~ A Michelin Starred Mother's Day Meal at LA DEGUSTATION BOHÊME BOURGEOISE ~
HASHTALSKA 753/18, PRAGUE 11000

Our last night in Prague was the eve of Mother's Day. In Malaysia, we celebrate Mother's Day on May 13 (the same as the USA), a good 2 months later than the UK, which is handy because the British occasion reminded and gave me ample time to plan how to treat my mummy dearest. I mentioned in my previous post that our weekend trip to Prague was a mother-daughter holiday and that we were eating at only Michelin-star restaurants in an effort to dodge the stodge. I'd heard great things about La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise - the Michelin starred restaurant and flagship of the popular Ambiente restaurant chain. Our meal was memorable - not necessarily for the right reasons - but it certainly made for hilarity. Curious? Read on for my review of one of Prague's most highly acclaimed gastronomical destinations...

A Weekend In Prague, Czech Republic.


Czech You Out! 

Life lately in the British Isles feels like being caught between a rock and a hard Brexit. With a coalition of chaos* looking less likely than a deal with the hard-lining devil, I'm becoming increasingly disillusioned about my life in the UK. On especially dark days the home I've made in London seems like it's been reduced to a mere gateway to city breaks in Europe. Speaking of long weekends in the EU and the Dark Ages**, recently my mum popped over to see the medieval monuments of Prague. Mummy dearest had never been to Czech Republic, or Czechia as it's now supposed to be called, so naturally I wanted to show her around. It was the very least I could do, given that my parents cultivated my love for travel from a young ageMummy had to fly a long way (13 hours from Kuala Lumpur to London, then 2 hours to Prague) for a short trip, so I crammed the highlights into a showreel of sightseeing and Michelin star restaurants. Just as well that Prague is one of Europe's more compact and walkable cities, but don't just take my word for it - Czech it out!

*I like my men how I like my parliament: hung. (no, not really)
**I mean, I'm somewhat conservative but geez, these lot make me look like a SJW. 🙄

Little Girl vs. World, a 7 year old's Europe road trip throughout Brussels, Rome, Florence, Venice, Disneyland Paris, Lucerne, Bavaria, and Holland


Hashtag like it's 1993: The Wanderlust is Strong in this Little One

One of the places I've been retreating to is memories of my childhood: a simpler time, carefree and untainted by troubled thoughts, when my greatest fear was not being able to take my favourite stuffed toys - I had 2 plush turtles: a small one with a yellow, red, and blue shell; and a oversized pastel pink one - with me to dinner. In the spirit of #THROWBACKTUESDAY (is that still a thing? I wouldn't know, I've been AWOL from the internet for, like, forever) here are some photos from my earliest travels which might be the catalyst for my serial wanderlust, and also proof that I've been throwing shapes since before social media was a thing. Are travel bloggers born or made? Take a look at 7 year old me, then decide.
