Late Night Cravings: Pho in Dalat (Vietnamese Beef Noodles, Soup Based)

Rewind back to 2009 Dec, I was in Dalat, Vietnam.
This is the only place I ever felt so relaxed for a holiday overseas.

I will share more of its beauty, time-stopping appeal, and scenic surrounds with awesome cool fresh air shortly after THIS. Now I am thinking, craving for the best Beef noodles I ever ate, and this would be in Dalat (Beef noodles as "Pho" in Vietnam, are very delicious).

It's TOTALLY yummy, no kidding

A stall hidden in market, if not for our guide recommendation, we would not have discovered such wonderful taste. I am looking forward to go back Dalat and obtain this taste again from this stall.

I am very happy to share this superb food experience with you.
Besides food experiences, Dalat offers a real retreat from busyness of life.
Time seems to pass very slowly, and if you are those who need to pack a lot into itinerary, time will stop for you, just to recharge there.

Look no more to Paris, it could be French Alps you thought you are at Dalat (City of Eternal Spring).
Your eyes will feed into the charms of nature- beautiful gardens, lakes and waterfalls.
No wonder a honeymoon hotspot, a place which flows with romantic feel.

Romantic Dining place in a restaurant

The beauty of Dalat and great way of life there, I feel encourages creativity and arts to flourish there.

There is a cafe, besides a beautiful lake with Swans. We took our time to sip very inviting vietnamese coffee , this is pure pleasure, overlooking wonderful surroundings in nice cooling weather. After, we went for a walk around, and ordered beancurd with ginger, this was the best beancurd I ever tasted too.....

Till next time I see you Dalat, I will remember how I felt so relaxed here.

Food and World

What really is Food to us?

Some of us always look forward to lunch time. (Emotional needs)
Besides Thoughts, Water and Oxygen, food is one of few items we take in daily. (Energy needs)
We enjoy eating together with family & friends (Bonding needs)
Fish's Omega-3 fatty acid is good for the heart (Health benefits)
Rashes or tiredness experienced from intake of some type of food or obesity from comfort eating (ill effects)

World in its simplest form is each of us a human.
With Food empowering us on all levels- our Emotional, Energy, Bonding needs and w/ health benefits,
We will feel and do better, as a human.

Eating food right would then empower the whole world- Big ministry!

Xin Cuisine- One place I will host overseas or local friends in Singapore

When our close friend initiated to bring us to Xin Cuisine for birthday celebration,
my first thought (based on the name), could it be Western & Chinese fusion?

On actual day, I discovered It's Chinese Cuisine with a Very relaxing ambience!
The food was very tasty- It would be one of the few places I will host my overseas or local friends to Chinese cuisine in future (Hua Ting, Tien Court, Etc).
Whatever we ordered tasted great! Be it Meat, Vegetable, Soup, Etc!

Just to entice you! lol!

The staff were friendly, provided great service, and a relaxing surrounds for family & friend gathering. One of the few restaurants I felt so relaxed!

We will be back again & again!

Be sure to check out this relaxing place with yummy Chinese cuisine @

Heavy heart after Dachau visit @ Germany

Nearly missed this, was focusing on other tours offered at Munich Central Station. Somehow it caught our eyes last moment. Good to know they accepted cards on portable handheld machine, we bought two tours- this and Neuschwanstein Castle (an inspiration for Disney castles, will share later)

The tour guide was very knowledgable and able to manage his flock of audiences well. Some traveling required as Dachau concentration camp was about 10 miles northwest of Munich. In case hungry as morning tour, there is a cafe offering reasonable priced food.

On entrance gate, "Work will set you free" (literally in death). Close to now, this camp was setup in March 1933. The first, later as a model for many other concentration camps, by National Socialist (Nazi) government. Initially for political prisoners, then Jehovah's witness, homosexuals, etc, and finally Jews (due to increased persecution). There was a gas chamber but no credible evidence of it being used to murder humans. However a process filtered off those termed as too sick or weak to continue work, and were sent to killings by euthanasia or in firing range and gallows.

Electrified barbed- wire fence

As American forces approached in April 1945, the prisoners was forced to a death march by Germans, who shot any who could not continue. However, in May, American forces liberated those prisoners. 

Heavy hearts after we left- how could we humans be that evil.
