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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

A trip to GOGÄRTCHEN is a must for my family every time we’re in Sylt. It’s quite a fine dining restaurant, from the ingredients and the way the food is prepared. However, they have recently adopted a more relaxed approach with the waiters wearing jeans and […]
I was a bit sceptical when we decided to go to CARLS AN DER ELBPHILHARMONIE because it’s literally right next to Hamburg’s current biggest tourist attraction – the Elbphilharmonie. It’s been years in the making and finally Hamburg has a brand new concert hall, which looks suspiciously […]
BISTRO MEKONGin Castlecrag is all about south-east Asian food. It’s the sister restaurant to Kensington Street’s MEKONG and I love that you can get all types of south-east Asian food here! I feel like I’ve been to a lot of Thai restaurants, or Indian restaurants, where […]
BEA at Barangaroo, has been one of my favourite new openings recently. Not just in Barangaroo, but in all of Sydney! This was actually my second visit there because my parents loved it so much, we went back a few weeks later with my cousin […]
