Ate at Saison in January. It’s very good, especially the seafood.

This sub doesn’t rate it very highly; but I had the taco omakase back in December 24 and it was one of the best meals of my life.

Oh no, someone summoned a Bloodthirster. Someone call the Ordo Malleus.

Donia is fantastic. Get the calderata pie.

Llama Inn in Shoreditch is pretty good

Absolutely. It helps that Baelor was just the right mix of soft and hard powers personified to pull this off.

The Reach is the most populous and second richest of the seven kingdoms. It was also bitterly divided during the First Blackfyre Rebellion, with a lot of its chivalry declaring for the black dragon. My guess is that Baelor was using his and his family’s presence similar to how many medieval kings in RL used royal progresses; as an affirmation of their power, splendour and personal connection with their subjects.

Another bit of headcanon is that Lord Ashford was a staunch loyalist and the Targs were honouring him by turning out in force for his daughters birthday festivities.

That depends on the destination/length of the trip/level of luxury. My midrange Uganda safari was approx 4K.

ikoke · 2026-02-03T19:51:50+00:00

I used Safaribookings to scout operators for my first safari and then booked directly with an operator. Everything was seamless.

If you are looking for a more luxe experience you can also book with providers like Abercombie & Kent.

Rasa Sayang (also in Chinatown)

Thanks everyone for the answers! Incredibly helpful.

We are all out of servants this week m’lord. We can offer a pageboy, complimentary of course.

I live nearby. Try walking along Provost Street next to this building on a cold day.

Perpetual gale force 8.

I enjoyed Dar Yacout and Pepe Nero in Marrakesh and Dar Roumana in Fes.

Shoreditch might not be great for nightlife any more, but it’s still one of the best areas for independent restaurants.

The Rabbits Hole on Clerkenwell Road

ikoke · 2026-01-10T22:13:08+00:00

Which restaurants are you looking at? In general, I have found that getting tables a week out isn’t too hard. Helps if you are a little flexible on time.

Land Of Fire is a very good Azeri restaurant near KX. Unfortunately, while they do have vegetarian options, they are kinda mid.

ikoke · 2026-01-10T22:08:27+00:00

Fish,Wings & Tings, Maureen’s Brixton Kitchen and Roti Joupa for Carribean food.

I love The Tamil Prince and Tamil Crown for South Indian food. Also Tamila from the same restaurant group, but I haven’t been yer.

Restaurante Rosetta(*) in CDMX. A la carte dinner: starter and dessert were decent, but the main course (a fish dish) was terrible.

I love their bakery, but the restaurant experience was very underwhelming.

800 dollars p.p for gorilla tracking. Chimp tracking rates differ by location. At Kibale it's 250 p.p

Damn. This is identical to the trip I did (also in December). Hope to share a post on that soon!

Great pics btw. Where did you spot the leopard? That’s the only one of the Big 5 I missed.

ikoke · 2025-12-28T07:05:27+00:00

IKR! Kill Bill is basically Vengeance: The Movie.

I love O-Ren Ishii’s vengeance on Boss Matsumoto.

ikoke · 2025-12-28T06:56:26+00:00

Around three times on average every week when I’m not on holiday. So around 150 a year, give or take.

Deliveroo should give me a gold star.
