  • Burger King, slow fast-food -

    Today while waiting for a train, we decided to go grab a quick bite at the Burger King. Everything else was closed at the station (and that is half past eight in the evening in Amsterdam!). We decided to go healthy and take the chickenwraps. There was nothing wrong with the wraps, they were quite […]

  • Early breakfast at Bagels & Beans -

    Sundaymorning…normally I sleep in till at least double digit hours, but today I got up early to have an early coffee with an out-of-town friend at the Bagels & Beans. Nomen est omen.

Here we ran into a place called Het Vlaamsch Broodhuys (The Flemmisch Breadhouse). It looked interesting and more appealing than the suit&tie place we checked out and ran away from earlier. […]

  • Where is Starbucks? -

    During my recent visit to my Madrid, I got to enjoy the Starbuck experience every day. Like in the States, Madrid is flooded with them and I don’t mind. I love their Chai Tea Latte and their Koffie Verkeerd and especialy their whole wheat muffin. Sinful eating, but not feeling guilty, because it’s whole wheat. […]
