There are also chocolate bonbons (I love the assortiment de croquants au praliné) and slices of pound cakes (Ispahan, Infiniment Citron, Orphéo)...overseen by PH Taiwan's executive chef Hugo Ravier.

Just a 10-minute walk from our hotel is @neel_jing Just a 10-minute walk from our hotel is @neel_jingumae, a tiny little cafe tucked into a tiny little alley. The weather was that morning was perfect for sitting out at one of the sun-dappled tables, where we shared lemonade, cold brew, katsusando (pork cutlet sandwich), and a sugar butter crepe for breakfast. I heard there can be a wait out the door here later during the day, but at 10:30am, it was just us for the most part, easy and quiet... 距離我們所住的飯店步行10分鐘左右即可抵達neel，一間躲在小小巷弄裡的小小cafe。那天天氣完美，舒適的溫度和濕度，適合坐戶外。早餐是豬排三明治、可麗餅、檸檬汽水、冷萃咖啡，還有透過樹葉稀疏灑在桌上的春日陽光。聽說這裡到了下午要排隊，不過在這個早晨，有好一陣子都只有我們一家人獨享小巷弄裡的安靜悠閒...

It happened to be Vegan Wednesday, and the pop-up by @poskitchen_somewhere was just lovely. Vegan burger assembled from highland barley and chickpea patty, alfalfa sprouts, chickpea mayonnaise, avocado, chilli beans...paired with a glass of sparkling natural wine, an ideal lunch for me any day. The space and the people here were stylish in an understated way, and thankfully the girls behaved accordingly - Em enjoyed her vegan pineapple muffin and playing with ice cubes in her glass, while El was just happy to be out, staring wide-eyed at everything she came across. No one made a fuss. What a perfect little episode. 抵達東京的第二天大雨，躲入Down the Stairs by Arts&Science。正好遇上一週一次的Vegan Wednesday，有 @poskitchen_somewhere 的全素漢堡（大麥和鷹嘴豆做成的漢堡排，堆疊上苜蓿芽、鷹嘴豆美乃滋、酪梨、辣豆...），配上一杯自然氣泡酒，是對我來說非常理想的午餐。店內的氣氛和人皆優雅而內斂，連前來用餐的名人都低調到我完全沒認出（事後才聽A說）。感謝兩小配合，Em吃完vegan pineapple muffin後安靜玩著杯子裡的冰塊，El醒來後睜大雙眼看著周遭一切，不哭不鬧。完美的一刻。 #tokyo #downthestairs #artsandscience #aoyama

Finally visited this little gem of a tea house @zh Finally visited this little gem of a tea house @zhaozhaotea_tw in Taichung thanks to @jimmy_limty @jlstudio_tw. A little oasis where Taiwanese tea is roasted and brewed meticulously, then enjoyed in a laid-back atmosphere, perfect even for amateur tea drinkers like myself. Scott, the shop owner, is warm and generous in sharing his tea knowledge, but only when solicited and not at all in an overbearing way. It is all very, very relaxing. I particularly enjoyed a Taiwanese white tea on the menu, full of floral and fruity surprises with each sip, the notes blossoming on the palate like flowers from an early spring...
These photos are from when I received the @ferrand These photos are from when I received the @ferrandiparis French Pâtisserie book early last year and was inspired to relive my pastry school moments by redoing every recipe in the book...huh, I wonder whatever happened to that ambition! But anyway, I stumbled across the photos and they reminded me that winter really is the perfect season for simple pastries like tarte aux pommes and tarte bourdaloue, served warm, their golden aroma permeating the air. It's time to get back to the basics and start baking again. (Photo 5 is a mini tartelette for mini Em.)
Lunch at Holt a few weeks back, a transition of se Lunch at Holt a few weeks back, a transition of seasons. It was already early November, but the temperature in Taipei remained balmy, so it seemed rather appropriate to have refreshing flavors from the lingering summer, like those dainty little smoked marckerel tartelettes with tomatoes and shiso, or that ethereal sliver of sea bream with tosazu jelly and bee pollen. As the menu progressed, we were tenderly swept into autumn by a gently cooked abalone with morels and vin jaune, a porridge of oyster blanketed in dill sabayon, ending with a warm dessert plate of overripe persimmons, charred milk ice-cream and cider sabayon...poetry on a plate. The flavors, temperatures, and textures were handled with precision, as expected from a fine restaurant as Holt, but the whole affair was also endlessly comforting, which made the experience all the more charming... @holtrestaurant @jeffdownss @kuansyi

