I love a good meal with a view! Food tastes so much nicer and wine goes down so much smoother when there’s a great view to accompany your meal. Arriving in Ho Chi Minh City (I’m just gonna refer to it now as HCMC), one of the top things recommended to do was to go … Continue Reading
You always start off with grand plans – it’s gonna be all great, healthy balanced, fruit and vegetable-filled meals when you travel but somehow, hunger, desperation and food-envy lead you down the wrong path of eating the worst kind of food. This is great when you’re away from home for a few days or even … Continue Reading
One of the most vital parts of any trip to Singapore is to get yourself a Singapore Sling! For those who don’t know what it is don’t fret, it’s not a sling of more ‘adult’ type.. Hehe! A Singapore Sling is a cocktail! There is so much history behind the Singapore Sling and it is probably one … Continue Reading
London is home to pretty much anything anyone would ever want from a city. I mean, there’s a whole load of secret spots to see, amazing and unusual sites and some amazing independent coffee shops. You’ll be spoilt for choice. Best of all, its got all the usual foody offerings and pretty much every niche … Continue Reading
“And where is this place that offers the promise of amazing cocktails and entertainment all topped up with a stunning 360 view across not just the country it is in but some neighbouring countries in the distance?” You ask. It is 1-Altitude in Singapore. And just in case you were wondering, nope, this is not a … Continue Reading
I’ve been craving pies lately. Okay, I know this is nothing new (I always crave pie!) but this time I found myself near the supermarket and thought -why not? I’ll make a pie today. I like all kinds of pies… except pies with mushrooms in it – I just can’t get aboard the mushroom bandwagon, … Continue Reading
I’m a big fan of pies! I don’t remember a pie I’ve ever said no to. Lately, I’ve been house hunting and spending ages looking at amazing homes on the internet and so to distract myself (intentionally or otherwise) my mind keep turning to pies. This is nothing new – I have my mind on … Continue Reading
Found these photos I took on Christmas day in the past and wanted to share them with you! I basically just went around the house, taking photos and scoffing everything I could lay my hands on (without my hands getting smacked away of course). This is a collection of the various things that went on … Continue Reading
On a rather cold Sunday afternoon, I went off in search for a little something… Â Well three things actually and I figured the best place to find them was Borough Market. To be honest, I was just looking for an excuse to head to Borough Market. It is one of my favourite places to wander … Continue Reading
Twas the night before Christmas…. The cat was getting drunk on mulled wine… Santa, all ready for Christmas, took a bit of time off for some festive golf… …before heading out to deliver presents! Unfortunately however, Rudolph wasn’t having any of it! So Santa had to resort to more creative ways to deliver the presents… … Continue Reading
I’ve slowly come to the realisation that a lot of people I know like Pork Pies. They’re quintessentially British and a traditional staple across the UK. This Christmas, I figured I’d try my hands at making one using a hybrid of two recipes and things having run quite swimmingly, I figured I’d share the results … Continue Reading
Been meaning to put up a post to say this for ages but since I couldn’t figure out some ridiculously eloquent way of saying this, I figured I might as well blurt it out. As you already know (it’s no secret really), I’m a huge fan of FOOD (hence why there’s a whole category on … Continue Reading
Part of the reason we started Hand Luggage Only was to connect with more people who share our passion for travel so I am always delighted when we find out more about anything food or travel related. I still get excited when someone tells me about a restaurant/bar/new attraction that I haven’t been to in … Continue Reading
… and I’m not typically a burger person but more on that later. But before we get started, I’m gonna recommend that you honker down with a nice cuppa tea (or perhaps even a margarita) as this is a rather photo heavy post. 😉 One of my favourite parts of living in Central London is being … Continue Reading
