Le Peep



There is nothing else that feels better on a lazy Sunday afternoon than eating lunch at a place that gives you good memories with your girls. <3

Le Peep is a simple/elegant breakfast, brunch & lunch restaurant and there is only one location in Orlando. It was my first time eating at the Orlando location and the food was alright..didn't taste the same as the first time I had it elsewhere.

Austins Coffee


(picture from www.austinscoffee.com)

When I was young, every Sunday my family would pass by Austins Coffee on the way to church and I've always wondered what it was like inside. And now that I'm finally old enough to drive and wander around town, why is it that I've still continued to ignored this place? Well today was the day I thought I'd give the place a try, and when my foot stepped into the coffee shop I immediately fell in love. I enjoy going to places that have an intimate and hip feel. And surprisingly the reviews were correct, everything about this place is better than Starbucks("the Mcdonald's of coffee"). Take some time to go on their website and look at their menu, the prices aren't that bad! After I got my coffee the barista gave me a Hershey's kiss, which was very unexpected but thoughtful at the same time.

Congratulations, Austin. You've just won my heart.

Sinfully sweet

I love sweets & desserts! It's sad that Orlando doesn't offer a wider variety of unique pastry shops or restaurants that specialize in crafted desserts.

Here's a couple of places that I would like to try out:

1. Fifi's. Located in the newly developed area of South Eola district. I passed by this restaurant once and I'm curious to see what they have to offer. Jenny's cupcakes sounds delicious, though I would also love to come here for breakfast and sip on some freshly brewed coffee.

2. Dessert Lady. I had no idea this place existed until my friend brought up the name. The cafe looks very upscale (Perfect!) and the menu doesn't look like much but I'm willing to give it a try!

Delicious

A couple days ago, my sister insisted we go eat lunch at O' Boys BBQ. After hearing the word BBQ, I really didn't want to go, the only restaurant I wouldn't mind getting my hands dirty at is Ale House. But it turns out that the restaurant wasn't so bad after all. Tiffany had the hand-pulled pork sandwich and I had a char-grilled chicken sandwich w/ garlic bread and it was delicious! Their sauce goes perfect with anything, and the booths that we sat in were so comfortable. This is also a great spot for large parties because this seating arrangements were meant for families. I've always past by this restaurant but never thought of stopping by for a quick bite. I should of known that this was going to be a great restaurant considering where it's located. So if you're one of those people who love to eat at Smokey Bones, then you must give this place a try.

Loves to check out new places,

Time to part-tea


Screen print was made from Keep Calm Ltd.

It sure does. I'm one of those people who strongly believe that my system can be cleanse by a cup of tea. Also, if you're going to drink tea, please don't rush it. Each sip should be cherished to your enjoyment.

Sinfully delicious sencha blended with chamomile, hibiscus, calendula & purple mallow flowers reveals a hint of cinnamon spice.

I received a belated christmas gift from one of my favorite people in the world, thank you theresa mai! :) This is one of my favorites at Dandelion Communitea Cafe! If you also share a love for tea, then I strongly suggest that you pay a visit to this delightful cafe. What makes this cafe unique is that the store originated from a home. There are many rooms to seat yourself comfortable in, and if you're with a group of friends then you can play one of the many games they have for their customers. I've never experienced a bad time when I go there, the cafe always had a pleasant ambiance.
