So Jacqueline Fernandez (I'm a fan) has opened a new restaurant Kaema Sutra at the Independence Square arcade with the overseeing of Dharshan Munidasa of the Nihonbashi and Ministry of Crab fame. When I initially heard of it, the name stuck and I thought, hmm pretty clever and cute actually. I was also pretty excited about a restaurant which claimed ...
After two glorious days at Cinnamon Habarana with my in-laws, we are BACK with a vengeance to lose the extra pounds (yet again). Of course going to a hotel on full board means some amazing food and variety that you just can't say NO to (like blue cheese!) - and Cinnamon is by far NO exception. The continental food was ...
I was pretty shocked when I saw the branding done by Leather Collection/ Cotton Collection with huge Christmas baubles with the wordings I Need...I Crave...I Desire... Seriously thought, where has the meaning of Christmas gone to? It's full of cheap marketing consumerism and women dressed as sexy santas. Eugh. I guess Jesus Christ is not 'cool' enough...Religious holidays should just ...
I always try to make it to the Kala Pola, organised by JKH because its a really good place to appreciate good local art and maybe even pick up a thing or two :D I also like taking pictures of art which really catches my eye, amidst the copies of Senaka Senanayake, George Keyt and the likes. Like this one, ...
I was always intimidated by cream cheese frosting so I never got around to making anything which I could use it on... but then A super close friends birthday came along and I decided to try something special... (also because I had cream cheese at home :) )So here's my recipe with a few tweaks (from lanka) Best Red ...
Its been weddings galore really... from December till End of January (for now) and I'm really tired!!! But nevertheless, which girl hates a beautiful wedding!?! but the entire year is filled with weddings of good friends... what is a wedding really, other than 2 people embarking on a mysterious adventure of discovery... and us, their awesome friends making it a ...
1. What's morning sickness like?I have no idea. Never had it. I think MS depends on person to person and I was one of the lucky ones to never have it. I was instead nauseous for the whole first-trimester. The smell of Thai or Chinese food made me want to hurl. Hubby used to force-feed me so I would eat. ...
So my friend is heavily pregnant, and her sister and I decided to throw a baby shower...I've been wanting to try out this amazing cake that I keep seeing on blogs, the Ombré cake... What is Ombré you ask... well that was my question too... Basically, it is just a fancy name (french of course) for faded.... I made a ...
Time spent at the Dilmah t-Lounge (DTL) is just pure pleasure. No this isn't some sort of paid post (though Good Times would LOVE to get into that! Teehee)... I just really love the place.Starting off with the little things...it's Valentines weekend apparently and the place was already decked up with little classy touches of rose, red and pink. I ...

Yet as Claire Robinson went on convincing me that I HAD TO BAKE THIS MUFFIN, I was thinking BARF! I.HATE.BANANAS!!! BLEURGHHH!!! so what goes well with bananas >>> YAY CHOCOLATE!!! Everything chocolate is a WIN ...
Aside from the ones given to family and good friends, real hugs are pretty hard to find. You have the peck on the cheek while holding the shoulders kind of hug, the check to check kiss-half hug, then the half-hearted hug, then the worst one, the awkward hug. I recently met a musician friend of Hubs at La Fiesta and ...
We ventured up to Kalpitiya a few weekends ago since a few of us hadn't gone dolphin or whale watching at all. The drive itself is not too bad, being just 3 hours or so away from Colombo... but travelling with a 5mo old is an entirely different operation! She is generally a non-fussy baby but 3 hours cramped in ...
Hello world... :D Sorry we've both been quiet for the past few days... (MONTHS) its been a busy couple of weeks (months).... But I've been baking and cooking and freezing and frying and icing :D so I was bored one day... what do I do when I get bored and fidgety ?! I bake!!! Made a pavlova. Came out quite ...

I think its because no one has time to really say how much they love one another!Valentines day doesn't really need to be about your "lover" it is everyone and everything around you!!!Why can't we just love! unconditionally! unrestrained! ...
I've started subscribing to all things food recently, be it bite-sized (pun intended) recipe how-to videos on FB and foodie channels on Instagram and on and on. This makes me super hangry most of the time BUT also inspires me to get into the kitchen to try my hand at a few of them. One such recipe is the "Key ...
Been a very very long time since I wrote something on the blog... :) But moving and being busy doesn't really help. So becoming vegetarian (again) wasn't really something I saw my self being capable of doing, because come on Australia has so much of wine, and with wine comes cheese and cold cuts.. But once I put my mind ...
I received a mail today from a friend about "LIGHT UP A LIFE" this Christmas - Kiddies party organised by the Rotary Club . I dutifully forwarded the mail to my colleagues and something my colleague said brought a tear to my eye.... and I quote "OK I know how my sons Face light up when we take him places ...
