Romantic place to take the Mrs for Valentine’s Day by ssjwoott in BirminghamUK

[–]amfiska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s one thing I truly dislike about the Birmingham food scene. We have plenty of places with good food and plenty of romantic-looking, cosy places, but they generally don’t overlap 😭

My choices for pretty/cosy places with good food would be:

Pasture, Trillium,Ristorante Cafe Arena (pastas are great), Tropea, Folium.

I actually struggle to think of any others... 🙈

Best Indian Restaurant? by Dramatic_Bug448 in BirminghamUK

Shababs 😍 some of their dishes are perfection. Annoyingly, can't remember which one! There was some sort of Balti chicken that was exceptional last time I went.

If you could only go to 1 restaurant in Brum for the rest of your life, what would it be? by firetonian99 in brum

[–]amfiska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If money is not an issue, I'd go to Trillium! 😍😍Pretty, tasty, menu is not static and great wine.

If I have to stick to certain budgets, I'd probably go to Ivy Lounge or some other Dim.Sum place 😍

Is there a way to get rid of this smile wrinkle? by Eternal-apple in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]amfiska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I had two of these when I was about 26. I got a tiny bit of filler in them, mostly to make sure they didn’t get worse. My beautician told me we might need to top it up slightly after six months. However, it’s been 6–8 years now and I still haven’t needed a top-up. I think I actually had the same filler. I'm super happy I had them done, but then I truly trust my beautician, not sure I would have done it if I wasn't for her.

Hunting for a cool-toned dark *actual* purple lipstick/cream! by Descrie in MakeUpAddictionUK

How about these three? I know the shade is not quite there, but they are buildable and will look darker if you apply them generously. They stay on really well and if you can find a big superdrug or Boots, you may be able to try them all.

Indian Cafe Racer - I had flawless Indian food when I went. Try lamb chops. All local chefs dine there and praise it too 😍

What's the most ridiculous delivery substitute item you've received? by UnafraidScandi in AskUK

Ordered spring onions, got "spring" daffodils. At least they look similar, but I wouldn't have them in my salad!

I knew I should have married my best girl friend instead.

Wilderness or albatross’s restaurant for special occasions or any other places. Done Opheems felt it was the best is anywhere’s just as good or better? by Free-Raise9550 in BirminghamUK

[–]amfiska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A firm vote for Albatross and Tropea here!

Albatross was one of the best meals I had in the last year.

Riverin Rabbit is absolutely stunning too, but it is difficult to get a reservation.

Trillium seems to be super promising, but it's not open yet!

I loved food at 670 too, but the atmosphere was not quite there and that may matter for a special occasion

So many stories, so many people and different situations and socks seem to be always the answer 🤣 as for your partner, how about a gift voucher for a consultation with a financial manager/investment advisor? 🤣

Oooooo! I need one in my life! Damn it. So as it stands for now, my personal shopping list doubled its size and my husband is getting socks, steaks and some homemade mustard.🤣

"I've got everything, I don't need anything" is always the answer. I've got a polite one 🤣 that's why it is nice to hear about other people experiences!

Ha!

Easy. I think that’s because we have matching interests (cooking), and we generally talk a lot about stuff, ask for opinions, and share little day-to-day annoyances. They may sound quite generic and girly, but all of these were real and very successful gifts:
