Time gets away from you sometimes, especially when you’re having fun in Hong Kong! That’s exactly what happened to us when we had planned to go to dinner at ELEMENTARY in Tai Hang. We were having drinks with friends first up (mocktail for me, doh) and […]
After spending around 2 weeks in Germany (where, in Hamburg specifically, the Asian food isn’t THAT great) we were really craving some Japanese when we arrived. We had no expectations of Japanese food in Amsterdam at all, just that DE JAPANNER had been recommended in the […]
I was so stoked to be invited to COBO HOUSE in Hong Kong last week, to sample some delicious food and drinks as part of their collaboration with Danish furniture store BoConcept. I am a huge fan of both these brands – in fact, I am writing this […]
