The Tower Restaurant, Chambers Street

-
Back in August, which seems like forever ago now that the temperature has dropped, my family and I went to The Tower restaurant inside the Museum of Scotland. It was a treat from my parents for my sister who had received her higher exam results that day. As you may think the food is fairly expensive and not somewhere I would go with my student friends but it was a great experience to go when I wasn't paying!!


The food was absolutely gorgeous and there were a wide range of choice on the menu. I went for soup of the day to start which was tomato that day. I was greeted with a large bowl of thick and flavoursome soup that I didn't want to end. For main I had the lasagne and as you can see from the picture above that I broke the number one blogging rule when taking pictures of food, to take it before you finish! This illustrates how good I thought the food was that I couldn't wait to dive in forgetting about any pictures I was going to take. 

Another asset of the restaurant as well as the food is the lovely view of the castle and the rest of the city you get whilst enjoying your meal. If there is a special occasion coming up I urge you to think of The Tower Restaurant as somewhere to go to celebrate with a lovely meal and an excellent view of the picturesque city of Edinburgh!!

Asian Adventures - Video Montage

Whilst away in Asia, I wanted to take as many videos as I could to make a video montage of all my memories from the trip. I shot the videos on a CAMKONG Waterproof Action Camera and an IPhone 6. Link to video montage - https://www.dropbox.com/s/1u8rstawtkzadsb/Our%20Asian%20Adventure.mp4?dl=0

Asian Adventures - Sihanoukville, Cambodia

We had an interesting tuk tuk ride from the centre of Sihanoukville out to our hotel. We arrived in the centre about 7.30pm and our hotel was 15 minutes outside the main town, near Otres Beach. Sihanoukville is a beach town with their most famous beach being Serendipity Beach. If you travel further along the coast you would come to Otres Beach where we were staying. We flagged down a tuk tuk and the driver said he knew where our hotel, Sok Sabay Resort was. He in fact did not, neither did he speak much English. We spent over an hour trying to find our hotel as the driver kept stopping to have a look at the map on my phone or ask people for directions along the way. As we became closer to the hotel there begin to be less and less people going about and soon it became just the tuk tuk driver and us on dark woodland tracks. I was genuinely thinking we were never going to get there or he was going to drive us into the woods, rob us and just leave us there! Thankfully, neither of those th

Asian Adventures - Siem Reap, Cambodia

Our journey to Siem Reap was long. Instead of going straight to Siem Reap from Sihanoukville, we had to travel back to Phnom Penh and then wait for an hour at the bus station to change on to the Siem Reap bus. This meant it took us 12 hours to get there! We've definitely did our fair share of long bus journeys on the trip. I feel I can do any bus journey now after being on one for 25 hours from Laos to Vietnam. Although I vowed never to do something like that again! We stayed at Sizen Retreat and Spa in a lovely bungalow surrounded by trees. We had a restaurant beside our bungalow and a great pool. We arrived quite late at night to check in so got food at the restaurant and then had an early night. The next day we went to Peace Café for lunch. We sat outside in their massive garden enjoying the sunshine. It's a vegetarian health café and they hold yoga classes their too. We thought we would have a healthy meal after all the unhealthy food we had been gorging on. T
