A new city means a new food scene to explore! Topokki Birmingham was my first venture into Korean cuisine. Why has it taken me so long? Fifteen years ago, a very vegetarian uncle went to Korea on a business trip and came back with stories of a dazed monkey, monkey brain and a straw. Scarred me for a good decade and more. Thankfully I forgot. Topokki was a treat.

I had about forty-five minutes yesterday afternoon between getting to my train station and getting on the train, so I decided to stop by Portuguese restaurant Tuga for lunch.
My friend and her boyfriend schedule in a date night into their lives to spend quality time with each other outside their home doing something fun. When she first told me about it I thought it was a great idea and decided to give it a go too.
It’s easy to miss Noodles & Magic when you’re hurrying down King Street in Hammersmith. Tucked away beside Books for Amnesty, on the ground floor of Appleton House, it doesn’t look very inviting in the day. But in the evenings when all the candles are lit, you peep in and see a few happy people bent over their meals, and it’s warm and welcoming.
