Our kitchen being held hostage by the workmen

By: | 0 Comments | On: April 24, 2012 | Category : Musings

Yes, it took a long time but our kitchen is almost finished! 6 weeks of eating out (very expensive) or eating microwaveable food (boring). We couldn’t agree on a colour for the accent wall so it became something extremely bright – neon green!!! I must say that with this experience...

For the first time ever, Gastronomic travels is blogging about an establishment abroad, namely in Brussels! It was good to revisit this old haunt! I used to eat here all the time when I lived here a couple of years ago. Fortunately, or unfortunately, they’re no longer the only noodle...

spring rolls
Too much eggs can be harmful… Our alternative Swedish Easter was a Chinese feast with spring rolls,  3-cup chicken, stir fry cabbage and eggs, and an avocado pie (recipes to come)! I know I know – what’s with all the avocados lately? Well, I bought them cheap 2 weeks ago...

seafood-raabiff
Because I had such a great time yesterday in the Dining room, I decided to give the Seafood Bar a second go, also taking advantage of the Birdie nam nam special of 50% off food orders. Hubby and I were there at 5:20pm and there were already 6-7 tables filled...

We took advantage of the Birdie nam nam, an early bird special where you get 50% off the food if you leave the table at 7:15pm. I just had to order the wagyu beef and it didn’t disappoint. Side-note: The misconception with wagyu cows is that they are given special...
