Bali: Bedugul

Sprinkles – From Clarence Ville
Last year, a good friend brought back half-a-dozen Red Velvet cupcakes (light chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting) from Sprinkles in San Francisco (Palo Alto, to be exact) for me to try. Lucky me! Otherwise, it may be a very long time coming before
Pig’s Trotters In Vinegar
My sister-in-law’s mom-in-law made this for my niece’s one-month old party and it was delicious. It was cooked in the sweet-ish style that I like (as opposed to the sourish sort). I have to learn how to make this! While I
Look Pet, A Cat!
If I ever decide to keep a pet, it will have to be a CAT. I have even thought of possible names! Like ‘Kimchi’. Or ‘Ninja’. Or my childhood favourite, ‘Socks’. On the way to breakfast on Sunday, we saw this beautiful cat