Since Em's baby sister will be arriving two days b Since Em's baby sister will be arriving two days before her actual birthday this year, we decided to celebrate early. It was too last minute to buy a cake, so we made our own Basque cheesecake - simple, delicious, and super fun to make with toddlers (recipe below). Happy 3rd birthday my little munchkin, keep smiling and don't grow up too fast 😌. Basque Cheesecake Cream cheese...300g Sugar...85g Egg...100g Cream...160g Cake flour...13g Salt & vanilla paste...1/4 tsp each Cream together cream cheese and sugar with paddle attachment until smooth. Add beaten eggs bit by bit, followed by cream, salt & vanilla paste, and sifted cake flour, be sure not to overmix. Pour batter into 6-inch cake mold lined with parchment paper, then bake in preheated 200C oven for 35-40 minutes, until the surface obtains a lovely brown color (the center will still be jiggly but will settle once cooled). Cool completely and rest overnight in the fridge. Enjoy the next day!

For our second night in Yame Fukuoka, we stayed at For our second night in Yame Fukuoka, we stayed at The Washi Room. It occupies a 1800s warehouse of two floors, which has been thoughtfully renovated by @craftinn_te and furnished with beautiful crafts from local artisans. “Washi” means Japanese paper, and the entire space is adorned with different washi paper art, and there is even an entire bookshelf of books curated around crafts - One can easily spend an entire day indoor browsing through these! More details on the blog, link in profile. 在福岡八女的第二晚，我們入住了 Craft Inn 的和紙房。和紙房由一幢獨立的雙層老屋所改造，最原始的建築似乎是19世紀中期就蓋好的，相當有歷史。顧名思義，和紙房裡有許多和紙的元素，一樓起居室的整面牆都由書架組成，上面擺放著各種跟日本工藝、藝術相關的書籍。若時間充裕，能在這裡待上好一陣子慢慢翻書，細細品味。 更多細節在部落格上，連結請看首頁。

We stayed at 6 different lodgings on our Kyushu ro We stayed at 6 different lodgings on our Kyushu roadtrip, and the two nights at @craftinn_te really stood out as something special. Located in Yame, a small historical town about an hour drive from Fukuoka, Craft Inn specializes in renovating old houses and tastefully decorating them with furniture and tools made using local materials and techniques. It is the perfect way to experience staying amongst Kyushu’s crafts, re-imagined to suit modern lifestyles. We first stayed at The Indigo Room, which is housed in a building that was previously a grocer, a pottery store, and a pawn shop, facing the Main Street of the Yame Fukushima district. As the name indicates, this room features everything indigo – indigo tapestry, floor cushions, pillows, coasters…even the wooden table has been indigo dyed!

