Strange Dreams

Island Hopping Coffee Float

If you are a coffee/ice cream addict then this is the recipe for you! The bitterness of coffee and the aroma really go well with rich sweet ice cream. You can add salted nuts or more! scoops of ice cream if you want! 

Salty Pineapple Lassi

Lassi is one of my favorite drinks. It has a large variety of combination from plain to mango to almost any kind of tropical fruit. I would go for pineapple with a hint of salt when it gets really hot in the summer!  It'll be perfect if it comes with yummy spicy Indian curry too!

Mermaid Pearl Milk Tea

I first encountered pearl milk tea when I visited my friend in Taiwan many years ago. Since then I have been a big fan of this lovely drink. I love the chewy texture of tapiocas and the feeling of balls rolling on my tongue through a big straw :))) 

Pearly Watermelon Jelly

Watermelon is probably the most familiar fruit of all for me when I lived in Thailand. I ate it almost EVERYDAY and whenever I bought slices of it from a street vendor, I always picked the red and yellow one together. I just loved the cheerful color combination!  This color-pallete-like jelly recipe reminds me of many of the memories I experienced in Bangkok and is perfect for hot summer days!

Nimmanhaemin Road, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Nimmanhaemin Road(aka Coffee Street) is a chic and trendy area in Chiang Mai. An either side of the road, dozens of alleyways(soi's) branch out. In these sois, there are looooots of cafes, ice cream shops, galleries and lovely book shops. The best thing to do is to wander up and down the sois and see what you discover.  You can find a hidden gem around every corner!
