6 Course Meal at London Steakhouse Company Marco Pierre White

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I do love a romantic dinner out, and the six course tasking menu at London Steakhouse Company, by Marco Pierre White, is a fantastic, intimate, date spot perfect for Valentine’s Day. Dann and I have previously been to one of Marco Pierre White’s other restaurants, which had a more casual approach, so we were excited to try out this one as well. There was a doorman who took our coat, hung it up, and then we got seated. Their 6 course meal had a menu with a few set items and some items to choose from – and we also selected things from the cocktail menu. Now, it’s worth mentioning that the lighting here was quite dim, moody, and romantic. So, it was a touch challenging to actually take pictures, but we did very much enjoy our evening together.

Whirly Derby is a unique marble-racing game

[Ad – Gifted Product] Every other Monday, we play a board game at our local Geek Retreat and have a few shapes, as a way to kick off the week. This time, we played Whirly Derby with Robin, Dann, Amelia, myself, and Amelia’s friend who joined us for the afternoon. Whirly Derby is a very unique looking board game, being primarily made of metal and with rolling marbles made of glass throughout it. Setting up the board game is easy, as you sort of fold out a little cardboard base, plug the metal topper on it, and then add in the triangle ending bit, that the marbles come out of.

Eating Authentic Ramen at Tokyo Ramen Takeichi

Whenever we travel to any country for Pokemon Go, it’s likely that our friends Molly and Husky are there. And if they are there, they always recommend the best ramen places! Husky, like me and Dann, loves ramen – so he hunts out different places and tries them all. Tokyo Ramen Takeichi seems to be a franchise, with a few different locations, but we went to the one in Amsterdam! This chain started in Japan, known for it’s heathy ramens, and has expanded into Europe over the years.

Dinner at Cote

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I have actually previously been to Cote, as it’s a French chain restaurant, that always has seasonal specials that rotate. Last time we went to one in another nearby town, Dann had one of the specials, which he very much liked. I had the beef Bourgoin, which I was inspired to make at home for our family. This time, however, we were going to the one in Welwyn Garden City, though it’s very much the same vibe as the one we’ve gone to before.

Plus Plus Hexel – Fun Large Fidget Toy

[Ad- gifted product] We’ve previously reviewed Plus Plus, which are these sort of building piece toys, which can be plugged together to make a puzzle or build something, basically. Now, the same brand, has come out with the Plus Plus Hexel – which is designed to be a fidget toy perfect for kids who like to keep their hands busy while doing other activities. Fidgets are such a popular type of toy, it does make sense to want to branch into them, especially as the Plus Plus on their own have a fun texture and can be very soothing to play around with.
