highlights of twenty fifteen

i scrolled through my photos and smiled at the highlights of twentyfifteen. 

many, many gastronomical discoveries - some good, mostly okay and a few bad (thankfully!).

many tried new recipes and kitchen adventures.

a few firsts. 

some memorable and awesome travelogues.

string of photos share these happy thoughts the best:

of learning family traditions & keeping the family recipes alive 

of my first coveted treasure from dominique ansel bakery 

of meeting 1600 pandas

of exploring chiang mai's wats filled with rich histories

of learning cooking techniques for authentic northern thai cuisines

of enduring (& loving) my first zip lining through the forest

of my first khantoke dinner in chiang mai

of learning how to take a step back and just breathe deeply (& bask in the sunrise)

of completing my first 5km

of discovering delicious cornflakes s'mores cookies

of my first ever trip to the middle east

twentyfifteen holds many wonderful memories and i'm grateful for the experiences and the special  moments. twentysixteen is the renewal of my resolutions that i missed of previous year but looking forward to many more yummylicious possibilities. 

in fact, i already have some exciting plans in store! :)

thank you for being part of my twentyfifteen and hope that you'll stick around to share my moments in twentysixteen, loves. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MAY THE AWESOMENESS OF 2016 BE WITH YOU! :)
