Time Out Corner


Welcome to Time Out, where you can eat 3 tapas (Spanish for appetisers) for £13, and have some amazing brewed tea and coffee!




No, I was not paid to say that but I do know the person who owns the place.
Timeout Cafe is situated in Nottingham, United Kingdom (sorry folks who aren't in the area).

When I first stepped foot into the cafe I was amazed by it's totally hipster and minimalist design and layout. It's a great place to chill and relax with a friend, a nice place to study in a group, or if you don't mind some music playing in the background as you grind your books, and of course, a totally great place for some hipster photos to add to your Instagram collection. They've even got a garden swing!

Excuse the sleeping person.
Apparently they had a hectic day when this was taken.

Have a look at their website for more information. But for the lazy bums out there, here's their menu:



Apologies for the smallness of the words, my blog can't stretch as far to accommodate. Boohiss

As you can see, they have a small but pretty diverse menu of popular Asian foodies and nomnoms. Plus, they've got a totally awesome vintage N64 with a variety of #oldskool games (and a vintage TV to boot), and a PS3 to keep you busy and entertained (sorry, FIFA only for now).

Please handle vintage items probably older than you are
with care.

Here are more pictures to make you salivate and hopefully make you come visit!







Sadly I do not have enough photos (because I believe I should be eating the food instead of my camera, but on occasional exceptions).

My favourite main dish is the Mentaiko (the red stuff (shrimp roe) typically found on sushi) Pasta:


I've had it about 3 times now. It has an interesting flavour, that's how I would explain it. It's got a little spice thing going on, some mayo? I can't really tell. It's  pretty much a fusion dish so expect some fusion! (I'm not sure if that was supposed to be a joke) Don't worry, they've now added the volume of the spaghetti so you'll get your money's worth.

Their (beef/vegetarian) Pho (vietnam noodle dish) is pretty good too. I like the flavour of the soup. Feels like home. You can even add fish sauce and Sriracha if it's too bland for your tongue. A heads up though, they serve quite a lot of noodles and the beef is supposed to be partially chewy and soft (think: medium to medium well), so don't be shocked if it doesn't feel properly cooked or if it tastes funny. I personally enjoyed it and finished it till the very last drop. Also I don't like wasting food I've paid for.


They've also got various tapas, as mentioned, such as Takoyaki, Chicken Karaage, Viet Spring Rolls and Korean Sweet Soy Garlic Hot Wings. These are the tapas I've tried. And I've loved all of them. This place is more worth your moolah if you go in a group of 2-3 people or slightly more. That way, you can order a variety of food and share among yourselves.

With all that said, do take note that this place only takes cash. However, there is a convenient cash machine located just opposite, outside a Sainsbury's.

Timeout Cafe is located at:
14-16

Nottingham, NG1 2NB
United Kingdom.

Locate the Costa and Starbucks facing Market Square, and make your way down the road between them. The cafe is on the Costa side of the walkway, situated upstairs, between Poundland and Central College Salon (or smtg).

There are three things I realised during these couple of days. One: Cooking Mama is available on Android! Imagine to my utter delight that this DS game would be playable on my phone! I've wanted a DS at one point just to play Cooking Mama because, hello, you can cook stuff without looking like a total idiot in the kitchen and burning it down?! I kid. I'm not entirely hopeless in the kitchen, more of the opposite actually *coughselfpraisecough*. Anyway, I would suppose the game's language settings are set to the one your phone's UI is in, but it also allows you to choose which languages you want the game to be in. Of course, Japanese is one of them (duh). The game is free, but (so far) recipes are bought by cash, and they ain't cheap. They come in a bundle of  about six or more recipes that you can cook and combine  with. Yes, combine. Now you can be the Michelin Star chef you've always wanted to be (or not). Since this game is relatively new, I don...

An Adventure Awaits!

It's been pretty hectic over the past few days, and now that I finally have some time to breathe , let me hand you some updates. Last Friday was my last day at work and boy did the girlies prepare a wholesome feast! Also I had a chance to try this yummeh thing: Beautiful cheese. Nanda Chicken, 11, Jalan Solaris 2, Solaris Mont Kiara, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur Just a note, if you like spicy stuff, this is your place. I was dying with level 1 spice. So proceed with caution and don't think you won't shit fire, cuz you might. You can thank me later. Me when I see cheese on my food.  Two things make me an incredibly happy person like in the picture above: 1) Korean food 2) karaoke. There's this Korean place called  in PV128 at Wangsa Maju that serves unlimited supply  of Korean food for the price of either RM25, or RM30. Most of its patrons go for the more expensive option since it appears to be more worth of it...

帰りたい

Have you ever felt this intense urge in your heart, this longing in your soul to go somewhere --  to return to a place you don't physically call home? It's been more than a month since I went to Japan. Suffice to say, I felt what I mentioned above at Haneda airport while counting down the minutes to my departure back to England. New and old friends patiently waited with me as I queued up to checked-in, ate with me my last Japanese dinner bought at the convenience store, and took an abundance of digital memories. These things made it all the more difficult to let go and leave. I put on a smile, wide enough that even my own consciousness is fooled, laughed loudly, assuring myself and the others that I will be back the following year -- the same promise I made the previous year. But life is unexpected and plans are ephemeral. The inital aim of this post was to reflect on my time in Japan (which was no less exciting as the previous time), but I guess it ended up sounding a litt...
