264/356: Kung Fu Burger

After a hearty workout I decided to treat myself.

So I went to try a burger place I have never been to. I went to try Kung Fu Burger. The special thing about that place, as the name suggests, is the fact that it looks like a Chinese restaurant. The whole interior is very traditional, or at least what we Europeans consider traditional Chinese.

They only server burgers though and not that many. If I remember the menu correctly there are like six or seven different ones. I took the standard burger with cheese and fries. So a cheese burger. It looked really great (didn't take a picture) and tasted really well. There was a good sized piece of meat in it and the fries were really tasty. If I had to nitpick though I would say that the whole thing was a little too salty. Still, miles better than all the other burgers I have had in Bern so far.

I only took one picture because I always feel silly taking pictures at restaurants. Too many teens taking pictures of their food. Also it was quite dark and I didn't want to disturbe the other guests with the flash.

231/356: Kimchi!!!!!

Oh my, have I longed for Kimchi.

The titel of this post is a bit misleading. It's the not the first time that I had Kimchi or Korean food but the first time I went to the restaurant Arirang. Well it is also the first time that I was able to get Kimchi in Switzerland.

I have been looking for a place to have Kimchi around here for a long time and have failed to find something. Even my planned to get it brought here from Korea failed. So when on Tuesday night I decided that I wanted to try a new restaurant, I googled Bern and Korean restaurant. To be honest, I was surprised to find one.

I went, I ate and I was delighted. The food was really good but the main attraction was the little Kimchi side dish. It tasted just as good as I remembered. It wasn't the best Kimchi ever but the restaurant is run by a Korean family so they know what they are doing.

Also, Kimchi is a very personal thing for Koreans. Every family has their own recipe so it will probably never taste the same when you have it.

So in conclusion, the restaurant was good, I would recommend it and I will go again.

219/356: Restaurant Beaulieu

We had our kickoff for 2014 in the restaurant Beaulieu.

Lucky for me, I have never been to that restaurant. This means that I had my first for that day in the dry.
Compared to food I had at the Kickoff 2012, this time it was really good. I have had better but when you have to cook for fifty people at the some time, there is only so much you can do.

I will not post any pictures because I am not sure how my co-workers would like it.

197/356: Restaurant Plattform

I like to do a little something for my team at the end of the year. 

So this year I invited them to dinner. We went to the restaurant Plattform. I had actually never been there but I found it online and it sounded quite nice. the special thing about is, that it is more or less six different restaurants. So you have different kitchens, serving different kinds of food. I picked it because I thought everybody on my team will find something to eat there. 

The food was actually quite good but I guess that a restaurant that specializes in one kind of food is probably still better. I spotted something on the menu though that will make me go back there pretty soon though. 

Yeah, those are grilled grasshoppers. I so want to try it! I will be back in the next few days. 

191/356: Spaghetti Factory

I was about to head out to watch the second part of the Hobbit. Because I had no plans for today yet, I just went to a different restaurant.

I ended up going to the "Spaghetti Factory". Surprisingly enough I didn't even have Spaghetti. I did have pasta though. I can't tell you what the sauce was called but it was really nice. It was mostly oil and garlic. Oh how I loved the garlic. All in all I have to say that the restaurant offers a really good value. For the price the food is really good. I will be going back there.

I don't know why but it felt nice to go to a restaurant for lunch. One big hurrah for holidays. No pictures about the meal. I am always a bit embarrassed about those.

115/356: Just Another Day In London

So last Saturday was just another normal day in the beautiful city of London. And with normal I mean that I stayed in a new hotel, had dinner in a new restaurant, had drinks in a new bar and oh, I flew in at Gatwick, which I have never done before.

Always love to explore new things about this city. I really like being in London. After being here for three times this year, I start to feel like it is my home away from home.

The hotel was near Paddington tube station, so right in the middle of everything. For dinner and drinks afterwards we went to the area around Shoreditch high street. We went to a nice little place called bedroom bar.

All in all a great and fun day but it was just the warming up for Sunday. A little teaser in the picture below.
