Healthy Summer Rolls



It's time for a healthy summer snack...and you don't even have to know how to cook for this easy summer rolls recipe. Actually I wouldn't call it a recipe, it's more a summer snack inspiration to make something healthy, quick and easy. Basically you can decide whatever you want to have in your rolls. I used spinach leaves/salad, cucumber, carrots, coriander, mint leaves, prawns and glas noodles. I tried one with avocado as well, which was very delicious!
Rice paper rolls can be found in every good Asia shop, I bought mine in China town at Loon Fung. 
Just cut all your ingredients in small sticks, I couldn't be bothered to slice them any thiner. Then cook the glass noodles for 5 minutes, I seasoned them with some chili, sesame oil and soya sauce. Now soak the rice papers into warm water for about 5 seconds, so that they get softer. Just place your ingredients on the paper and start folding it. I think mine don't look too bad for my first time....and they are super delicious! My perfect summer snack...

Munich - Restaurants & Bars

Munich - I love being back home. For me Munich is a place of total relaxation, it's actually quiet in the night. Compared to London, a village, but an amazingly beautiful one!
Anyways, last time I was writing about some Munich hotspots, restaurants especially. Reading about them is the one thing, but to actually have a look at some photos the other thing. Or at least I always want to see photos! Here we go, I went to some nice restaurant the last week and took some snapshots!


Zum Goldenen Kalb - one of the best steaks in town. But even if you don't like steak, the lobster soup and the tuna tartar was amazing as well. I had some artichokes as a starter and afterwards a steak with some veggies. Medium, perfectly tender...food porn!
The dessert was a delight as well.





If you fancy some drinks in a very nice atmosphere - Schumanns is the place to go. I go there every now and then when I'm in Munich, for a coffee in the sun or some cocktails in the evenings.


Always a treat! Zest in Munich's heart is a very nice bar and restaurant. From Clubsandwich, over tapas  to tartar...there is something for every one! 


If you are a Vietnamese food fan, I have a top recommendation: Nguyen! I love the duck, super crispy and tender. But what I like the most, is the rice paper rolls. Not normal rice paper rolls, which you get ready to eat, no, you have to roll them yourself. Trust me, that's fun. You get about 6 rice papers and a lot of ingredients, just out them on the rice paper and roll it! Very nice indeed...


Aroma Kaffee Bar is located in an area called Glockenbachviertel, where you can find cool places and cafés. Aroma Bar is a very cosy and cute café, offering sweet and savoury treats, a unique interior and good coffee...
