If you want to get a great waffle in Berlin forget the ubiquitous and overrated WonderWaffel and head straight to Kauf dich Glücklich, a small fashion and cafe chain whose location near Eberswalder Platz also does waffles. The wait can be long at times as the kitchen is tiny and the cafe is always bursting … Continue reading Kauf Dich Glücklich – Must go!
A very cute and cozy Korean place in the heart of Schöneberg with a small but delicious menu. Pictured here is their kimchi jeon (a Korean pancake made with kimchi - Korea's national dish), which was made for a perfect light lunch, but unfortunately I found the portions a bit too small to constitute a … Continue reading Bab & Kimchi – Go if you’re in the area!

I personally really enjoyed their Bibimbap with beef €10.5, but I think at that price point I would have preferred the traditional raw egg yolk over the plain-old fried egg. I also missed the banchan (little side dishes such as Kimchi … Continue reading YamYam – Go if you’re in the area!

It hit the spot perfectly, and was as sweet and sticky as it should be, I just wish there had been a bit more of … Continue reading Lemongrass “Heng Heng” – Worth the trip!
What better way to counteract an oncoming cold than with a steaming bowl of #pho! This is a vegan version I had at Chay Village near Boxhagener Platz. It was almost souperb (see what I did there?), but the broth was a little too sweet and they were a bit too stingy with the tofu. Personal recommendation: … Continue reading Chay Village – Go if you’re in the area!
