848. Tallinn Part 3 | Medieval Restaurants

The old town in Tallinn has a lot of medieval style buildings and restaurants. We visited three of them. The main one is Olde Hansa which is one of my favourite restaurants here. We came here for the first time on our first day in Tallinn then several times after. It's a huge space, with 3 (or 4) floors. The staff are dressed in medieval garb and even speak the part (and they reuse the same jokes). Sometimes they have live music playing themed music. Inside it's quite dark and only lit with candles. Even though it's a touristy place, the food is really good. The photo above shows their entrance, where they have a stand selling freshly roasted honey-coated almonds.

An array of menus in many different languages

I always get the sausages dish which are a mix of bear, wild boar and elk meat. Along with a honey beer.

This baked apple dessert is also delicious

Another place we went is Ill Draakon. I really loved it here too. It's a tiny tavern style place inside the town hall building. The photo above shows the entrance. Their menu is extremely limited but everything is delicious and very cheap.

The elk meat soup here was probably one of the best soups I've ever had. It's really really good.

Lastly we also went to Peppersack. I liked it here as well but the experience in the other two restaurants are a lot more authentic. Here I had moose meat.

338. NYC | The Met

On a very rainy day in New York, we decided to visit The Met. We went on a Friday night when they opened til 9pm. It was my first time there and I LOVED it. I realize now we didn't get a chance to see even half of all the galleries. I would definitely love to return someday. I took so many photos there my camera actually died before we left. Here's part 1.





















PS: some of you may remember the invite-only blog I had before, where I typed out way too many of my private thoughts and feelings. The entries became too cringe-worthy when I read back so I deleted it all. Well now I started it again on my Tum-blog. I used to have the link on the sidebar here but now I took it off (it was my "photo-a-day blog") I find that blog easier to update than here because I can update whenever and be more honest. So if you're interested and somehow remember the link..go over there because I'll be updating that blog more often from now on!
