That Girl With A Camera

Introducing The Food Diaries - sharing my food experiences through photographs and a few words. A few weeks ago, I went to a ramen restaurant and it was a-ma-zing! Koppu has been on my wishlist for sometime now and it did match the expectations I had. For starters, we ordered some gyozas , tebasaki and shitake mushrooms. I had the gyozas and they were perfect; the meat inside was juicy, the noodle/outer shell (whatever you call that part) was soft and it was overall a very good start to our meal. I also tried the tebasaki : fried chicken wings, the touch of sesame seeds and soy sauce made them delicious. (The comments on the mushrooms were also very positive.) On to the main dish: ramen!! I had the tan tan men original ramen, the spiciest on the menu (I would have used a little tiny bit more spicy sauce but that's just me). The noodles were perfect, the pork was very tasty and the broth was absolutely delicious!!! You can't go wrong with this o

Macau. My Home. The place in the world where it feels most like Home to me. Where I was born and lived until I was 9 years old. Despite having lived most of my life in Lisbon, Macau will always feel like Home. A happy place. I returned to Macau for the first time in 2016. I spent 17 years dreaming of my return.

Albus demanded I take him to the Ruins of St. Paul's Church. Alleyways with mixed architectural elements.  Temple and incense.  Last time I visited, this temple was already closed. Finally, I did get in and look around. Not that I am a fan of casinos, but The

Here it is, second part of my stay in Hong Kong, last summer. My friends know me well and they took me out for the most local and authentic food. Dim sum is one of my favourite things ever and this one, at a market in Hong Kong, was de-li-ci-oooous! Plus, I got to see the master at its craft! Hong Kong has so many street art, you just have to look for it. Albus and I went to visit an old prison (he did feel a little odd, remembering his stay in Azkaban and all). Shiba 💜 The best way to end the day? Late afternoon hike! Yay!! Albus enjoyed the view. My last activity in Hong Kong was visiting the Big Buddha in Lantau Island. Upon arriving, I wasn't sure if I should go to the Buddha first and then do the hike or the other way around. I'm glad I did the Buddha first. Scroll down the photos and you'll see why. And this scenery was just...wow! To
