Lieblingsplatz

Europe, Germany, Hamburg, Restaurants, ,

The restaurant Lieblingsplatz could – if it was around the corner – also become my favourite place. We visited this restaurant after I noticed it on television a few years ago. The supposed boss (you never know with TV) made such a patent, open and honest impression on me that this, together with the culinary promises, was reason enough to stop by there the next time I was in the area. At the end of February, we made the way of approx. 30 minutes from Hamburg to the south. Continue reading Lieblingsplatz →

Nicolas Basset – Chef Nico – is one of the most innovative chefs I have ever met. Before he started the BELGA project at Sofitel Sukhumvit, he was already sous chef at the MGallery Sofitel VIE Hotel.

The cuisine of the VIE Hotel enjoys an excellent reputation for a reason – for many years now, chefs of rank, name and stars have been coming here to set new highlights and pass on their knowledge.

Since the beginning of 2020, Nico has not only been head chef at BELGA but has also risen to the management level of the Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit with the position of executive chef – congratulations.

South Tyrol has been a reliable source of excellent bacon and sausage products for centuries, which is why many professionals in the field of bacon and ham production come from this part of Italy. Especially the ideal air conditions there have always been a guarantee for the optimal maturing of air-dried meat & sausage products. Continue reading MERANO bacon (Speck) →

Block House Hamburg main trainstation

Europe, Germany, Hamburg, Restaurants, , ,

Since there are real Prime-Steaks (RibEye on the bone) in the Blockhouse, our visit has basically become a ritual. In the meantime, I’ve probably already eaten about 50 kg of it there on my own…and if you add the colleagues, I am sure we reached more than 200 kg at all, at a price of about 49.- Euro for the grilled kilo in the restaurant completely fair.

PullmanChef Bunmee Nueangchaiyos – everyone calls him Chef Sorn – was the head chef of the Arcadia Elements Restaurant and sous-chef of many culinary events and functions at the wonderful five-star hotel pullman Arcadia Phuket.

It was a great pleasure for me to get to know him better in the short time we spent on Phuket. His friendly, open and always interested nature is more than a trademark. Continue reading Bunmee Nueangchaiyos – former Head Chef Arcadia Elements Phuket →

The Grand Richmond Hotel

Asia, Bangkok, Hotels, Thailand, , ,

Location, transport links and surroundings

The Richmond Hotel is located away from the crowded centre of Bangkok, not far from the Chao Phraya River. If you stay here, you will definitely escape the massive smog of the city centre, but there are still plenty of opportunities for activities. Not far away from the hotel there are some shopping malls, many small restaurants, a very nice park and also Wat Suan Kaeo – a not overfrequented temple with a beautiful garden – here one notices visitors as well as inhabitants quickly that it is more relaxed than in the dependency in the city centre.
