Cobo House x BoConcept – Hong Kong

  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 […]

  Hi there and thanks for coming over to www.talkandspoon.com to check out the greatest brunch I’ve ever had! And I mean that in terms of variety, quantity AND quality! You might have seen SANSIBAR on the blog before. It’s another one of those places we keep coming […]

Hoog – Keitum, Sylt, Germany

Gogärtchen – Kampen, Sylt, Germany

Mutterland (Eppendorf Branch) – Hamburg, Germany

  Eating out for breakfast still isn’t a huge thing in Germany. You’re hard pressed to find a cafe that opens before 9am, which is tough when you’re suffering from jetlag and have been up since 5am. Maybe it’s just not part of the German […]

Curry-Pirates – Hamburg, Germany

Curry-Pirates – Hamburg, Germany

  DS and I are always on the hunt for a good currywurst. For those who don’t know what that is, here’s the Wikipedia page. It’s kind of Germany’s answer to fast food, and the perfect late night snack. We found that they’re on every […]

  Sometimes you don’t want complicated food for breakfast. Sometimes you just want something simple. When we feel like that in Hamburg, we head down the road to our little local French cafe – CAFÉ PAR ICI.         I love that you can […]
