my birthday tea party!

-
Hello cupcakes! Thank you for following my blog these past few months! A while back, I had my adorable birthday tea party at a small tearoom called Lady Camellia. The outside wall was painted a pastel mint color and the tea set is lovely with floral print. Lady Camellia is located in somewhat wealthy Georgetown, Washington D.C. Georgetown has plenty of stores and restaurants and it is common to see college students walking around from nearby Georgetown University (hard to get in). I ordered Jasmine green tea which is one of my favorite teas. It tasted light and pleasing. I do not like tea that still has lot of leaves floating around in it. I absolutely loved the strawberry tart and especially the white chocolate scone! The white chocolate scone was fresh and warm out of the oven and it did not have too much white chocolate. That was perfect for me since I am not a big fan of white chocolate. When I first ate it, I fell in love instantly! I wish the server could allow us to have more scones! I usually do not eat scones, but my goodness I would eat that almost everyday! Perhaps I can go to Great Britain and learn more about the process of baking scones as well as various flavors of scones eh? Next, I enjoyed the rose and raspberry macarons. They did not taste old and not too sweet for me! I am obsessed with macarons so I cannot skip out on macarons. :) But I did not like the apple sandwich with cream cheese I think? I have a sweet tooth so I reluctantly finished eating the finger sandwich.


One thing to keep in mind is that if you want to come to Lady Camellia, you will need to call at least 3 weeks in advance to get a reservation for a table because this place is very popular. And you will have to pay a fee to obtain a table there. The servers are nice and be sure to take lot of pictures there! My only complaint is the noise level. I could hear many girls chatting behind me when I was drinking my tea. I hope the owner will open a new Lady Camellia with a bigger room size soon perhaps in the DMV?! The menu has tea imported from other countries like India. Overall, I recommend this tearoom for meetings with old friends, bridal showers, or birthday celebrations! Of course, you are more than welcome to practice speaking with a British accent here at Lady Camellia!
Address: 3261 Prospect St NW, Washington, DC 20007 (Georgetown)

Hello cupcakes! The weather is beautiful today! I have been inactive lately, but nonetheless I will share the pictures of delicious food I ate. I went to Washington D.C. and Annandale, Virginia. Some food are from fancy catering companies and others are from restaurants. This is coffee-flavored and strawberry shaved ice with sweet toppings. I loved it! You can buy this at the "Block" located in  4221 John Marr Dr, Annandale, VA 22003 Next I went to a Korean BBQ restaurant. It's called Kogiya Korean BBQ located in 4220-A Annandale Rd, Annandale, VA 22003 I loved the food and the sauces. The Korean restaurant gave a wide variety of choices and plenty of food for a group of 6 persons! There were a lot of leftovers afterwards, but sadly we were not allowed to bring them home.  I will write about food I tasted in Washington D.C. in the next post!

Are we dreaming or are we awake?

Hello my cupcakes! In Philosophy class, I was learning about  René Descartes. He was the father of modern Western Philosophy. He inquired whether do we exist or not? How do we know if we are dreaming or not? That got me pondering. He said that our own senses may be deceiving us or that some sort of a genius is deceiving us from the real world. I really like the Wax Example. If we imagine a wax, we presume it to be solid and yellow. But if it is placed next to a fire, its shape transforms and the smell is noted. That tells us that the senses did not tell us that the wax is capable of many changes. Back to the question: are we dreaming? How do I know that I may not be sitting here typing this paper and that I am actually sleeping somewhere else? Well, I think in a dream, we feel like we are moving in a dream-like state where everything seems so far yet so close. It is sort of like a out of body experience where you know that you are in a dream because you see yourself walking or seeing p

My thoughts after reading Beyond the Narrow Gate by Leslie T. Chang

-
I recently finished reading the non-fiction book about Leslie's mother, Mary and Mary's friends growing up during the Communist Revolution and then becoming adults in America, the land of the American Dream. Due to the division between the Nationalists and the Communists, they fled to Taiwan located near China. Leslie also included Mary's friends' families such as being sons and daughters of immigrant parents. Leslie revealed how she felt growing up in Connecticut dominated by Caucasian middle class citizens. However, Lesile was curious to how her mother felt in America unlike her homelands where beliefs and traditions differ. Thus she started interviewing Mary's friends who attended the same school for girls in Taiwan. From there, Leslie learned many perspectives from getting to know them and why her mother is determined to work dedicatedly for her family. I especially enjoyed the chapter where Leslie, her boyfriend, and her mother went to China to go sightseeing b
