Delish

Delish is a website that not only produces those super cool cooking videos but also produces amazing collections of recipes. I've especially enjoyed the "So What's For Dinner?" section where you can find five tasty recipes to try each week.

Travel with Hong

I love to travel and along the way I took pictures with my iPhone.   Recently I began to post travel blogs to share with my family and friends.  Though the Blog is in Chinese, there are lots of pictures and pictures speak volumes.  I thought you might be interested in them as well.  At this moment, I've only posted my recent trips.  Past trip to Thailand, Cambodia, etc, will be added later.  Hope you enjoy them!
