What's better than enjoying a glass of beer?
- Having a good company to drink with you.

The first two photos were taken at Ho Chi Minh -- a nice beer goes well a rich flavor bowl of Pho Bo and an iced cold one on its own.



















I ended carrying four cans of beer from Vancouver to Hong Kong because I want to savour them slowly back home.

Black Canyon Coffee, Bangkok - December 2006

Black Canyon Coffee is a local coffee and restaurant chain in Bangkok with outlets in shopping centers and skytrain stations. If you enjoy a rich & dark roast coffee, and need a short break from your shopping in Bangkok, this is the place to be. They have several kinds of coffee to choose from, and two of them are labeled using the name of chain: Black Canyon and Blue Canyon. I can't remember the exact description of Blue Canyon coffee, but Black Canyon is a very dark Arabic roast coffee. With the coffee, they also serve a glass of lemongrass (?) tea and some biscuits.

Our Favourite Breakfast Place in the World - Secret Garden
(Vancouver, April 2007) by H

Secret Garden is a small tea house located in nice neighorhood of Kerrisdale of Vancouver. Open everyday from 8am, Secret Garden serves an excellent breakfast selection from homemade Gammy's apple pancakes, Simplicity Platter, cheese scones etc. The place is also famous for its selection of tea, from creamy earl grey, Secret Garden's Secret, Queen Mary, fruit and herbal tea, Rooiboos Tea to green tea. I am not a tea drinker myself, but everytime I visit Secret Garden, I would still savour different tea there. Secret Garden is also open for lunch, high tea and dinner. While we have tried lunch which serves quality sandwich dishes, we have yet to try out its high tea which also attracts a crowd of ladies and gents.

Secret Garden is highly recommended and we believe it's one of the top 10 reasons to visit Vancouver.
