Brotzeit, Vivocity Lunch

I had not been to Brotzeit for quite a long time and somehow one of the three of us decided that we could have lunch there. So, here we were. Unfortunately, I found the food including salad, a tad too greasy to my liking. 

Rosti with Smoked Salmon

Virgin Mojito

Mozarella Salad

Fries

Cheese Spatzle

Honest Burger, London

Thanks to Miss P's recommendation, we went up and down looking for an Honest Burger outlet nearby after failing to get our stomach satisfied eating the pork buns from Bao. This was our second lunch. What can I say but yummmmmmm. ........  Burger was good, chips were great. 

Potato Soup

One day not too long ago, I made some truffle fries, but I could not finish them and kept them in the fridge. I fell sick and longed for nothing soupy and decided to make potato soup with the leftover fries. With tasty broth and more vegetables like carrots and onion, the soup was really delicious. 

Egg Breakfast

I prepare my meals based on what I have at home. Sometimes, they could appear a tad strange or unusual. But these days, we go with almost everything. Check the internet if you need to be convinced. I tried to use waffle iron to cook the sweet potato hash, but failed in giving a solid shape because of the nature of the sweet potatoes. They are moist and sweet. Nevertheless, they were delicious and cooked. The avocado was mashed and mixed with salt, pepper and a little bit of lemon juice. The egg was poached.  The last part of the meal was simple salad. No biggie, it was seasoned with salt, pepper and olive oil.

Revisiting Nanbantei, Tokyo

We went back to have dinner at Nanbantei in Roppongi, Minato, Tokyo. I had their dinner set while my three companions chose ala carte.  There were more dishes, but no pictures.

Microwave Potato Chips

This is certainly an alternative to store-bought chips that are healthier. With just a touch of oil and microwave magic plus a little time, we'll have these chips ready in some minutes. Patience, though, is needed. 

Inflight Breakfast - En Route to London

Our flight to London at the end of last month was scheduled for 9:05AM. Of course by the time we boarded, we had had some breakfast of this and that at the airport lounge. But once we were up in the air and we saw the menu, we, or I , simply could not resist to try. I always want to see how they are presented and taste. 

Breakfast began with a fruit platter, looking quite nice but most of them were not ripe. I had to leave most of them uneaten.

For starter, I chose Birchir Muesli, that turned out to be the best one I have ever had. I wish  knew the brands they used.

As for the main, I selected crepe with lobster, crab and prawn on a bed of asparagus, with gratin potatoes and cherry tomatoes. It was okay but it would not be something that I would order again, besides, I was convinced that I had more than enough food in my stomach until the next meal, many hours later.

Lunch At Cracco Peck, Milano

Peck is one of the most recommended place to go to and to dine in when you go to Milan. It's located just near Duomo, but we had a hard time finding it because the GPS really messed us up.

We checked out their shop, carrying beautiful meats, goodies, cheeses and everything else that I wish I could buy and take them home with me. The restaurant is upstairs and their food is really superb. This was our first time having a meal there and we truly enjoyed every single bit of everything.

The above is amuse bouche provided by the restaurant. 

I had a dish called Piatto Unico Venerdi, which was basically mashed potatoes in the bottom of the plate with Cod fish. I can't remember exactly the description of how the fish was done. But it was really delicious.

 My company had Linguine al pesto above. As a side order for sharing, we had spinach.

We were really full but still attempted to  try their desserts and coffee too.  Fabulous!!

Lunch At Culina Bistro

We went to Dempsey Hill several times but never made it to get a meal, until this time (last week). There were plenty restaurants to choose from and our pick was Culina. The place was rather packed and we actually came without reservation but managed to get a table immediately.

DH and I were so predictable with our choices this time. I went for Wagyu Beef burger and he picked Crabmeat Pasta. The burger itself was not that large but the amount of the fries was huge. The salad was forgettable. DH, on the other hand, enjoyed his pasta quite a bit.

La Nonna Lunch

The five of us were together for the holiday, it does not happen very often recently. The last Sunday before one started school, another went back to college and one more were about to travel for business, all of us had lunch at La Nonna, again. 

We had Calamari with Arrabbiata sauce and Caprese salad to begin, both of which we enjoyed.  We also had pizza to share, with the egg put on the side inside of center, to accommodate those who did not want to have egg on pizza.

DH continued with pasta trip, ordering similar dish again and again. I believe it was either crab or seafood linguine. 

Miss K had gnocchi and I tried thier Pork Sausage with roasted potatoes.

Miss L had the pan fried fish above and Miss P had Chicken wrapped in Prosciutto. Lots of food for us, really!
