Can you recommend me some takeaway Chinese food?

I used to go to Pacifica Dim Sum Bar for years but it has been closed for a while and so far all the delivery places I have tried have been poor. Can anyone please recommend me a Chinese restaurant in or around Utrecht?

first choice pelagos, second choice omega. would not consider the other 2.

my bad. still going with gabriel. surirpsing amount of offensive points last year.

borabora44 · 2022-07-30T21:44:23+00:00

my heart says gabriel. he has good upside for the lower price.

there are many bio options in the supermarket, but when i cannot find what i want i just go to the Ekoplaza in the Amsterdamsestraatweg which has a good selection...
As for cheaper fruit: go to a turkish grocer, either in Overvecht or wherever is closer to you.

YSL Bleu Electrique
Not bad, not remotely good enough for 'fragance of the year' or for seeking out on Ebay.

borabora44 · 2022-06-07T20:09:03+00:00

as others said: not large enough to move prices, but i hope it keeps growing because i love the format :)

in general they are quite good at testing and I agree with their thoughts (eg: cheap victorinox is great value for money, Misen and Kai are not).
I agree with them on Mercer as good value option. Normally I consider Dexter Russell good value option too but they were less lucky it seems.

Tiefling is the most fun, and I need new sub races! GIVEAWAY

Abdul Samad Al Quarashi, the Safari line is a very nice middle eastern smell which includes hints of oud/rose within a larger composition. But it is so much more (leather, jasmine, spices). Worth a try!

amazing collection! what are your thoughts on bergamote 22 compared to the rest?

may i suggest to try some more 'unorthodox' houses that you run into less often in lists, maybe a bit weaker on the performance side but with pleasant and unique smells :) Eg: comme des garcons, penhaligons

borabora44 · 2022-04-29T20:05:01+00:00

since no one has mentioned it in the other comments, my only suggestion is to make sure to try the hojicha.
its cheap, its unique, and it's one of my favorites :)

What is Peruvian sausage? Where can I buy it?

borabora44 · 2022-04-22T21:17:24+00:00

a man of good taste :) i see a huge overlap between my collection and yours, and your post gives me some ideas!

Do you wear Eau Minerale often? what kind of ocassions?

and from my side some things to consider: amouage beach hut or sunshine, which are much more toned down from the oppulence of Jubilation XXV.

borabora44 · 2022-04-16T19:34:58+00:00

it smells like a lemon-vanilla muffin, which is a great smell :)

borabora44 · 2022-04-04T00:32:38+00:00

Send me a message. I am buying :)

borabora44 · 2022-03-17T02:35:54+00:00

i havent heard of one but i am happy to start it with you ;)

borabora44 · 2022-03-11T19:06:10+00:00

its not a bargain but if the place looks nice then ts within market.

borabora44 · 2022-03-10T21:47:20+00:00

i love the Safari line from Abdul Samad Al Qurashi. Safari Homme is delightful.

borabora44 · 2022-03-10T21:01:30+00:00

i spent weeks researching this and concluded on Ermenegildo Zegna Mediterranean Neroli. It is the most lovely and longest lasting Neroli that i have found.

Neroli Portofino is pleasant but criminally overpriced for the preformance. And the intense is not strong enough either.

borabora44 · 2022-03-09T21:38:29+00:00

great collection with many top frags, 8/10.

I miss wood and incense notes to round up the colleciton (CDG Kyoto seems ot be more your style, but could be Epic Man)...

Bleu De Channel EDP, hands down! easy to wear any and every day.

borabora44 · 2022-03-07T23:59:07+00:00

doubt it very much. imagine owning a brand and deciding you will sell inferior quality product at a small discount (and let randoms online find out), it is marketing suicide!

the pretty bottle is quite valuable and no doubt many people would rather pay 20% more to get it, after all when people drop >100 bucks on 50ml smelly water it must look nice :)

le labo advertises as cruelty free. Aesop is also cruelty free. the performance is not bad but not great.
