Chicken Katsu Curry

So, if you didn’t know, this week is National Katsu Curry Week! It seems perfectly timed, what with all this cold weather and the dark nights looming in. A bowl of hot chicken curry with warming spices and spoonfuls of rice sounds just about wonderful right now. We’ve teamed up with Yo! Sushi to helpContinue reading “Chicken Katsu Curry”

The Butterfly Cabinet

After a morning spent segwaying for my sister’s birthday, we decided to head up to The Butterfly Cabinet in Heaton for brunch/lunch. My sister had been a couple of times before and really liked the place, and we thought we would give it a try! The first thing I noticed was the quirky interior, andContinue reading “The Butterfly Cabinet”

Mannaza

One wet night as we trundled through Newcastle city centre to meet up with some friends for dinner, we passed this little Korean BBQ place. We stared through the windows to see a bustling restaurant packed to the brim, with everyone eating delicious, warm food that was steaming from their bowls. It looked so comforting.Continue reading “Mannaza”

Urban Night Feast

You don’t have to go to London to get street food. Go to Urban Night Feast instead. (Don’t you love the phrase ‘street food’? To me, it sounds all grungy, smoky and messy while a crowd of eclectic people much on tasty morsels). Urban Night Feast ‘brings together some of the UK’s best street vendorsContinue reading “Urban Night Feast”

We hadn’t made a reservation (not knowing how busyContinue reading “The Fat Hippo”

LuigiKhans

We were so lucky to be invited to LuigiKhans for a dinner date. It was exactly what we needed! There’s this advertisement near to my house that I think is absolute genius. It’s advertising a Punjabi restaurant and there’s a picture of a naan bread with 3 words written across it: ‘There’s naan better’. IContinue reading “LuigiKhans”

Archer’s ice cream is made with local luxury milk by the pedigree Newmoor herd of Jersey cows. Their ice cream parlour in Jesmond has a rotating list of ice cream flavours, with at leastContinue reading “Archer’s Jersey Ice Cream”
