Harlow Chinese School – Spring and Summer Rolls

The Harlow Chinese School does a cooking club every few months as a fundraiser for the school itself. It’s always a very community feeling thing, where Sun Yung teaches us all about a bit of food from Chinese culture, and we enjoy eating it and making it. This class is always very family friendly and enjoyable, without having to do too much cooking, and with a big focus on community and eating! This time, the course was very quick in time, as the summer rolls were the only thing that really needed cooking. They actually brought out some pre-made spring rolls to snack on, while we waited for ours to cook.

Water Wipeout at Lee Valley White Water Centre

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to nice weather, we are always looking for new activities to do out in the sun! We have been to Aqua Splash parks before, but had not taken the short drive to Lee Valley White Water Centre to try out their Water Wipeout!

Takumi Ramen Kitchen – Ramen Delight

When meeting up with a few friends in Milan, our friend Husky said “do you want to try the best Ramen of your life?” and, curious, Dann and I headed there. Sadly, they were heading off to the airport, but we were excited to try out what could be the best ramen ever. When we arrived at Takumi Ramen Kitchen, the atmosphere was fantastic. The internal decorations were cute, the waitress was nice, and we were excited to take on some lovely food.

Stomp the Plank – Good Balance is Rewarded

[Ad- gifted product] Stomp the Plank is one of those board games that you take out of the box, realize that you need to use the box, and are instantly impressed. All of the pieces; the boat, planks, and the characters, are absolutely fantastic! It’s a very easy game to learn, but difficult to master when it comes to the luck aspect of the game. It’s one of those push your luck style games, this time with a story about stealing treasure from a Pirate!
