Restaurants

Kym’s – London, UK

Kym’s – London, UK

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 […]

Timberyard – Edinburgh, Scotland

Timberyard – Edinburgh, Scotland

One of our best meals of our entire January 2019 trip was probably at TIMBERYARD in Edinburgh, Scotland. Was it because the restaurant was soooo dark that we couldn’t really see our food and assumed it was good? I joke – although, it was very […]

Cafe St Honore – Edinburgh, Scotland

Cafe St Honore – Edinburgh, Scotland

On our travels back in January we also headed up to Scotland with our friend SW. He wanted to go climbing in the Cairngorm mountains, which sounded terrifying to me. More so because, on the train to the airport, he proudly showed us the new […]

SAN Bruxelles – Brussels, Belgium

SAN Bruxelles – Brussels, Belgium

I don’t quite recall how I heard about SAN BRUXELLES. What I did recall, though, was feeling really excited at eating some modern dishes inspired by Asian flavours. Enough of traditional hearty Flemish food! I did enjoy all that. However, it was time to change […]

Kok au Vin – Bruges, Belgium

Kok au Vin – Bruges, Belgium

When I was looking for more modern restaurants to try out in Bruges, Belgium, KOK AU VIN kept popping up. It has excellent reviews on Google too, which gave me a bit of confidence. I was surprised that we could get a booking with only […]

Chagall – Bruges, Belgium

Chagall – Bruges, Belgium

On our first night in Bruges we asked our hotel, the delightful Monsieur Ernest, where to go for dinner. It was a Monday night so not much was open, but thankfully a traditional Flemish restaurant was open. We headed out in the drizzly cold, along […]

Rovi – Fitzrovia, London

Rovi – Fitzrovia, London

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 […]

Padella – Southwark, London

Padella – Southwark, London

I had heard HEAPS about PADELLA, which is located just outside the famour Borough Markets. And then we walked past one day, and I realised that a lot of other people had also heard of PADELLA! We jokingly asked how long the wait would be […]

Jidori – Covent Garden, London

Jidori – Covent Garden, London

I heard about JIDORI in the Monocle travel guide book I think, something about a well-priced yakitori restaurant. And well-priced it was! They serve an omakase menu (kind of like a degustation or tasting menu) for just £30 per person, for the whole table only. […]

De Plantage – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

De Plantage – Amsterdam, The Netherlands

When a friend recommended DE PLANTAGE to me, I knew immediately knew I’d like it. First of all, it’s INSIDE the zoo. Well, by that I mean it’s in a public part of the zoo that you can visit without paying for an entrance ticket. If you’re […]
