There’s something undeniably satisfying about street food. Maybe it’s because it’s quick, convenient and relatively cheap. Maybe it’s the smell as you pass by and the noise of sizzling pans. Maybe it’s how you can travel the foodie world just by going from one stall to another. Maybe it’s a combination of all of these things.Continue reading “The Street Food Cook Book”

Les Petits Choux
I first heard about this adorable little café after reading Cloud In A Teacup’s post, and knew that when I next had an opportunity for lunch in Newcastle city centre that this would be at the top of my list. It’s a tiny little place (just behind Barker and Stonehouse, near St James’ Park, on LeazesContinue reading “Les Petits Choux”
Man vs Food, South Shields
Now, I’m going to be honest with you here. Man Vs Food in South Shields (they also have a branch in Heaton as well) is not somewhere that I would ever choose to visit. I’m not into huge portions of meat smothered in BBQ sauces which is impossible to finish. However, I was not makingContinue reading “Man vs Food, South Shields”
Afternoon Tea at The Great British Cupcakery
It was my birthday a few weeks ago, and what is a birthday without cake? Well, nothing (in my books!), so a friend and I booked to go and have afternoon tea at The Great British Cupcakery in Newcastle, which is just by the Quayside. I’d never visited before, but I follow them on InstagramContinue reading “Afternoon Tea at The Great British Cupcakery”
Dabbawal
We were invited for an evening of fun Indian dining at Dabbawal. This is how we got on… Before I started dating my husband, I never really ate Indian food. If I got a takeaway it would always be Chinese, and I’d never go to an Indian restaurant over an Italian restaurant. Now though, timesContinue reading “Dabbawal”
River Bar
We were kindly invited to visit River Bar in Washington which has just had a major refurbishment. However, as always, are thoughts are completely our own about the experience we had! It was Easter Monday. The sun was shining, and we’d just finished a long walk from our home to Newcastle Quayside when we hoppedContinue reading “River Bar”
St Sushi
When we lived in Chengdu, there was this amazing Japanese restaurant that served the most delicious noodle broths. The restaurant was tiny, only having about 10 seats and diners sat all along a long table. The waiters would ask you millions of questions in Chinese about everything about how you’d like your egg cooked toContinue reading “St Sushi”
Sohe, Jesmond
We were invited to try out Sohe‘s lunch menu last week. So I took my brother along so we could both escape uni revision for an hour or so. Here’s how we got on… J: There’s a lot that can be said for Osborne Road, the Jesmond street popular with just about anyone who enjoys aContinue reading “Sohe, Jesmond”
Quilliam Brothers
Quilliam Brothers has been at the top of my ‘must-visit’ places for some time now. It’s a teahouse with a very European, continental feel, and a home cinema in the basement. Located close to the Hancock Museum, it’s in a prime location for students, and extremely popular, judging by the queues sometimes waiting to be seated. Luckily,Continue reading “Quilliam Brothers”
