Whenever i see the dark green box of After 8 chocolate mints something comes over me and i grab my self a box for me to enjoy later. It is not the best tasting chocolate on earth but there is something different about it’s dark colors and posh feel and it’s tangy minty taste is [...]

One thing worth lugging all the way from London is this amazing coffee machine Tassimo. Yes we at home have more than one brand of coffee machines (check here) and we are hopeless coffeeholics.

Whenever it’s Christmas time in London Thorntons chocolatier make those little chocolate boxes.

One cupcake store i am quite fond of in London is Lola’s Cupcakes. After a long day of shopping in Selfridges i always make sure i stop by Lola’s Cupcakes corner in Selfridges Food Hall, stand in line and choose some cupcakes for the trip back home… As i am standing in line i had [...]

Last summer a new little booth popped up in Bicester Village that sells Crêpes. I tried them the last time i was in Bicester and i could see where there is a long winding queue leading to the little cash register… the smell of crêpes freshly made in front of you… the choices… watching people grasp bubbling hot [...]

If there is one chocolate that defines my 80′s childhood… it’s Kakaw Bu Nathara!!! How we loved the little foil packaging that looks like glasses… how we held them up against our eyes and looked through the little holes… how we popped the little sugar & colour coated chocolates happily and ate them… i don’t think they [...]

Whenever i see this yellow box with it’s funny happy rabbit i am pulled back in time to the days of my childhood.
