On our last day in Portland, we went to OK Omens for their Happy Hour. The building kind of looked like an old church or something, kind of fitting with the name OK Omens. The structure was an interesting shape, almost like a soft triangle. The inside was elegant, I liked the way it looked […]
While vising Portland OR last summer, one of the coffee spot that I was excited to visit was Tōv Coffee. Not only they are unique in a sense that they offer Egyptian inspired artisanal coffee, but all the photos I saw showed the coffee shop in a red double decker bus! So, off we went, […]
I took a bit of a break from writing the blog posts while working on other projects… Now I am back and trying to catch up with the last few places we went in Portland Oregon last summer. Better late than never, right? We were interested in their food truck culture, or food cart pods, […]
During our trip to Portland in June, one of the place we visited was Mount Tabor. On the way there, we stopped at a little coffee shop called Crema Coffee + Bakery. They have a few locations, and this one we went to was inside a lovely stone church. The entrance is to the side, […]

We love a good doughnut, and we thought the name was interesting too. It was easy to find, with bright pink exterior and a […]
During our visit to Portland Oregon, one of the places I was most excited about was Papa Haydn. Why? Because they seem to have loads of amazing looking desserts! Yet, upon my further investigation (Yes I do love to investigate a spot before we go and dine…), I saw that they also have tasty looking […]
While vising Portland, my hubby really wanted to have the special cocktail at Huber’s Cafe. Furthermore, Huber’s Cafe is Portland’s oldest restaurant and bar, founded in 1879, known for roast turkey and Spanish coffee. The entrance is slightly trick to find.
