Pophams Bakery, the breakfast spot in Islington

Pophams Bakery, the breakfast spot in Islington

  Today I would like to tell you about this lovely little bakery in Islington, London. My friend has been raving about Pophams Bakery’s rosemary and sea salt croissants for weeks, so I decided to give them a try!   The Rosemary sea salt croissant […]

Toconoco, your Japanese experience in London

Toconoco, your Japanese experience in London

Toconoco, my Japanese headquarter I am quite picky when it comes to Japanese cuisine, as I have always ranked it as one of my top three comfort foods. This was heightened by my years living in Japan. I tend to look for authentic, traditional and […]

An Italian Feast

An Italian Feast

This post is a little different from my usual ones, because this time I am writing to promote a good cause — childhood literacy — that my friend Orsola is supporting here! She is raising money for a charity called Room To Read, which provides […]

Embassy East, where it’s never “just a meal”

Since I moved back to London, this was my first “real” weekend in the city and I was very eager to discover somewhere new and, preferably, with someone new. So, where? That was easily answered. Since I had Embassy East on the top on my […]

Friends of Ours is another brunch place on Pitfield street that is totally worth going! I discovered this coffeeshop over summer, while looking for a nice working space to write my dissertation.   Incredible food and fresh coffee I love everything on their menu, which […]

Special Lattes at Aida Shoreditch, anyone?

Special Lattes at Aida Shoreditch, anyone?

AIDA Shoreditch is a comfortable place, where I wrote a big chunk of my master’s dissertation. I really enjoyed the fact that it closes at 7pm from Monday to Saturday. In London coffeeshops usually close early, so having that extra hour was crucial.   In a […]

Bento Boxes and Donburi

Bento Boxes and Donburi

After a long day at Hyde Park, we are back at Tombo Cafe (see first post here)! This time we had bento boxes, the aubergine set and the sashimi set, and teriyaki donburi. Again, no surprise, they are just too cute to be eaten!   […]

Cheerful Morning in Shoreditch

Cheerful Morning in Shoreditch

A morning in Shoreditch is always a fantastic idea! I have recently enjoyed waking up early and found out that my neighbor was also a morning person, so we often get breakfast together. She introduced me a friend of hers who studies fashion design. He is only […]

No Matcha Latte in London?

No Matcha Latte in London?

I sometimes hear people say that they could not find matcha latte in London, which triggered my matcha latte hunt in the city and I actually found a LOT of places! More and more cafes and restaurants are starting to have this drink now, so […]

Ramen Karaage Combo Is Always A Good Idea

Ramen Karaage Combo Is Always A Good Idea

The typical side dish that goes with ramen is obviously gyoza. But this time, we decided to go for a ramen karaage combination and we did not regret it! Their food is very similar to what we have in Japan, which makes it my favorite […]
