nor Bratwurst, but because of Dunkin’ Donuts. Germany has a lot of the chain spread around, but Austria has none. When we visit Berlin,…
Trattoria Ristorante Spumante: Italian Goodness in Vienna’s Charming District
One of the more charming districts in Vienna I don’t get to explore as often as the first is Gersthof, the 18th. It has a lot of little stores selling trinkets and whatnots, it’s quieter than the usually busy streets…
Thank God it’s Friday – on a Thursday…
(Thank God it’s Friday, we can go out and have fun). No winter is complete without experiencing Vienna’s biggest iceskating rink! As long as we have our thermo-gloves on, we’re good to go. The cityhall is filled with stalls selling…
Homecooked Japanese Cuisine at Kuishimbo
Winter finally manifested itself in our region…though it depends on the person wanting to view it as fortunate or otherwise. We have had an inch of snow for a 3-day downpour…and as they say it’s like winning 10 cents in…
Fall Impressions Vienna 2013
Summer’s last hurrah breezed hurriedly past us. A month in Fürth for my kids, weeks around Italy and Hungary with hubby and some days in Frankfurt for me are now all sweet memories waiting to be told on this blog….
Coffee, Tea, and Cakes at the Vienna Marriott Hotel’s Garten Café
Rarely, as mentioned earlier, do I get to go out with a friend who could accompany me around the city in the mornings. When I do, I would end up eating with her or with him somewhere. One of my…
Lunch out with the kiddos and a Rissoles recipe
School started two weeks ago and it means being out and about, buying this and that, submitting documents and whatnots and a lot more hullaballoos! I sometimes find myself lacking time to prepare decent meals not just for myself…
Brunching at Cafe Residenz Schönbrunn
Sometimes, I wish I have someone who I can always drag to go with me. Just to go about the city, gawk at the historical places, eat at all the fancy restaurants and even at the corner store selling kebap;…
Frozen Yogurt all Summer!
This year’s summer definitely came so late and was spent too short! Gone just like that and spent with rains too. On those days when it really gets hot – which I don’t complain about really, I try to get…

Wienerwald – More than just Chicken
It’s no secret that I enjoy getting lost around Vienna on purpose. I walk around a lot and often end up on streets with flower shops at the corners, hole in the wall restaurants and even old bookstores and…
Buon Cibo at D’Lounge
Chibog – it’s a slang Filipino word that could either mean food or eating. Looking through it today, I thought that maybe it originated from the Italian word for food, cibo. And it may not be impossible since Italian…

Gone Greek
The top three countries on my list to explore would be Japan, Greece and England. Yes, I’m a self-proclaimed Japanophile, Grecophile and Anglophile. ^_^ And although we plan on visiting London come summer, I am not so sure if it…
