ZUMA Brunch

Oh my....I don't have words to describe how amazing this brunch was.....and the price....so reasonable...just WOW....so they have two seatings, we went to the one from 11:00am until 13:00....
Zuma Brunch

There were two starter buffets.....one just colds and one a mixture...let me start with the cold: So many different Sushi and Sashimi....and so fresh...just so WOW. Salmon, Yellow Tail, Prawns....and then an amazing array of Sushi, ones with eel, ones with salmon, ones with yellow tail, crunchy crab, you name it and they looked and tasted so damn good, I think I could have just enjoyed the two buffets and that was that.....but in the price was included one main course and dessert for the table....the warm and cold buffet had different salads, for example a green bean salad with a sesame dressing, it had Octopus Sashimi, seared Salmon Sashimi, Beef Carpaccio, and deep fried cod cubes, barbecue beef ribs, grilled skewered mushrooms, chicken wings...it was just phenomenal...the best part was that the kitchen is right behind the buffet and it id open, so as soon there were only 2 pieces left, they tok the plate and replaced it with a fresh plate, amazing....let me share a few pics with you......

I ended up going to the buffet three times cause I just couldn't stop cause it truly was special....dessert was interesting, it was served on the table and is to be shared. I must say the desserts were ok, but nothing oh my word WOW...although the ice-cream was very very good....and so was the mango Panacotta. I was a little bit sad cause the other tables got different ice-creams, and the table next to us got Sesame ice-cream and a vanilla ice-cream with something that looked like cookies and I would have loved that....we got vanilla, strawberry and chocolate....though the chocolate was super...there were chunks of chocolate and pieces of marshmallow....that was a beautiful surprise...so all in all...great brunch...and the champagne they served, true French Champagne, Sandro mentioned last time it was Veuve Clicquot, this time is was Bollinger....

Today is mom and my last day in Hong Kong, tonight we are travelling back to SA, was so good to come, to meet little Siena, try all the various food....it was very special...thank you Sandro and Fabienne for making our time here a great experience.

Another cruise in Western Caribbean

This is the second week....we started the journey in Tampa and this Tampa we decided to take Sofia to the aquarium...I was quite interested to see whether she would be fascinated with the fishes or not....and she was....certain ones...certain ones not too much....but she definitely enjoyed going there. The aquarium had 8 sections: Wetlands Trail, Journey to Madagascar, Bays & Beaches, No Bone Zone, Coral Reefs, Dragons Down Under, Ocean Commotion and Splash Pad. We visited all except for the Splash Pad (that is outside for the kids to play and it was closed at the moment). It was nice also because there were areas where you could touch the sting rays...I enjoyed that, Sofia did not want to touch them, and nor did Kim. Sofia Enjoying the Aquarium Sofia Enjoying the Aquarium  Sofia in the Playground at the Aquarium Kim Enjoying the Aquarium The following day was VIP and unfortunately Sofia and I did not make it as Sofia was just way too tired....but that'

So we have arrived in Texas....yay for us....and we have been doing quite a lot...so yes, we have been keeping busy. We arrived on Friday 23rd June in the afternoon at 2pm....after doing immigration, we went to the hotel, dropped off the luggage, literally, and went to fetch our new car....a white Jeep Cherokee....it is so nice....we are soooo excited to have it...beautiful...have a look.... Sofia in the Jeep Kim and the Jeep Cherokee Friday night we had some Sushi take-aways because Sofia was jet lagged, and so were we, so we did not make it to a restaurant with her.  Saturday there was also quite a few admin things to get done...but it was a rainy day....it rained almost the whole day...so we got a bit wet, but it is warm rain......so never mind. We started off by driving past our new home (could not go inside as the current owners were packing up) and then we made our way to McKinney where we have a friend who has been so kind to receive and store all of our post,
