Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Let the Christmas magic begin! Last week, it was my son’s birthday and we decided to treat Mr K to a posh steak house restaurant in Birmingham before heading to the largest authentic German Christmas market outside of Germany and Austria – Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market! If you are planning to visit the market or shop around Bullring and you are looking for places to stay, why not check out Birmingham airport hotel.
After a splendid refurbishment, The Green Man Pub & Restaurant is re-open for business from midday (11am for Sunday) for an extensive selection of drinks and real ales, with food served all day until 10pm every day! This delightful premium pub is located in the heart of the picturesque village of Middleton. There is plenty of car parking at the side of the pub and it has its very own garden.
Now you can recreate the iconic scenes from the Harry Potter film series with this Harry Potter invisibility cloak by appearing to disappear! We must be in Santa’s good books as we were selected to trial this invisibility cloak by Ministry of Magic! We all had so much fun watching ourselves trying to disappear in the video clips and directing the whole play of our own!
After a long wait of six years, Frozen 2 will be hitting UK cinemas on the 22 November 2019! We were so excited to be the first few to receive these gorgeous Frozen 2 toys: Playdate Sven and “Into the Unknown” Elsa doll from Jakks Pacific! Ms C is a huge fan of this absolute smash-hit Frozen movie and she loved every minute of this show. Even though it was six years ago, she still loves the characters, especially Sven.
Before I go into further details of these two toys, I would like to invite all my readers to join me on the 19th November 2019 for an hour long Twitter Party at 6pm! Remember to save the date and time!
GBBO 2019 might be over, but it is not over in this household! After a year out from not having my own kitchen to bake, we have finally settled in our new home and I am ready to bake again! Thanks to Plastic Box Shop who gifted us a few of their bake range products.
We are no strangers to PlasticBoxShop as we have bought a massive amount of Wham plastic storage boxes from them two years ago. We used the plastic boxes to store all our items that we put in storage while we were renting. They were really useful to keep all my items in good and clean condition. Even now, I still haven’t unpacked all the items out of the plastic boxes!
Ah, a new decade is slowly upon us, promising new beginnings and a willingness to look forward to the future once more. This decade has been quite the jam-packed one, perhaps even overwhelming, but all of that can reset and we can enjoy what the following decade brings provided we are prepared for it.
These days, coding is an essential skill and it is especially important for our future children of the world as technology now dominates a huge amount of different industries. Besides that, learning to code also teaches you how to solve problems and think logically in many creative ways.

Christmas season is the time for giving and sharing, it is also means shopping time! I know it is not everyone’s favourite thing to do but I do hope you like the variety of gift ideas we have shown on our Christmas Gift Guide 2019 that was published yesterday. Now it is time for us to share the top stocking fillers!
Did you know that this year, a new survey shows a third of parents would buy Rubik’s as a stocking filler for children this Christmas? The survey, which had 2,000 respondents, also included chocolate and stationery as top stocking solutions. My husband and Mr K are big fans of the iconic colourful Rubik’s cube. They both knew how to solve the puzzle within five minutes. Now Ms C is hooked into the easy to play Rubik’s cage!
It is almost that time of the year! Christmas is fast approaching! This year, we have so many exciting new and existing products to showcase to our readers! I hope this Christmas gift guide will give you some inspiration to start shopping for your loved ones!
These items are not very extravagant but they are just different enough that your loved ones will know you put some thought into it. Now let me surprise you with what we have here today!
