Squid Lemon

I’ve been obsessed of lemon lately. From cooking, detox to skin care, lemon is my new favourite so I always make sure I have plenty of lemon at home. Today, at the supermarket, I discovered a weird-looking one and it’s called a squid lemon most probably because of its shape. I was worried I couldn’t get all the juicy goodness out of it so I stick to the normal one :-).

Local Reef Fish

When it comes to food, what I really enjoyed most during our recent Fiji holiday was my lunch of grilled local reef fish. It came with some greens and colourful Fijian lime and orange fillet, sweet papaya and avocado. It was always sooo good! So good that I had it for lunch for a couple of days!

Fijian Local Fruits

My breakfast wasn't complete without this delight: a plate of Fijian local fruits! So sweet, juicy and above all, nutritious! I specially love the distinctive taste of their papaya and their very satisfying pineapple that even the hard part in the middle is edible!

Freshest Mangoes

There’s nothing that can beat these mangoes when it comes to freshness. They look so sour but love them with spicy vinegar and salt. Makes everyone drool :). These were mangoes from the neighbors, just hanging there, very tempting.

Fruit Smoothies

Upon arrival at our hotel in the Gold Coast, we settled to have a lunch by the pool side. It was hot enough to have some cold drinks so we got ourselves the yummy mango and strawberry smoothies. Lunch was great, it was almost tropical-like!

Chocolatey Waffle with Fruits

My family's favourite at Guylian cafe is their waffle served with melted chocolate for drizzling, ice cream and some assorted fresh fruits. The plate is colourful and mouth- watering! They were all gone in just a few second!

Strawberry & Chocolate

Another temptation from Max Brenner cafe is this strawberry dip and it's obvious as to why. Strawberries are fresh and the dipping chocolate is so good, everything melts together in your mouth!

Sweet Papaya

A favorite in the house is sweet, red papaya! Not only I love it but my son who's quite picky shares the same interest in this nutritious fruit.

Fijian Desserts

Flew to Fiji to escape Australian winter. It was raining the 1st 2 days so we were stuck where there was roof and food! Not bad really.  This is a plate of delicious desserts on an Asian night buffet. That lemongrass brulee was excellent!

Strawberry Fresh

Enjoyed picking strawberries! This was from a farm that was spray-free so it was safe to eat them right away. They were so delicious!

Mango and Crackers

When I was pregnant and still felt nauseous, I could just eat dried mango and crackers! Not at all nourishing but helped me get through that phase without starving.
