Hotspot: Oriental Express

-
EN

Coming from an Asian background, it’s most likely you’ll get involved with ‘yam cha’ & dim sum with la family. Mine started at a quite young age, which I would recall a quite happy childhood experience c:

Recently me and la family went to a dim sum restaurant: Oriental Express in the city Rotterdam.

The food: lots of choices and well balanced! (some were too balanced..)
I like that their food isn’t super salty because I had restaurants where the food tasted like they’ve add kilo’s of salt in the food… poor kidney I hear you say, yes.

I also like their interior which was in a modern oriental style. I was enjoying my food on a nice sofa c:

Als een geboren Chinees is het zeer waarschijnlijk dat je je al op jonge leeftijd betrokken wordt bij 'yam cha' en dim sum met je familie. En dankzij dat, zijn mijn smaakpupillen optimaal ontplooid, ha.  

Onlangs gingen ik en la familie naar een dim sum restaurant: Oriental Express in Rotterdam.

Het eten: ruime keuze en smaak is goed uitgebalanceerd! Ook heel fijn om te proeven dat ze zuinig zijn met de zoutmolen. Ik heb vaak bij Chinees restaurant gegeten waar het eten onnodig zout was. Mijn arme niertjes were not pleased..

Oriental Express liet de interieur niet links liggen en vond het persoonlijk er best chill uitzien! Ik heb keurig mijn bord kom opgesmikkeld op een bankje c:

This hot coconut latte with cereal is a treat. Although I find it more suitable as breakfast.  
I'll try their greentea latte next time c; 

Seafood undon soup c: was yum! 

I was super excited that they have 'sweet potato buns' on their menu but honestly its a let down 
with bland flavor :c

    The seafood undon soup looks amazing! Yumm! So does the coconut latte with cereals, but I agree that it seems more suited for a good nice weekend breakfast :) Pity about the sweet potato buns, it looked promising though. Have a nice week ahead!

    Omg you're making me so hungry. Seafood udon is one of my favourite dishes when we eat out and I'm completely ok that it's mostly MSG that makes it delicious!

    Food looked great! I loved the udon seafood soup! Sooo full of things! Just how I like it! I think the sweet potato was maybe just in the flour bun? That's disappointing, i'd think that they'd make a paste and then fill the bun with it at least!

    Too bad the sweet potato bun was bland. It looks really pretty with its lavender color. ):

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten.
