Iceland Lobster soup

May 21, 2012 FOOD 食物, Iceland 冰島, my life 我的生活, OUR LIFE 我跟雷老公, personal 我的生活趣事, Restaurant 餐廳, travel 旅遊

Iceland famous lobster soup. Their lobster is much smaller than our New England lobster.
It is more like our crawfish. It is a great meal if you visit Iceland during colder time.
However, it is that type of soup that really really hard to eat again and again.

Try it once, like it than stop right there is my suggestion with this local soup.

Iceland’s delicacy, Puffin. I feel guilty to say but puffin is extremely delicious.
However, I won’t recommend to look at Puffin pictures than eat them, because they are super cute.

Below is Icelandic local meat, Lamb sandwich. It is light. Very very tasty.

I tried Absinth while I was in Prague.

Winter Visit to Detroit

March 3, 2012 FOOD 食物, my life 我的生活, Restaurant 餐廳, Small Trips 小小旅遊, travel 旅遊

This is a quick business trip to Detroit. My hotel is at downtown Detroit.
My suggestion to visit Detroit without a car is…bring your own breakfast.
It was so hard to find breakfast around my hotel I remember.
