When we travel, we always find ourselves searching for good Asian food. Whether it’s Japanese in Amsterdam, or Chinese food in London! I’ve had A.WONG on my list for ages and when I heard they had a sister restaurant in the newly opened KYM’S I […]
We were about to pop on the EuroStar and head to Belgium, so why not stop by for a German breakfast at GERMAN GYMNASIUM at Kings Cross?! Makes sense in my head, somehow… From what I hear, GERMAN GYMNASIUM was an actual gymnasium in a […]
Can you believe that I have never been to an Ottolenghi restaurant before?! All those trips to London… Ok, I have been to Ottolenghi in Belgravia where you get takeaway and there is barely any seating. I feel like that doesn’t count. This trip, we […]
