Catch Slava’s Snowshow at The Royal Festival Hall if you dare. It’s been touring, and winning awards for over 20 years. We managed to catch it in New York’s Union Square Theatre a few years ago, and it’s distinctively memorable. Probably an experience that will never be forgotten. Sitting in the stalls we were cobwebbed […]
If your are fortunate enough to catch the pop-up Samsung #10minbreak bus by Southbank, you may find yourself mesmerised by their virtual reality demo. Hear about their new products and how NFC (near field communication) is all the rage. After years of virtual reality technology not really hitting the mark, Samsung Galaxy has revolutionised it. […]
Shrektacular!!! DreamwWorks Shrek’s Adventures makes for an exhilarating day out in London. The new attraction is nestled in Southbank, in the shadow of the London Eye. Start with a bit of a sing song with Princess Fiona, before boarding the 4D bus experience. The interactive walk through an enchanted forest looking for Shrek is fabulously designed. Meet […]
Harajuku’s Kawaii Monster Cafe is a unique concept and all the rave, as a hotspot in Tokyo. Walk along a monster’s tongue into a multicoloured room with a huge spinning merry go round, cake. Surrounded by four funky themed zones to choose to sit in. It has a slightly crazy meets Willy Wonka hallucinatory style, […]
The Robot Restaurant in Shinkjuku is an exhilarating experience. The evening starts in a cycadelic lounge sat in a golden snail with neon lights and mirrors. It’s rather bizarre but that’s all part of eras mataz, that is rather whacky and intriguing.The arena is quaint and the robots huge. Front row seats guarantee the need […]
Tokyo’s Ginza region has some amazing places including the Lindt chocolate Cafe. The red Lindt truffle balls lure you in to this quaint cafe and we are sure glad that they did. The menu is mouthwatering. It’s a tough choice deciding between the decadent desserts. Chocolate fondants are a guilty pleasure but even more so when […]
Tokyo is full of amazing restaurants and international cuisines. One thing we noticed about some of the smaller restaurants was they offer niche Japanese food. If you want Katsu curry you will have to go to one that serves Katsu and if you want a hot bowl of Ramen there’s individual restaurants for that too. […]
With the countdown to Christmas beginning, the festivities are underway in London. The Christmas lights are being switched on across the city in readiness for the the festive season. Carnaby Street is always one of our favourites at Christmas. This year Carnaby Street is adorned with lovely, giant, funky, multicoloured disco balls and the side […]
Interactive Theatre International present a unique, theatrical dining experience at the lovely Kingsway Hall Hotel, in the heart of London’s theatre district. The moment you walk in you are cleverly immersed, as a guest, into Kate and Will’s big day. A wedding reception neither of them wanted. It is hilariously scripted, with the cast of four […]

Takeshita street in Tokyo has to be one of the cutest streets in the world with stores brimming full of pink, fluffy objects.
Imagine the excitement when I heard Dominique Ansel had opened a bakery in Tokyo. With years of visiting the New York bakery to be deterred by the mile long queues, there was a chance I could could finally savour an infamous Cronut. Or so I thought. Cronuts are a hybrid combination of donut and croissant, […]
It’s rather ironic you have to leave the country for the best plate of England’s signature ‘Fish & Chips’. Eating at the airport is not normally associated with amazing food, it’s usually a functional quick bite to grab on the go. Until Heston Blumenthal stepped on the scene. Heathrow’s Queen’s Terminal 2, The Perfectionists’ Cafe, […]
A chocolate show has to be a chocolate lover’s dream come true. With chocolate literally available on tap by Venchi, it was chocolate heaven. We were spoilt for choice with artisan delights from across the globe. Paul A Young’s salted caramel brownies are all the rage. The layers of ribbons of salted caramel on a […]
We stumbled across The Hairy Pig Deli, Stockholm in the rustic Old City Gamla stan. It was quirky with hog’s head and cured meats and dried spices hanging from the wooden beams. With just a handful of tables it’s rather quaint. The appetising menu of sausages and spectacular hearty, sharing boards of delicious tapas was a feast […]
