Le Kim Chi, Ottawa

My favorite Ottawa Korean joint, for non Korean BBQ dishes, is Le Kim Chi. This is our go-to place if we are craving something easy, casual, fairly healthy and something with an Asian twist that is not a pho noodle house. The wait staff at Le Kim Chi is extremely friendly, and helpful with the menu. They've made it a pleasant experience everytime we've dined here. When CK and I come here, we pretty much order the same...

Blind Lady Ale House, San Diego

I need to thank my friend Lisa for showing me a very cool side of San Diego. My initial impression of San Diego was that it was conservative and quiet. Boy was I wrong! Lisa introduced me to pockets of cool neighborhoods like Normal Heights where there was funk and a great sense of community. On my last visit to San Diego, she introduced me to the Blind Lady Ale House, a super awesome local beer and pizza joint. Blind...

Eurostar Train Meal - London to Paris

Roger La Grenouille, Paris

We got to celebrate Super J's boyfriends's fabulous birthday while in Paris.

They serve 9 different...

Nouveau Village Chez Momo, Paris

When I got word that my REALLY REALLY good friend, Super J was in Paris, my priority was to meet up with her. We had agreed to meet up at the Saint-Michel fountain, and when we saw each other, we started screaming while hugging and dancing around in circles. I swear, it was like a scene in the movies! She was in  Paris with a group of friends, and before we joined the group, we decided to grab a quick drink, just the two of us, to...

Le Pré Aux Clercs, Paris

Destination after London was Paris! One of my favorite cities in the world. Lucky me. In the last few years, I've really come to understand how important friendships are. I've been trying hard to keep in touch with everyone that has touched my life in a meaningful way. While CK can get annoyed because it means more time spent on my phone or laptop, the upside is that there are more people to connect with while travelling! And that's exactly...
