Did you know that Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan? Yup. And this means that the Japanese food in Rio de Janeiro is pretty damn great. Jeff and I were there for a week, so we treated ourselves to two sushi dinners in Ipanema in that time… Continue reading

Breakfast at Dishoom
Dishoom is one of my favourite London restaurants, and I find myself there every few months for dinner or lunch to enjoy that delicious black daal. But recently Jeff & I found ourselves awake early so we decided to see what Dishoom had in the way of a breakfast service… Continue reading

New in London: Melt Room (It never melt so good…)
One of my favourite things about living in London is that there’s always something new happening, and recently that something new was the opening of Melt Room, a new grilled cheese sandwich shop in Soho. It’s not too far from my office, so on the opening day several of my colleagues and I stopped by on our … Continue reading
