Do I even remember much about this dinner? Of course not, it was ages ago. But I have badly lit pictures and I even took notes, so let’s give it a shot.

We had passed it several times on our way to markets or the giant kitchenware shop, Kookpunt, next door. We finally got around to trying it after being seated with the owners during Yama and Dertien’s Bday celebration. They insisted we stop […]]]> https://inebriatedpig.com/lof-der-zoetheid-rotterdam/feed/ 0 https://inebriatedpig.com/lebanese-flower-abu-dhabi/ https://inebriatedpig.com/lebanese-flower-abu-dhabi/#comments Wed, 29 Jul 2015 07:24:08 +0000 http://inebriatedpig.com/?p=917 We spent Easter break with friends in Abu Dhabi, and our first night was spent in a tent in the Lewa desert. The desert itself was a surreal experience, beautiful endless sand dunes, and no one around for miles. All we saw were camels, their dung, and of course dung beetles. We left the peace […]]]> https://inebriatedpig.com/lebanese-flower-abu-dhabi/feed/ 0 https://inebriatedpig.com/new-orleans/ https://inebriatedpig.com/new-orleans/#comments Sun, 26 Jul 2015 16:25:04 +0000 http://inebriatedpig.com/?p=898 Two and a half days is all I had in New Orleans, filled with meetings but with gaps in the schedule here and there so I could explore the city and try the food. I managed to fit four spots in, Johnny’s Po-Boys, Mr. B’s Bistro, Cochon Butcher, and Coop’s Place – covering an interesting […]]]> https://inebriatedpig.com/new-orleans/feed/ 0 https://inebriatedpig.com/mogg-and-melzer-berlin/ https://inebriatedpig.com/mogg-and-melzer-berlin/#comments Sun, 21 Jun 2015 09:08:24 +0000 http://inebriatedpig.com/?p=887 We had read about a pastrami sandwich at a Jewish deli called Mogg and Melzer in Berlin that was, apparently, the bomb. We made our way over there and when our trusty phones told us we had arrived at the location we looked in confusion at the huge, uninviting brick building, where was this restaurant?

But one thing that would not be excluded from our list is burgers, proper good burgers. We’d been to Burgermeister several times but our friend promised us something even better this time, The Bird Berlin: “All burgers are made from 250+ grams […]]]> https://inebriatedpig.com/the-bird-berlin/feed/ 1 https://inebriatedpig.com/seinpost-scheveningen/ https://inebriatedpig.com/seinpost-scheveningen/#comments Fri, 12 Jun 2015 21:50:36 +0000 http://inebriatedpig.com/?p=856 A business lunch in Scheveningen? I needed a view of the beach and boulevard, but most of the restaurants there are not really known for their culinary prowess. They’re places with loud music, half-naked people, deep fried finger foods, and cocktails. Not really what I was looking for, at least not for this occasion.  But […]]]> https://inebriatedpig.com/seinpost-scheveningen/feed/ 0 https://inebriatedpig.com/set-rotterdam/ https://inebriatedpig.com/set-rotterdam/#comments Sat, 06 Jun 2015 12:52:16 +0000 http://inebriatedpig.com/?p=825 I was still coming down from my ramen-high in Amstelveen when we noticed a new restaurant on the West-Kruiskade in Rotterdam, SET Noodle & Hotpot it is called. A ramen shop! Could it be?

It wasn’t until we went to Vietnam that we fully realized that the sandwiches there aren’t very authentic at all, though still flavorful in their own way. A few months ago, some entrepreneurial Vietnamese made a very Asian move by opening […]]]> https://inebriatedpig.com/pho-hanoi-rotterdam/feed/ 2 https://inebriatedpig.com/ishii-and-tanuki-amstelveen/ https://inebriatedpig.com/ishii-and-tanuki-amstelveen/#comments Sun, 31 May 2015 14:49:34 +0000 http://inebriatedpig.com/?p=811 My friend works in Amstelveen and when we met up for lunch he surprised me by taking me to a Japanese restaurant. In fact there were several to choose from, right next to each other, specializing in different things. I said, “Well which one is good?” And he said, “They all are.” Huh?
