Kavey Nibbles

The Place of Onions, in old Lille. After last night's rainstorm the intense sticky heat has broken and today is cool, breezy, fresh... I love it! A drop of almost 15°C! It's been positively lovely strolling around the cobbled streets. We have one more evening, and will visit a traditional Estaminet for dinner. Tomorrow we'll head home again... and planning the next trip!!! What's your favourite city with a beautiful old town to explore?

We went to Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire at The Void this morning, an amazing VR experience where we got to be Rebel Alliance members going undercover as Stormtroopers on a mission! Being able to walk around, see ourselves and each other, talk, shoot (and see where our shots landed), it was so seamless. Amazing how virtual reality has come on! . . Afterwards we paused for lunch at @tapasrevolution, so delicious. Lovely to bump into @omarallibhoy there too, still very much hands on in his business! . . What are your plans for the weekend? . #virtualreality #spanishfood #tapas #foodshare #foodstagram #foodiegram #foodgram #instafood #foodie #foodforfoodies #foodbloguk #foodblogger #foodblog #fbc18uk #goodfood #f52grams #eeeeeats #onmytable #inspiremyinstagram #scrumptiouskitchen #feedyoursoul #comfortfood

Landed in beautiful, crazy, hot, humid, hectic Bangkok this afternoon. Follow along via #kaveyeatsthailand. We settled in to our all-suites hotel, freshened up and headed out for a very quick dinner in the same little soi as our hotel. The morning glory with crackling was to die for, the duck red curry delicious too even though it actually blew my head off! I think I'll be in bed by 8 pm local time, as we're being picked up at 7 am tomorrow for a tour and I can't keep my eyes open... Can't wait and am so excited to share my trip with you!

Visited @bangbangoriental for lunch again. Here's Pete's nasi goreng. I had a pork mushroom steamed bun, some chicken karaage and more coconut sticky rice with mango! . . #asianfood #chinesefood #thaifood #japanfood #colindale #thisislondon #lunchtime #foodcourt

How does the way we travel change as we get older? I contributed my experiences to this post on 40-Something Travel by blogger Brianne Miers, author of A Traveling Life.

Today's fabulous celebratory lunch at Elystan Street. Happy 23rd anniversary, Pete! ❤️ This is my rice pudding soufflé with English plum sorbet and sauce.

This review sample is from Nergi, a brand name of Fruits & Legumes France.

What makes it a FeelGoodSummer for you? #Ad For me it's an abundance of fresh fruits, flowers and herbs that enrich my life with vibrant colour and flavour. Inspired by the 100% natural Feel Good Drinks range of flavoured and infused waters including Strawberry and Mint, Apple and Rose, and Orange and Mango, my fruity picnic includes a few magical combinations of my own. On my summer table are bowls of watermelon with fresh mint, blackberries with a splash of elderflower cordial, strawberries tossed in balsamic vinegar and some fragrant lychees, fat purple figs and juicy flat peaches for good measure. Maple syrup for dipping, if you like!

Lovely to be featured in Chris' Departure Lounge series. Click through to read my interview and learn about some of my favourite travel mishaps, tips and ideas about travel.

Today's lunch in Little Korea: pork katsu donburi – pork katsu over rice, egg over the top which cooks with the heat of the pork and rice, some onions in there and that pink pickled ginger on top. Plus a little pot of miso soup and some mini spring rolls are included. £5.40 I think, well £6 including a can of soft drink. Love lunch options in Nnew Malden!

Really have a hankering for my Eton Mess Ice Lollies – fresh, ripe strawberries, double cream and crunchy meringue in a frozen format... Might have to ask Pete to make some for me this week!

Delicious lunch at Goldmine with the dim sum gang. Loved the dim sum, especially some items I hadn't tried before, and oh my fecking goodness, that roast duck was pretty damn FANTASTIC!

This gorgeous new range from @pierremarcolini just launched a few days ago and I've been sent a box to review. Of course the packaging is delightful, but it's all about the chocolates! These 'Songes' (dreams) include some very innovative ingredients such as pralines made from quinoa, spelt and barley, plus some of my favourite flavours – yuzu, bergamot, raspberry, lime and pink peppercorns. I'm diving in right now and they are so good! . . #reviewsample #chocolates #dreamsofPierre #instachocolate #foodstagram #howihue

Loved these hazelnut chocolate wafers provided as a snack at #Traverse17 on the weekend. Austrian, I think. So good!
