    Hello everyone! This is the first time I cooked risotto and I have to say it’s so good! Haha. Actually I wanted to start making risotto because I had “Risotto allo zafferano con funghi porcini ” in an Italian restaurant and I fell in love with it. I saw that the ingredients are quite easy […]

    Hello everyone! This Sunday I checked the weather report and decided to go to this mountain – Säntis 2502m). To be honest, I’ve never heard of this mountain before seeing it in the UBS mountain offer, which is a really good advertisement for the mountains in Switzerland. I would really call this day, as my […]

I don’t know why but it seems that squid and octopus is especially popular among  children in China, or at least in my city. I guess it’s because they are chewy and without […]

    Hello everyone! In my last post I wrote about the Mountain Schynige Platte and after it, I continued my journey to Männlichen, which is not a heavily advertised mountain actually, and I only read about it on the SBB website because Sbb has 30% discount for the cable car to and from this mountain. The […]

I love this region because there are so many mountains you can either hike or take a cog railway train or cable car to go the top, and view, in a sunny or mostly sunny day, is absolutely wonderful. I’ve been […]

    Hello everyone! As I mentioned in my previous post about the Gourmesse, my friend invited me for a nice wan warm dinner, which is called raclette.
