The days we spent in modern city Singapore
We got lucky that we had the opportunity to book a long trip with the family. And when such a chance presents itself, you must grab it. Two months ago we booked our trip to the other side of the world. Over a period of six weeks we planned our destinations: Singapore, Australia and Bali….
A Peruvian food experience at LIMA Fitzrovia
Meanwhile I’ve been able to discover a lot of different food from around the world. And certainly after living in London for a year and a half, it has only become more. The one I wasn’t yet so familiar with is the Peruvian. Therefor I got really excited when we had planned a visit to…
An Italian lunch at San Carlo Cicchetti

A visit to Kanpai, UK’s first sake brewery

MingleMush: a food walhalla in The Hague
In recent years you see it more often: empty buildings transformed into covered markets where you can have food from all over the world.
