NOT Korean BBQ at the Korean BBQ House Barbican

Posted on April 18, 2025April 18, 2025 by Jupiter

When Dann and I went with some friends to The Korean BBQ House Barbican, I was surprised at such a simple name and wasn’t sure what we were going to be eating. We were on a bit of a time crunch, and with 8 other people, so getting Korean BBQ didn’t make a lot of sense for us. I would have totally been down for a big BBQ, generally, so we agreed to come back sometime in the future and try that out. What really shocked me though, was how delicious their menu of not-Korean-BBQ-food was! We had a bunch of vegetarians and vegans with us, and there were so many good options for them too.

Watching (This is not a) Happy Room at the King’s Head Theatre

Posted on April 8, 2025April 18, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I were very excited to be visiting a new theatre – the King’s Head Theatre to be specific! This theatre is right by the pub of the same name, just around the corner really, and opens up to a box office, followed by a small bar. The theatre stage is down a few flights of stairs, in the basement, where it’s a C shaped seating with the stage at ground level, in front of you. This makes for a really intimate feel to the whole performance, especially as actors walk on and off stage by going through the seating.

Hot Pot at Happy Lamb Holborn

Posted on March 25, 2025April 6, 2025 by Jupiter

Dann and I don’t tend to celebrate Valentine’s Day on the day. There are always too many people out and about, and we have traditions that we do with our own children that we prioritise. However, we do take a day out of the beginning of February and go out for Hot Pot. Hot Pot is one of Dann’s favorite things to have, and it’s a food that you eat slowly, while talking and hanging out, so it’s a great way to reflect on your relationship and each other. As a bonus, it’s absolutely delicious! This year, we went to Happy Lamb in Holborn.

Seeing Illusions at the Twist Museum

Posted on March 19, 2025March 31, 2025 by Jupiter

After exploring the Paradox Museum and having a fantastic time, we decided to check out the Twist Museum, as it’s meant to be similar. The Twist Museum is in central London, where you enter and explore a bunch of illusions, learning how they work and taking photographs of what you discover. This venue did have more illusions technically, but it felt like less were interactive and the layouts themselves were also a little clustered and crowded.