@pierrehermeofficial macarons will always be a fav @pierrehermeofficial macarons will always be a favorite. What a pleasant surprise to encounter them at Naha Airport on this last trip, and be able to take home a box of shikuwasa (a citrus local to Okinawa) macarons. It's been a few years since I last had a PH macaron, the texture and flavors are still so...perfect! On a related note, Pierre Hermé's autobiography "Toutes les saveurs de la vie" has been a super fun read, don't miss it if you are a fan of this legend. 在沖繩機場準備離境時，巧遇Pierre Hermé的甜點店。由於店名是用日文的片假名拼寫的，一開始還有點懷疑 - 這真的是PH的店嗎？走近看櫥窗里的甜點，才確認無誤 😍。 搭飛機不方便提太多甜點，只好乖乖收起貪心，僅外帶了一小盒沖繩機場限定的 「shikusawa 香檬」 馬卡龍。小心翼翼地一路提回家（冰袋包裝好，絲毫沒損壞），配著熱茶靜靜享用。 一口咬下去，牙齒所感受到的微阻力和瞬間酥軟的口感，竟然讓我有些感動。以前在巴黎生活時經常去PH買甜點，當時被自己當作理所當然、甚至有點吃到無感的馬卡龍，多年後巧遇，又再度體會到了它的美好。有人說吃不懂馬卡龍的甜，然而對我來說一顆好的馬卡龍的確是甜（配方使然），但絕不是死甜，其中包含了富有層次的小宇宙，有著濃郁風味和與之匹配的美妙口感。這麼多年來，最愛的馬卡龍，果然還是PH家的。 最近正好在看Pierre Hermé的自傳 - 「Toutes les saveurs de la vie」。這位甜點傳奇從自己小時候的故事開始說起，用樸實而真誠的文字敘述了一路走來的歷程，非常精彩。其中他提到的很多甜點創作，比如已經成為經典的Ispahan、2000 Feuilles千層派等，都是曾經在巴黎嘗過、寫過的，現在得以通過書窺探到他的創作過程，太有趣了。也很喜歡看他在廚房裡接受的歷練，不論是挫敗或是成功，都是不停地自我突破的過程，對於甜點師（或其他行業的人）來說能得到很多共鳴... 很久沒看法文書了，進度緩慢，但樂在其中。若要中文版本，書名是「PIERRE HERMÉ蛋糕上的櫻桃：當代甜點傳奇皮耶・艾曼的12堂人生風味課」，甜點人不要錯過啦。
Waking up amidst an ethereal fog at KAI Aso ☁️ Waking up amidst an ethereal fog at KAI Aso ☁️. Stayed here 7 years ago and loved it, didn't take much to decide to come back again. This 12-year-old onsen resort shows some signs of wear and tear, but these did not detract from the overall experience. The most attractive feature for me here, then and now, is the outdoor onsen at each villa, which offers an intimate and uninterrupted conversation with nature. The fragrance of the woods, the caress from the breeze, and the melodious chirping from birds during early morning (do turn on the sound for # 4 clip)...what a treat to be able to soak up all this. 旅行時難免遇到不完美，比如這次在九州的天氣。繼由布院的連環大雨後，我們在阿蘇遇上了大霧，某些路段能見度大約才20m，開車都要格外小心。到了應該很美的景點，即使睜大了眼也看不出個什麼所以然來，於是乾脆一路開到了當晚要入住的飯店 – 界 阿蘇 KAI Aso。 界 阿蘇是個藏在山林里的隱秘之境，僅由12間別墅客房組成。我七年前跟朋友來住時就非常喜歡，這次與A先生和Em同行，沒多想就決定再來體驗一次。 飯店的設計理念為「木と石の溫かさ」，木與石的確是空間內顯而易見的構成元素，比如大廳兩側的巨大石牆與質感溫潤的木質傢具。抵達時，入口處的火爐已點上，噼里啪啦的火焰聲很有ASMR的解壓效果。透過大片玻璃看出去是掛著霧氣的樹林，深入山林的感覺，對於城市人來說無比舒緩、療愈。 跟上一次介紹的界 由布院相比，2011年就開幕的界 阿蘇已有一些歷史了，在硬體上可以看出歲月的痕跡，但不影響整體體驗。設計不摩登炫目，但絕對溫暖舒適，讓人感覺像在自家般放鬆。 其中最吸引我的部分，是每棟別墅都配置的戶外溫泉。阿蘇的中嶽是活火山，所帶來的地熱造就了附近大量的優質溫泉。由於飯店地點僻靜，每間客房都可以獨享無人打擾的森林，是完全屬於自己的私密空間，泡湯時耳里聽著清脆鳥鳴（# 4影片請務必開聲音），和大自然融為一體。 第二天醒來時，窗外的樹林仍裹著薄霧，意境迷幻。可以想象隨著四季更迭，能在這里欣賞到不同的景色...
從Em摸得到廚房台面開始，我就帶著她 從Em摸得到廚房台面開始，我就帶著她一起做甜點，從聖誕限定的薑餅人，到每個週末的早餐鬆餅。她熱愛攪拌、揉捏麵團，我也很享受跟她一起的甜點時光，即使成品亂七八糟也無所謂。   上週受邀參加Lexus的小小星級甜點師活動，原本想帶Em一起去玩，可惜當天因故無法前往...沒想到居然有機會能將食材帶回自家完成，度過了甜美的午後。   Lexus的「小小系列」是辦給車主小朋友的活動，去年邀請到一星餐廳MUME的創辦人林泉帶小朋友一同領略廚藝，今年則是開設「小小星級甜點師」課程，食譜由二星餐廳JL Studio的甜點師韓慧婷所設計。   層次豐富的「紫花塔」結合了藍莓和紫地瓜的風味，「蘭姆葡萄派對」是酥脆的沙布列餅乾與蘭姆奶油霜的組成。紫花塔的擠花難度對兩歲多的小孩來說實在太高（活動是設計給9-13歲小孩的），我趁著Em睡覺時一人安靜完成（很療癒 😌），餅乾就非常適合帶著Em一起做，桿麵、壓模、擠花等步驟讓她玩得不亦樂乎，在烤箱前迫不及待等待餅乾出爐的樣子讓人覺得又好笑又可愛。   經常帶著Em做甜點，不是要女兒跟隨自己的路成為甜點師，僅僅是珍惜母女能的共同興趣，希望她長大後還會願意跟我一起攪和。謝謝Lexus的精心安排，很期待明年的小小系列又會開設怎麼樣的課程呢？ @lexus_taiwan #Lexus #小小星級甜點師

