Third Wave Cafe (Guest Post)

As Yoda himself would agree, you find proteges within the most unexpected people and in the most unexpected manners. Who would have thought that a little Russian themed cafe within Melbourne would...

Galvin at Windows

The city unfolded beyond the glass; there is always something so attractive about a restaurant or bar that lies tucked nicely between the clouds (fine, I might be slightly exaggerating, it’s only on...

Koya

It was a typical day out to a typical Japanese restaurant in London – if you discount the giant parade of people akin to zombies “celebrating” Chinese New Year and ensuring they manifest their...

The Gilbert Scott

An old, wrinkly man sat at the piano, and his wrinkles sat there with him. Happy notes were springing off the keys and hopped all over the place, gentle and soft. The lights were suddenly dimmed, to...

Burger & Lobster

Some people (and lesser bloggers) would at times shout “location, location!” as if stringing two words, a comma and an exclamation mark is something that being of higher intellect find difficult. What...

Village East

Scarcity, as economics would entail, makes something valuable. In that regard, anything related to the early hours of the morning – from sunrises to brunches – should have their value in gold when it...

Abeno Too

I am on a mission to civilize. Culinary speaking. So it is always exciting to introduce people to new foods – exciting being the middle name of Japanese food. Just think of all the wonderful things...

Whyte & Brown

It is often the case that cities have little bits of themselves stashed away, even in central/touristy areas such as Oxford Street; surely enough I’d more easily find my way out of the Minotaur’s...

Mama Lan

“Minuscule” would be a great word to describe Mama Lan (or “petite”, should I be gracious enough to make it sound cute), as it occupies the corner of a street in Brixton Market. The small tables, and...
