Happy Father's Day
Like Father – Like Daughter So, today is Father’s Day. As we live in different countries, we can’t hang out today BUT as soon as I heard he was going to be eating dimsum there was only one thing I would doing in Germany. We quickly looked online for the best dimsum in Berlin and went to Aroma Restaurant. The restaurant was good, better than average but not as good as the Royal China in London – I think that place is actually unbeatable though. I was pleasantly surprised at the selection and good service. Online, the Chung Fan came recommended and it definitely was delicious. If you are having…

The best cheesecake I have found in Berlin Part 2
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker’s man, Bake me a cake as fast as you can… So this isn’t the first post about cheesecake and it probably won’t be the last (here and here). But this one needs to be talked about! Guys, this is possibly the best cheesecake I have ever eaten. And in my lifetime I have eaten (and made) a LOT of cheesecake. A lot of cows have been milked in order to feed my cheesecake cravings. In fact, I could probably write a whole book on these tasty slices but instead I will write a little blog post and tell you about my current favourite. I have devoted a…

His big round belly proved that the food was going to be good. And when the plates arrived, I understood why someone had written across the menu: Biggest Schnitzel in Europe. I didn’t know where to start. My lovely Berlin friend had texted me at just after…

Tell me more, tell me more… Our lovely German friend and her boyfriend have the loveliest weekly custom. Every Saturday they wander around the Winterfeldt Market and then go for brunch at More. The market is lovely. It feels posh, with nice looking crafts and organic food. You can even buy healthy oil to go on your morning cereal, if you like that kind of thing… But let’s get to the food! The place is called More and that is what you want. More and More and More. It is swish, all in red and full of gay men. It is in the famous gay area of Berlin. The shops…

Paradise in Berlin – Wannsee
When autumn leaves start to fall It didn’t feel like we were still in Berlin. There were rivers and bridges and parks. We had been told about this place called Wannsee in the south-west of Berlin during the summer. We finally made it here in the autumn, just as the leaves were turning and starting to fall. It was the perfect autumn day. In the summer it is a big beach and people swim in the lakes. In the winter, everyone grabs their ice skates and gets on the frozen ice, skating for hours of free fun. One friend told us her mother had taken her and her two siblings…
