GA KingsX London
On Friday evening we went for dinner in GA KingsX near Kings’s Cross station to celebrate the end of the exams, passing all of them. We picked this place because we were picking up the rest of the family arriving with the Eurostar later that evening. We picked this bar/club also because it looked classy…

After visiting the Science Museum in London we needed a place for lunch. In the direct neighbourhood of the the museum all places were completely packed.

PerfectDraft Stella Unfiltered Lager
After the first keg of standard Stella I connected the unfiltered version. I expected much of the unfiltered Stella but compared to standard Stella I found little added taste.

Saisaki
Went for dinner at Saisaki in Werchter some time ago. We had seen it passing by in the car a few times and planned to try it out some time. We had ‘our’ typical menu with Edamame and Gyoza for starters and then a sushi boat. Quality was good but not exceptional, but the atmosphere…

The College @ Sittard Hilton
I had dinner with my son @ The College while staying in the Sittard Hilton a few weeks ago. We had arrived quite late at the hotel and had to get up early for our Limburgs Mooiste bike ride the next day so we didn’t bother to go looking for a restaurant in the neighbourhood.…
