Everything about Food and Wine
Venta Moncalvillo (Part I)
Our evening at Venta Moncalvillo, a Michelin-starred restaurant in La Rioja, was an epicurean odyssey that unfolded over hours of indulgence and culinary marvels.
Lou Wai Lou (楼外楼)
After an inspiring walk down Su Causeway (苏堤), with its storybook scenery, we arrived at Lou Wai Lou (楼外楼) with palates primed for a historic culinary adventure.
Cervecería Chamonix
Cervecería Chamonix truly embraced the joy of outdoor dining and added a dash of enchantment to our lunchtime feast.
Restaurante Alameda
While our lunch at Alameda Restaurant did not dazzle us as expected, it still provided a solid culinary experience in Hondarribia. The ambiance was comfortable, the dishes well-prepared, and the service attentive.
Calle 31 de Agosto (Tapas Street of San Sebastián)
As we hopped from bar to bar, we laughed, we ate, we drank and we celebrated. It was an unforgettable night and we left the Tapas Street of San Sebastián with full bellies and a deeper appreciation for the Basque culture.
La Cerve (Pasaia, Basque Country)
To be honest, the food here was really just junk bar food, nothing fanciful. But with the continuous flow of Sangría, Spanish draft beer, Rioja wine and a great company, I could not have asked for a finer start to this memorable trip to celebrate my 50th birthday.
Our CNY Getaway
While we pamper ourselves and disconnect from the outside world in this Batam Island’s original boutique hotel and spa during this CNY period, we decide to have most of our meals within the resort too.
Okabeya (清水順正 おかべ家)
The restaurant is housed in a Kyo-Machiya (Traditional Kyoto wooden townhouse) near Kiyomizu-dera Temple and specialises in Tofu cuisine.
Steak Otsuka
This is a MUST-VISIT in Kyoto if you love beef, top Japanese Wagyu beef.
Papita D'oro
En route to Kyoto, we stopped over at Nara for a short tour and had an amazing lunch at Papita D'oro - A cosy boutique Italian restaurant located within Naramachi (奈良町) and run by a Japanese Chef who had honed his culinary skills in Italy for years before returning to Japan.
Okage-san Izakaya
This popular Izakaya, near our Onsen Resort at Hongu Wakayma, is famous for their Oden and Yakitori. The Izakaya has a Zashiki seating arrangement and we had our dinner around a low table on tatami flooring.
