NYC - Midtown - Pret A Manger


I wanted a small healthy snack before going to work so I decided to go to Pret A Manger to check out what they had, I didn't want any sandwiches nor pastries and I spotted the Hummus Skinny Dip which turned out to be really good! So yum and healthy!


The Hungarian Mushroom soup was yummy and addictive! Sandwiches fresh.


Service was great, counter staff very friendly and always smiling. :o)

My Cooking - Beef Cube with Vegetables Soup AGAIN!


Yes YesPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket, you have seen this beef cube soupy dish before … heh heh. I like the slow-cooking of the beef cubesPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket with the seasonings and garlic till they are so soft that they actually melt in the mouth. You can actually pre-cook this dish then freeze till you need it, after which you can boil it again, add in the vegetables and serve with either white rice or macaroni, so easy lah. Once again the hubby said he likes this dish very much and enjoys it as much as the chicken stew, hearing him say that was like music to my ears ... hee hee.Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
