Shizen Asian Cuisine – Restaurant review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:00:46 +0000

After our amazing trip to Maastricht, we decided to make a stop at Den Bosch on our way to Leiden.
We found this beautiful restaurant Shizen Asian Cuisine online and we decided to make a reservation. Since the one at Hofplein was already fully booked, we tried to make a reservation at the one at the Vijverlaan. Luckily they had a table left for us and they told us that it was actually their opening day.

When we arrived at the restaurant we were directly impressed by the wonderful interior. Everything was brand new and it looked absolutely outstanding!
We sat down at a table near the window where we had a good overview of the restaurant. We decided to go for the regular all-you-can-eat dinner menu and we were happily surprised by all the options that we got to choose from.

They serve more than 90 high quality original fusion, sushi and grill dishes (!!). The sushi and all the other dishes tasted incredible and it was definitely one of the best dinner experiences that we ever had before. The waiters in this restaurant are very kind, professional and hardworking and you will receive your chosen dishes within a decent amount of time.

Therefore, we would absolutely like to visit this restaurant again and we recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes the Asian cuisine at its best!

Interview – Brouwerij Breugem

Nick Riethoven — Fri, 19 Jun 2020 16:30:00 +0000

We have partnered up with Brouwerij Breugem since august 2019 and we have reviewed almost all of their beers. But who are the people behind Breugem? First of all, we have Patrick Breugem. He is the founder and owner of the brewery. Together with Ernst (shareholder) and Marcel (Beer connoisseur/accountmanager) they create all different sorts of amazing beers.

During the pandemic, sales declined eventhough retail and liquor stores stayed open. The deliveries to restaurants and cafés stopped, so Breugem and his team had to use their creativity to overcome the decline in sales.
Breugem now offers a special beer box with beers from breugem. Also, you can buy special boxes with food and drinks from local partners. In this way, you can enjoy your beer with matching snacks.
They also changed the appearance of their flagship beer ‘Zoentje’ by selling it in a can instead of a bottle.
Moreover, the most important change is the new online webshop at brouwerijbreugem.nl.

Futheremore, the brewery sees, as a positive effect of COVID-19, a lot more people drinking beers at home and sharing their opinions via platforms like Untappd. They rate the beers and give an explanation why they gave their rating. Because of this, the bond between the brewery and the customer has been strengthened since they now have the opportunity to interact more with their customers then before.

It is also possible to follow this brewery on their Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn page and you can sign up to their monthly newsletter via their website! We will keep reviewing their beers so make sure you follow Breugem so you can stay up to date with the latest beer developments and special offers!

We love their work and we think you will too!

Brouwerij Breugem – Asian White

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 16:13:11 +0000

We have drank almost every beer from Brouwerij Breugem except this one.
The Asian White is a wheatricebeer with freshly grated Galanga root (a plant close to ginger) and Djeroek Poeroet (lime leaves).
This beer is a typical summer beer, since it has a low alcoholpercentage and because it has a very fresh and citrusy flavour.
This beer won silver in the category of “White Beer with extra ingredients, Beer with Spices”, Kraft Roku 2017.

Information about the beer:
Malt: Wheat, Pils, Sour and Rice flakes
Hops: Cascade
Various: Laos root en Djeroek Poeroet
Bitterness: 16 EBU which means that the beer has slightly bitter flavour (EBU= European Bitternes Units).
Alcohol percentage: 4,6%

We were surprised by the fresh and balanced flavour of this beer. We truly loved it and we would definitely like to drink this beer again in the future. This beer is absolutely recommended as a wonderful beer to drink on any occasion!

Roem’s streetfood culinair

Nick Riethoven — Sat, 18 Jan 2020 19:00:00 +0000

A long time ago, we reached out to Roem’s streetfood culinair for a sponsered review. Last week the time had finally come, we visited Roem’s! The restaurant is located in the Teleport hotel in The Hague and it has free parking behind the hotel. We entered the restaurant and we were directly greeted by a very kind and professional waiter. We sat down, ordered a beer and a white wine and waited till the waiter came with the menu. Little did we know that they use a chalkboard with a daily selection of dishes depending on the season and markt offers. This means that the menu is never the same which makes it a true surprise what you are going to eat!
The dishes are designed to share and all the dishes have the size between a starter and a main course. You can choose as many dishes as you want for just €8,50 per dish! The waiter told us that most of the people order 2 dishes per person, so that’s what we did.

The 4 dishes we choose were smoked salmon on brown bread and sticky gamba followed by loaded fries (fries with cheese, ground beef with some sauses on top) and truffle rissoto.
The dishes were incredibly good especially the salmon, gambas and risotto. The loaded fries were nice, but couldn’t compete with the other ones. As a dessert, we ordered a cheese platter and pancakes with a tasty sweet maple syrup. These were both very delicious!

We had a wonderful evening here and we enjoyed the amazing hospitality! This restaurant is definitely recommended to everyone who loves to enjoy streetfood and the tapas kind of eating style! You will definitely get a amazing experience and service here!
