I'm a day-time marketer, off-time photog, full-time dreamer and part-time wanderlust. I geek over chai tea, gadgets, coffee, Star Trek and bocce ball. I live in the great city of Minneapolis, Minn., and this is my blog where I share my photos and other visual art that inspires me. I tweet from the handle @albertisawesome so please do say hello.
Check out Life in Monochrome for my two-toned photos.

This is pretty much what our breakfast consisted of during our travel.

Enjoying a bit of homemade galub jamun. YUM! (Taken with picplz.)

My stomach had quite the workout this past weekend but not in any healthy way. I tagged along with my cousin @snnychng and his pals to one of our favorite Minneapolis-eateries, Uptown Diner. This scrumptious place is well known in these parts for delicious grub and extra-large portions. Personally, I like their breakfast selections such as the Tex Mex and Cajun Breakfast (photographed above), both of which are seemingly reaching local legendary status now-a-days.
What enticed us to gorge on family-sized-servings of breakfast foods and stretch the limits of our denim sizes? I guess we aren’t above eating uncomfortably large servings of chow just to gain momentary fame.

If you’re hankering for some sweets, I recommend grabbing a few cupcakes from the bakery boutique Sweet Retreat. I personally like the cookies-n-cream cupcake which has half an Oreo lining the bottom. Their cupcakes are simply scrumdiddlyumptious!

With a hot cup of milk tea and the song Mony Mony by Tommy James & The Shondells, I will get through this day.

I had the honor of eating a piece of this seriously delicious cake. The homemade frosting slathered all around this fella was amazing. Never will I buy pre-made frosting again.

We dined on curry pizza at Pizza Hut in Hong Kong. I love that the Pizza Huts here are much like California Pizza Kitchens back home. No frumpy little storefronts here.

These are the most elegantly made xiaolongbao I’ve ever had. I love Din TaiFung.
