If you visite Berlin, you maybe will take a walk around the Hackescher Markt. 
It became a well know hot spot now. Even late at night there are a lot of tourist there.
Although this area is nice but you know it's always a bit difficult to see it, when an area becomes very famous. It always has a danger of getting lost to the people who actually live in the town. 
But then, when you are there you get sure hungry on time after walking and shopping around. Well, there are a lot of restaurants you can go in, all quite expencive and not really the best in quality, but that's nothing new in the modern world on hot spots. I know only one exaption actually, but about that I will tell you later. But if you walk a bit up to another hot spot, the Kastanienallee or also called the Casting- allee, then you maybe walk on the side where a Jazz Club is and right after the entre, there it is in the backyard. First when you look up there you see like noodles hanging on the wall but right in front of you a lot of flowers too and a restaurant which you will like very much. It's vitnamese and not only the location is very nice and has also a little garden in the back too, where you can sitt and listen to birds and get the fresh food and soups and teas... 
All is made by the cook very well and the stuff is nice and you have no problem to talk to each other and because of the way how the location is made, it feels a bit like beeing in a film playing in that area of vitnam in the "good old times". Like that. Of cource, you have place for several people eating together, but best kind to dinner there is to be at maximum- four. Then you really can enjoy the time. 
You can chose from usually three or four day meals but also from a card. If you come after 3 in the afternoon, then I absolute recomend to take the calssic tea time choice, after main dinner. There you get tea, cakes on a plate, so very nice and sweet and good tasted. I always enjoy this "classic tea time". But there are also other sweets you can get after you hade your soup. And those soups by the way are not just a bit of food and the rest is whater. Oh no, you actually eat a lot for a very good price. So after all 5 stars from 5 from me. 
And here is the link to take a look at: 

the pic is from the facebook side.. I try to put more pics on this blog next days..

My 150.

..that sounds like much of a blogging but to be true if I look on blogs I follow, it is not that much and this is just because I do not have so much time and sometimes also not the theme to write about... Of course I could blog about cloths and stars, but as so many do this and as I think there is so much outside the world... well, it's just my 150. and I start with this---> my first restaurant critic...
I like to go out for dinner and so why not write my own opinion about it. Of course this is just my opinion and you could feel different at the same place or I just had the bad luck day...
Today it's the "Due Forni" Restaurant in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg. It's a mostly Pizza restaurant.
Well, I never really knew what it meant when people where talkin' about the Prenzlauer Berg style... Now I know... 
What is it?
Well first, the location has a good place, little up a hill next to a main street. It's successful and inside very classic, means.. like an easy place.. easy furnitures, easy painting, and all around the walls are words written and a lot of clocks of several towns from Germany and Europe hang up there and well the world. The logic does not appear when you watch 'em... The waitresses are very typical Berlin... easy private cloths, a mix of styles and tattoos... They are nice and smile, and also do smoke sometimes next to the guest outside.
The weather was good, so I was sitting outside and smoking was allowed and so the stuff did it too next to me. Well... 
The tables where not that clean but they had for each and every guest a paper to put under the meal you will eat... look at the pics... 
The prices are not that high but not cheap neither... but this would not be a problem if a salad would be in fact a salad... No- the Prenzlauer Berg style means... Do it by yourself... You have a knife... You have oil on the table and salt and pepper.. O.K:!
The pizza was fast ready, big and had not to less on it, but the taste did not blow me much... and could have stayed a bit longer in the oven. It was a bit to ... it should have been more crossy... like this... not that... how can I say it... I can only show you my face expression.. 
I missed to bite in the pizza. It was too soft. You understand? 
But as I said, this is Prenzlauer Berg Style. So if you are in Berlin and want to know and be part of it...this is the place, otherwise... you can find better places to have your dinner. Though as it seems many people seem to like it... maybe you can smoke there and have your kids with you without any problem. 
So 3 from 5 stars from me... :-)
