Flam's has been around for quite some time but it wasn't until much later that we dropped by for dinner. Flam's forte is 'tarte flambee'; a very thin base pastry originating from the north-east of France particularly the region of Alsace. It is cooked in a very hot wood fired oven for a few minutes only. We knew we were in safe hands as Flam’s placed a huge wood-fired brick oven at the … [Read more...]

The event also opened our eyes to a little history on Godiva's chocolate and how it was made. Godiva Chocolatier was founded 80 years ago in Brussels, Belgium when master chocolatier Joseph Draps founded a chocolate company that was named in honor of the legend of Lady Godiva. … [Read more...]
Contrary to popular belief, we don't usually carry our DSLR around. So whenever we stumble upon some real good food, we will take pictures of the meals with our humble iPhones. These pictures have been sitting in our archive folders for quite some time and sometimes they make us melancholy for a time when we were hungry.
