Sadlerino

-

Sadlerino is the sister of high end restaurant Sadler.   It is chic 'n quick.   My guide '111 Places in Milan that You Must See' names it a fast food trattoria.  But I rate it highly.  It is a decent restaurant with creative and nice food.  We visited Sadlerino at lunch.  It charged 21 Euro for two-course meal and a dessert (excluding drinks).  The food was superb.   I am sure you will pay the same price in the centre of Milan, for a plate of microwaved pasta and a mixed salad in any uninspired bar.  So, try Sadlerino.


Once inside Sadlerino, one feels comfortable and welcome.  White table cloth and innovative glasses, like a piece of cherry sitting at the bottom.


We were served with a basket of different bread, nicely baked.  Normally, nice bread tells that the food next will be fabulous.



I had a seafood soup served with millet.  Very nice.  The millet was filling at the end.  My friend's menu includes gnocci with butter and sage.   I was seduced and succumb, eating a few pieces. His main dish was rabbit served with potato. Tender and delicious!


He still had a apple strudel and mine was mojito sorbet. We were very satisfied and had a delightful walk along the canal and then visited the Mudec.


It was cloudy before we entered into Sadlerino.  Then there was bright sunshine.  So blessed!  Good food and the sun!

Kbal Spean

Kbal Spean is a unique archaeological site situated 50km from the Siem Reap.   Religious stone cravings sit on the river banks and bed, 150m stretch of the Stung Kbal Spean River.     Kbal Spean is commonly known as the "Valley of a 1000 Lingas " or "The River of a Thousand Lingas". Lingas are phallic representations sacred to Brahmanism.   It is a symbol of fertility.   Hundreds of them are carved into the rock of the river.   Other carvings include gods such as Vishnu , Shiva , Brahma and animals. To appreciate the beautiful carvings in the nature, one has to climb a trek for around 30 minutes.   Exhausted but worthwhile. Reclining Vishnu is often the theme of carvings.   Others include Shiva and Uma mounted on the bull, Brahma on a lotus petal and still others which I can't figure out exactly. Animals, lingas, yoni dot here and there.            Downdream ...

15 June 2012 HK Heritage Museum - Hakka Women It has been more than 10 years that I haven't been to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum .  Today, a Picasso exhibition brought me back.  Hmm, a Spanish artist associating with the Chinese heritage.  It's a special event of the French May .  It drew a lot of people to the museum, though a bit remote.  People, family speaking different languages crowded at the venue.  Picasso 's paintings shown were across his different periods.  Many photos of him and friends were also shown. Hong Kong Heritage Museum is unique in providing the history of Hong Kong, featuring Hakka (Guest family) migration, as a fishing village, the traditional Cantonese opera as the integral parts of Hong Kong's heritage, history and culture. During the reign of Yongzheng and Qianlong of Qing Dynasty (18th century), people were encouraged to utilise wasteland for farming.  A big demographic shift of residen...

Marshal Zen Garden Beitou 北投少帥禪園

Image
Marshal Zen Garden was built during the Japanese-colonised period of the 1920's.  It was renowned for the hot spring and was used as the entertainment hub of the Japanese pilots during the end of the World War II. In the 1960's, it was used to confine Marshal Chang Xue-liang and his wife Zhao Di. We checked in in our hotel Double Inn and was driven there.  The environment is very soothing with a lot of green, flowers and typical Japanese set up. We first enjoyed our afternoon tea after travelling straight from Alishan to Chiayi to Taipei. You can visit the Zen Garden if you hold a booking of  the tour, hot spring or restaurant. It was very nice to enjoy the afternoon in its tea house  小六茶舖. It's cosy and the food was superb, good value for the money. NTD900 for two. Marshal Chang and his wife were detained at the Zen Garden for decades.  Though it was years ago, the exhibition of his room, photos and his life made me feel...
