19 Street Yangon

Tourists come here as is the backpackers street of Yangon. Lively and entertaining 19 Street Yangon is where to eat and drink. By day the street is a marketplace of products and goods in the Chinatown district of Yangon, but by night the street market is replaced by the many street food stalls and little restaurants that […]

Can Recasens

Can Recasens is a family-owned business since 1906, by day a deli and by night a fantastic cosy place to dine Catalan style? By day it operates as a deli, but at night the back room and the mezzanine transform into a restaurant that has queues all down the street. Cosy and tastefully decorated, with […]

Cloud Nine Cocktail

Cathay Pacific is known for its excellent in-flight service, but that might just be because they love getting passengers liquored up during the journey. “The Cloud Nine” is one of their best signature cocktails, and the combination of Cointreau, Sprite, and vodka will make those long-haul flights just fly by. Cocktail lovers onboard Cathay Pacific […]

El Chiringuito de la Mar Bella

El Chiringuito de la Mar Bella caters for the city’s large gay community and, of course, gay visitors. Its location on this part of the beach couldn’t be better, clearly targeted towards a more gay clientele, but in Barcelona sexuality is not something people consider out of the ordinary and where the mix is often […]

Hàbaluc – the pleasure of eating

Hàbaluc – comida sana and creativa, a healthy and creative cuisine. Its name means “the pleasure of eating” in Aramaic. Colourful interiors with white sails that cover the ceiling, like sitting under a canopy of a tent, it feels rather a circus like, perhaps expressing the creative menu it offers.

Humphrey’s Restaurant

When in Amsterdam I can’t resist a return visit to my favourite place to eat and dine Humphrey’s Restaurant. Offering a 3 course fixed price meal with a selection of starter, main and dessert that changes with what is in season. Drinks are not included in the price, but for the quality and amount of food […]

Kinilaw (Filipino Ceviche)

Literally “eaten raw“, Kinilaw is a raw seafood dish native to the Philippines, similar to ceviche. It is more accurately a cooking process that relies on vinegar to denature the ingredients, rather than a dish, as it can also be used to prepare meat and vegetables. Meat-based kinilaw (usually known as kilawin) are more common in the northern Philippines and use blanched and lightly grilled meat (not raw). Kinilaw dishes are […]

KitKat

KitKat is a small gay bar hidden within the alleys of downtown Amman catering to a men-only clientele. There is little after hours or late places to be entertained in Amman, most things close early evenings, but there are a few hidden places that do offer something genuinely different. In a very retro outdated atmosphere, […]

La Chapelle is a small quirky gay bar, and a good starting point for a night out in Barcelona. This place is a little quirky with religious symbols everywhere, even having the Virgin Mary and Jesus to indicate the men and women bathrooms. The “chapel” bar is a very unique spot with white-tiled walls housing […]

La Tasca: Spanish Tapas Bar

While on a visit to Portsmouth, I visited a chain of Spanish tapas bars in the United Kingdom known as La Tasca. It is the first I have heard or seen of them but made good sense since I was travelling with a friend, and what better way to have a meal than to share […]
