>> Culinary Excursions: My First Time at a (Very Good) Vegan Restaurant - Mildreds in London! 🇬🇧🥥🍲🍍🥭

Hello everyone, Welcome back to your favorite blog about vegan cuisine. As you might remember, if there is one thing I absolutely like about London besides the theatre, it’s the international food options. As previously discussed on this blog, I went to quite a few restaurants last year. One of them was a true highlight! This is because I had never been to a vegan restaurant before, so naturally it was not exactly my first choice. To be honest, when I think of vegan food, intense flavors are the last thing that comes to mind… but sometimes, the greater the skepticism, the greater the positive surprise — as in this case! I just remembered this restaurant visit because I signed up for their newsletter and got an email from them today. This Sri Lankan dish is what I had - that was a premiere too 'Mildreds is a London-based plant-based restaurant chain that started in 1988 in Soho. It has since expanded to several locations such as Covent Garden, Camden, King’s Cross and more, each wi...

Hello everybody, I hope all is well. Welcome back to your favorite blog about t ransport and travel disruptions.  I have just read that London Underground workers have gone on a 5-day strike! It started on Sunday and will last until Friday morning. This could be the longest one yet that I can recall and I am wondering how I would have managed to get to work under these circumstances if I were currently in London with the responsibility of getting to my workplace on a daily basis.

Hallo liebe Leserinnen und Leser, Wie geht es euch heute? Willkommen zurück. Während ich das hier schreibe, regnet es draußen mal wieder. Schließlich ist es London. Es gab schon länger kein Update über mein Leben und ich möchte euch einen kleinen Einblick geben, wie der Alltag in London aussieht. Das könnte besonders interessant sein, wenn ihr aus einem anderen Teil der Welt kommt. In diesem Artikel werdet ihr das Londoner Wetter, das Londoner Essen und die Londoner U-Bahn sehen. Alles zusammengestellt von der Chefredakteurin eures Lieblingsblogs: IBreakTheNews. Also kommt mit, während ich euch zeige, wie das Leben in London meistens ist – um ehrlich zu sein, habe ich die Momente mit teilweise gesperrten U-Bahn-Linien und überfüllten Zügen, die häufig vorkommen, weggelassen. Viel Spaß!   Wenn ich zu Nando's gehe - bestelle ich das: 'Nando's ist eine internationale Restaurantkette, die vor allem für ihre portugiesisch-afrikanische Küche bekannt ist. Die Speisen von Nando...
