Last week, I literally pigged out. I was in Munich for four days and ate pork products at least three times a day. Despite articles like this one touting Munich’s cutting-edge food scene, I was quite happy to stick with eating the traditional Bavarian specialties that are offered everywhere in town, which meant a lot [...]

I have to be in Munich for a few days this week, so I took a daytrip today to visit the Nuremberg Christmas Market, which is just an hour and 45 minutes away on a regular (non-fancy) Deutsche Bahn train. I’m not a huge fan of Christmas ornaments or freezing cold weather, but things I [...]

Posted in Everyday in London, Islington, London Eating, tagged Ba Shan, BlogSherpa, Chilli Cool, Chinese in London, England, London, London restaurants, Sichuan, Szechuan on December 9, 2009 | 9 Comments »

Because of Rosa Thai’s proximity to my office, I eat lunch there almost once a week. I invariably order the green curry with pork, which I love for its tender slices of pork, the generous handful of crunchy bamboo slivers, and its balance of sweet, salty and spicy flavors. Much as I love my lunches [...]

I love Galvin Bistro de Luxe in Marylebone for its convivial atmosphere, its professional service, and its bistro classics served at reasonable prices. So when Galvin La Chapelle recently opened just a few steps from my office, I disregarded this negative review and, last Friday, dragged my friend BK there for lunch. This post should [...]
