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. […]
When my friend OS suggested we head to Dominique Ansel’s London outpost while where in town, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of it myself. We’ve visited the Japanese store in Tokyo – and yes, we queued. Rather, I queued while DS went for a […]
When I reflect on the year that has been, I realise that I had a LOT of really great food overseas. That also means it’s been a big year of travel, making full use of the school holidays I’m lucky to get working at a […]
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 […]
Man, Aussies really do get around (as I mentioned in my last post!). We found another very Aussie cafe in Amsterdam. You know when it’s called LITTLE COLLINS that it’s definitely got to do with Melbourne. It’s just such an iconic location / name! So we […]

I would say that THE FOXTROT INN ticks all the boxes for a post-work hang out spot. If I worked in Crows Nest, I reckon I would be there all the time! It’s a notch above your local pub but still has the same warmth and […]
I had seen BOX SOCIAAL on Instagram and I instantly (pun intended) knew that I needed to eat there. Why? One reason – the stroopwafel waffles. That’s right, it’s like waffle inception. The thin Dutch stroopwafels inside a a giant Belgian waffle. You’ll have to […]
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 […]
