Frites Atelier Antwerpen
Crazy about fries! Remember my blog post about the beautiful railway station of Antwerpen? Visiting the station was part of a day trip to that city, together with my father and brother. My mother passed away shortly before the 62nd wedding anniversary of my parents, so my brother and I decided to take my father […]
La Cucaracha Zwolle
La Cucaracha Zwolle I had only one evening, so also only one dinner, during my recent city trip Zwolle. I decided to go for Mexican food at La Cucaracha. Why there? Well, the main reason was that this Mexican restaurant is owned and run by our friends Silvio Platje and Jo Routledge. As I said in […]
My 10 favourite bars and restaurants in Tokyo - part 1
Where to eat and drink in Tokyo Let me tell you upfront, people: I’m not an expert, when it comes to where to eat and drink. I’m not a foodie. At. All. First of all I’m a very fussy, non-adventurous eater. Secondly, I have diabetes and I’m on quite a strict diet because of that. […]

Burgers and Beef. &MADE versus Lawry’s.
Since we moved to the Beaumont, we do more cooking then we did at the Sail. That’s easy, since at the Sail we did no cooking at all;-). Strangely enough, going to a food court (aka very basic, local food, simple tables and stools, no glitz or glam, but fine food) is way cheaper then home-cooking. […]
Pasarbella Market. Singapore’s coolest Farmer’s Market.
It’s pretty far out, but well worth the trip; Pasarbella Market at Turf Club Road is one cool place! It is a farmer’s market, filled with delicious F&B outlets and high quality groceries. I love the cosy ambiance with all the corners and nooks and decorations! Obviously you can go there to shop for gourmet […]

Things to do and see at iLight besides the art lights
As if walking along Marina Bay, soaking in the atmosphere and admiring the light art is not enough, there is more to do and enjoy during your iLight walk. Camera settings can create romantic images, can’t they?! You can simply do some people watching; never a dull moment with such a divers crowd. Similar to […]
