Trying Nepalese cuisine at The Gurkhas Restaurant

Posted on July 12, 2023August 19, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] I do not think I have ever had Nepalese cuisine before, so when Dann and I were invited to try some of the menu at The Gurkhas Restaurant, we both were pretty excited to try something so new to us! The Gurkhas was founded by Shrabaneswor Rai, who is Nepal born and is also the co founder of a few different restaurants in Islington. The head chef, himself, and his father-in-law were all inspired by the heritage of the Himalayas to create their menu.

A Day Out at Hobbledown Heath

Posted on June 12, 2023July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

Over the Easter Holiday, we wanted to make the most of the reasonable weather – so we decided to go to an outdoor adventure park! Hobbledown Heath is a new adventure park with tons of different indoor and outdoor play areas, actors pretending to be fairies and magical creatures, live animals to look at, and lots of places to explore. We went when they had a word-related scavenger hunt on as well, with letters posted up – which was very fun. It’s easily a place that you can spend an entire day out at, and we could have totally spent more time there then we did!

Trying Michelin Star Award Winning Pasta at Bancone

Posted on May 29, 2023September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I went with our friends Ryan and Tom to try some pasta dishes at Bancone! Bancone is a fancy feeling, yet quite affordable, award winning pasta restaurant that has a small menu of starters, mains and a few deserts to choose from, as well as a wine and cocktail menu. The place itself had a bit of a strange vibe. The outside, featuring a big white fabric awning didn’t seem to match the interior and felt a little dated. Inside, the place was very well decorated, but the music didn’t really match the feeling that you’d get when being at such a fancy place. This was something Dann commented on a lot since – that he’d change the music to match the venue instead of playing Smash Mouth and the like. But, let’s get onto the real star, the food.

A Day Out at Happy Birthday Sunita at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

Posted on May 24, 2023September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] We have visited the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch several times as it’s one of our favorites! The venue has a lovely cafe and a bar, as well as a stage for taking pictures and a little reading library at the back. It’s a lovely theatre that we are always excited to return too. This time, we went to see Happy Birthday Sunita – a play about an indian family, their dynamics, and Sunita turning 30 years old.

A Night Out at the Star In Shoreditch

Posted on May 17, 2023September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] The Star in Shoreditch has recently re-opened, after renovations and a name change! Previously known as the Roadtrip, Dann and I had not been to this venue before, and were excited to see all of the renovations and check out what this new hot spot had to offer.

When we arrived, we were impressed by the amount of outdoor seating this venue has! The Star in Shoreditch is very well decorated with an American theme; American flags, neon signs, and a lot of different seating! The place quickly filled up with people looking to see what this new venue was all about.
