Kalbi Beef

September 8, 2008

During those pre-cooking days before I discovered that cooking is actually not too difficult and scary, we used to eat out a lot. One of our favorite haunt is the Korean restaurant.

Grilled Steak

September 2, 2008

For dessert, one of my favorite – [...]

That is why I have been thinking about investing in the property market as a long term investment. With the low house prices nowadays, it might be a good time to invest. A friend has [...]
