Lifestyle

Life in Budapest is very different from Singapore where I was born and raised. I enjoy living in Budapest as Europeans and Asians are fairly different. Culturally, language-wise makes living a little more exciting

Budapest

Budapest is a very beautiful city. It has spas, world heritage sites, interesting and weird cultures, sometimes :p This is my fifth year living here. It is here I started my family, my cooking and photography hobbies.

Photography

Visuals are very important. I love photography as it is an art that is so wonderful to enjoy from the process adnd the result. I have a cybershot camera while my husband Zsolt has a Canon D 350. Budapest is really a photogenic place with so many photo opportunities.

Bali, Plitvice Croatia, Amsterdam, Venice

We love places like these with a beach, a lake or seaside. Even Venice and Prague are both very attractive as a travel location. Our honeymoon was in Bali Indonesia, it's one of the most suitable place for couples.

Movies

We are pretty much movie buffs and I have the habit of collecting movie ticket stubs. The movies we saw are easily engraved on our minds and the good ones we blog about them.

Lecsó - Hungarian Vegetable Stew

This is the much talked about Lecsó. It consists of mainly Hungarian TV paprika (a kind of thin-skinned sweet paprika or chilli as we called it in Singapore). These type of paprika is special in its taste because it is grown in Hungary where its climate produces fresh paprika that is sweet instead of spicy hot that makes this Hungarian dish special.

It is a vegetable stew cooked together with tomatoes, onions and most importantly Hungarian szalonna (Szalonna is Hungarian for back bacon made of smoked pork fat with the rind). It is traditional in Hungarian cuisine.

A Japanese view about Budapest



The first view is Yukako Furudate's impression about Budapest. To her as a Violinist, she fell in love with Budapest just as much as I did. It was amazing how much we like about Budapest for the same things. For example, we began our friendship because we started talking about our favourite Hungarian dishes such as Lecsó.
