It was unseasonably warm weekend here in Berlin, which required something a bit off the beaten path. I ventured down south to Kreuzberg for brunch at Nest. At 11.80 euro it seems a bit steep for Berlin, but the quality was quite good (especially the baked ham and kraut — yum!). Worth a second visit for sure.
At a one of the local parks, there is a soviet-era looking monument, but perfect for Kai to practice his stair runs.
The little explorer is growing up fast
Kai has moved rapidly past the basics, and is comfortable experimenting with the finer side of Japanese cuisine at Berlin’s best restaurants. He happily devoured every dish until exhaustion came over him (he had been out since 1pm and now it was past 7pm) and I brought him back home.
We decided to move the Saturday brunch activity to Sunday so we could go exploring some new bio shops in Prenzlauerberg (which had a great apple cinnamon tea) and since Kai had such a good time at the kinder cafe the week before it was an easy decision to visit again since it was on the way home. Kai was having so much fun he stayed up way past his normal nap time, just like his parents (at least the way we used to be).
A brisk and cold weekend in Berlin, but we still adventured out into the city multiple times on Saturday. We started with Kai’s multi-course breakfast around 5:30am (note, 2 additional fruit courses not pictured here.) The first place was Barcomi’s Deli — with some solid bagels and a creative version of the reuben (Yukie really enjoyed it — a unique taste not offered by many sandwiches). And later in the evening Chika and I went to Kimchi Princess, which was excellent Korean food almost rivaling New York.
Sunday was a bit too cold, so we ate in with french toast in the morning and pasta (with a mushroom cream sauce) in the evening. We gave Kai just plain pasta. I don’t know how much he thinks of the taste, but it is definitely a fun food to eat. In any case, it’s time for the rest of us to start dieting.
go round and round. But we actually take a tram to take Kai to school 🙂