Murata Fusho-an is a soba specialty restaurant ope Murata Fusho-an is a soba specialty restaurant operated by another one of Yufuin’s top onsen ryokan, Murata. Up on a quiet hill of its own, the vibe is calm and casual, with soothing green views out its windows. The specialty of the shop is black pork soba, with fatty pork belly braised so soft they disintegrate at the chopsticks, accompanied by fragrant soba noodles bathing in a soup base that’s flavorful without being too rich. If looking for more variety, the ooyako-don (chicken and egg over rice) and soba ice-cream were also delectable. After lunch, we strolled by Murata’s select shop Shoho Zosetsu, where I found some beautiful ceramic ware to bring home with, and, at the recommendation of another guest, bought a jar of mustard seeds marinated in soy sauce, which turned out to be an excellent accompaniment for pork and lamb dishes. Murata has a large collection of shops, including “b-speak” for cakes, “theomurata” for chocolates, “the theo” for coffee, “artegio” for art…just be sure to check their operation hours before visiting as they are not open on a daily basis. Murata不生庵是由由布院另外一家御三間 “無量塔” 所開設的蕎麥麵店，地點距離熱鬧的金鱗湖步行25分鐘/開車7分鐘。位於山崖旁的小麵館環境幽靜，一眼望出去綠意盎然。 店裡的招牌是黑豚蕎麥面，黑豚五花肉部位滷得軟嫩入味，湯頭也鮮美不膩口，蕎麥麵的香氣與顆粒感很不錯。另外加點的親子丼和蕎麥冰淇淋也讓人滿意。 順帶一提，無量塔也有自己的選物店 “匠鋪藏拙”，我在這里買到了自己喜愛的杯盤，還被現場一位熟客推薦了醬油漬芥末籽，帶回家配豬肉、羊肉類料理真的超絕。 旅館另外還有蛋糕店 “b-speak”、巧克力專賣店 “theomurata”、咖啡廳 “the theo”、美術館 “artegio” 等…一系列品牌，有時間的話可以一家家吃/逛過去。（但要注意營業時間，免得撲空。）
Sabo Tenjo Sajiki, operated by one of Yufuin’s t Sabo Tenjo Sajiki, operated by one of Yufuin’s top three onsen ryokan “Kamenoi”, is a cafe renovated from an old wine cellar. The interior is dimly lit with a stylish vintage vibe, every window and lamp seem to have their own stories. We were seated in a quiet corner on the second floor, where we could have our little nook to recover from the heavy rain. The cafe is most popular for its coffee and house-made desserts, but we started with the savories. Though the selection wasn’t huge, each dish we ordered was delicious: shiso pesto pasta, red wine-braised beef, and katsu (fried pork cutlet) sandwich. The meal on a sweet note with a creamy cheesecake and house blend coffee. Perfect. More details on the blog, link the bio. 茶房 天井棧敷是一間由老酒窖改造而成的咖啡館，由由布院頂級溫泉旅館、“御三間” 其中一所 “龜之井” 所開設。店內光線幽暗，空間陳設有時光倒流的復古感，每扇窗戶、每盞小燈，都似乎有自己的故事。 由於離金鱗湖很近，很多人會在逛完湖畔後來喝杯咖啡休息片刻。我們因為還未吃午餐，所以先點了幾道鹹食。選擇不多，但樣樣美味 - 紫蘇青醬義大利麵、紅酒燉牛肉、炸豬排三明治...最後以起司蛋糕和House Blend黑咖啡做收尾，完美。 服務也頗為細致，服務生幫我們收妥了嬰兒推車，並為安排了不會影響到其他客人的閣樓位子，讓飢腸轆轆而且被大雨淋濕的我們有了自己安靜的小角落能慢慢回神。更多細節請看部落格，連結在首頁。 @tenjosajiki_1985 #kyushu #kyushutrip #yufuin #cafe #九州 #九州旅行 #由布院 #茶房 #天井棧敷
