Oyakodon (親子丼), chicken&egg rice bowl for lunch today. Ever since I tried it for the first time, made by Maco-chan in bar Zerro in Osaka - it has been my favourite comfort food of all. Made with chicken (thighs or breast) and onion, simmered in a broth of mirin, soy sauce and dashi until tender, made even more delicious by the addition of lightly beaten eggs, and then served over plain rice and sprinkled with chopped green onion. Every time I think of this dish my mouth waters and my memory takes me back to the tiny kitchen in the bar Zerro in Osaka, where I worked at the time. So many great memories! If you’re curious, recipe for this comforting goodness is already on the blog - and both the recipe and the photos are the documentation of my first ever oyakodon. Thanks again, Maco, for cooking and sharing this recipe with me ♥️ . . . #親子丼 #oyakodon #lunch #japan #japanesefood #comfortfood #chicken #eggs #soysauce #delicious #favouritefood #cooking #foodmemories #inthekitchen #osaka #barzerro #大阪 #懐かしい

Kluski śląskie (Silesian potato dumplings) are one of the foods that you either love or hate, but in this case, it’s down not to the flavour, but texture. A bit gummy, a bit chewy, I have always thought of them as pretty fun: they are quite bouncy for a dumpling!

Projekt Barrel Aged from Browar Maryensztadt, Poland 🇵🇱. After a (surprisingly) vodka-free festive period in Poland, I definitely have the taste for something strong, but moreover enjoyable. It works out better this way, because vodka drinking should be sociable, but when I drink this type of beverage I can happily admit that it's something I prefer to do alone (plus, I'm not willing to share!). A Russian Imperial Stout at 9.4%. Intense, dark and bitter flavours of coffee and cacao but with some slight fruity (cherry?) sweetness. Also some liquorice notes, which I always favour. This is just on the lighter side of being a harsh, difficult to drink beer. Not sure if the whisky barrel has rubbed off that much here, but it's definitely worth buying. 8/10. #projektbarrelaged #browarmaryensztadt #russianimperialstout #polishbeer #polish #stout #poland #beer #craftbeer #beerlover #beerphoto #beerphotography #beertime #beertasting #darkbeer #stoutlover #beerreview #beerme #beerrating #beersoftheworld #beerenthusiast #beernerd #beerappreciation #beeroclock

Proginis from Rinkuškiai, Lithuania 🇱🇹. Without actually doing that much, it's been a pretty long day. Due to legal requirements, I forwent any consumption of alcohol during the day to allow for a safe journey home. Of course, I have a couple of kinda-special beers waiting for me in the fridge, but after so much food I need something fairly easy for now. And once again, my Lithuanian buddy has sorted me out with a little taster 😉. A Pale Lager at 5.2%. Little bit of a malty sweetness but balanced with a moderate bitter finish. Not overly carbonated. Pretty standard but that's what I needed at this moment. 6/10. #proginis #rinkuskiai #lithuanianbeer #lithuania #lithuanian #palelager #beer #beertime #beerme #beerlover #beerdrinker #beerenthusiast #beernerd #beerphotography #beerrating #beertasting #beerreview #beergeek #beeroclock #beerphoto #beersoftheworld #beerappreciation

Porter from Kampanjola, Croatia 🇭🇷. Of course I've always thought the whole clock-changing business is inconvenient to say the least, but never before have I looked so much forward to the return of Summer Time. Waking up just before sunrise is difficult. Sitting by the window at work during the daylight is the best way to appreciate it, but leaving in the dark can be a bit of a downer. So it's kinda funny that this dark beer is one way to brighten up my evening 😉. A Porter at 6.2%. Relatively smooth, as opposed to watery, which I often find with this kind of ABV. A smokey, oak-like flavour with a hint of bittersweet chocolate. The only darkness right now that I'm not looking forward to finishing! 8.5/10. #porter #kampanjola #croatianbeer #croatia #croatian #istria #beer #craftbeer #darkbeer #beerlover #beerphoto #craftbeerlover #beertime #beerappreciation #beertasting #beerreview #beerphotography #beerenthusiast #beerblog #beerrating #beeroclock #beersoftheworld #beerme #beersofinstagram #beerdrinker

Lab-36 from Pracownia Piwa, Poland 🇵🇱. The funny thing about Sundays here is that I always wish that the shops were open, but every time Niedziela Handlowa (the one Sunday each month where shops are allowed to open) actually comes around, all I can think is that there is no way that I want to go anywhere! Today was also pretty cold with a semi-permanent fog - better to just warm up with another one of my winter specials: An Imperial Milk Stout at 10.2%. Aged in barrels previously used for Merlot definitely gives it that tart, grape flavour and feel, just without that weird, dry mouth sensation I get with red wine. It feels like the best combination of a stout and a wine but somehow taking only the best bits. Smooth and silky feel with almost no carbonation. Malt flavour with awesome oak notes and just ever-so-slightly sweet. Very easy to drink and kind of a shame that I don't have a suitable vessel from which to do so 😫. Will have to go on my drink-again list that's for sure, and hands-down a 10/10. #lab36 #pracowniapiwa #polishbeer #poland #polish #imperialmilkstout #stout #beerphoto #craftbeer #beertime #sundaybeer #beerblog #beerenthusiast #beerappreciation #beerme #beer #beerphotography #beerreview #beertasting #beernerd #darkbeer #imperialstout #beersoftheworld #beerlover #craftbeerlover #stoutlover #beerrating #beergeek

Candy Shop Nut Cake from Browar Deer Bear, Poland 🇵🇱. I was cold today. Not that it was particularly colder than before but I could feel it on my arms under my coat, therefore I'm calling Winter... Which means it's time for the winter collection of beers to be taken out of the cool, dark cupboard and given the opportunity to put that warm, fuzzy feeling into the lucky one who gets to drink them (well, me). An Imperial Stout at 10%. Already a few sips in and completely forgot about the strength, which means it's quite easy drinking! Moderate hazelnut/chocolate flavour with some caramel sweetness and hints of coconut. Fairly substantial body to it without unnecessary fizz. Not overly sweet, but then again I was kinda hoping for it! 7.5/10. #candyshopnutcake #browardeerbear #polishbeer #poland #polish #imperialstout #stout #craftbeer #beer #blackbeer #imperialsweetstout #stoutlover #beerlover #beerphoto #beerreview #beerenthusiast #beertime #winterbeer #beerphotography #beerappreciation #beertasting #beerrating #beersoftheworld #craftbeerlover #beernerd #beerblog #beerme

Sleeping Car Porter from Inne Beczki, Poland 🇵🇱. The gift of beer is always gonna go down well with me, but the trouble can come with my indecisiveness as to which one to begin with if there's more than one 😅. Luckily (and yeah I really mean it!), only a few weeks earlier I'd received this one for another occasion, so that made it easy! A Porter at 6%. Intense bitter, but creamy coffee flavour with a dark chocolate hint. Some faint cherry like notes. Bit dry, but quite an easy one to start the night with 🥳. 6.5/10. #sleepingcarporter #innebeczki #polishbeer #poland #polish #porter #beer #craftbeer #darkbeer #beerlover #beerblog #beertime #beerenthusiast #beersoftheworld #beerphoto #beerme #beerappreciation #craftbeerlover #beerphotography #beernerd #beerreview #beertasting #beers #beerrating
