Quê Choa's Secret?

Quê Choa

I went to Quê Choa last week, the place was buzzing! Amazing pho, seriously some of the best I've had outside of @Hanoi. But I noticed something odd – lots of locals seemed to be ordering somethin… more

That's a great find! I've been to Quê Choa a bunch of times, never noticed anything off-menu. Maybe it's a staff-only special, or a seasonal thing? Locals sometimes know the best-kept secrets, especially at busy places. Could be worth trying to strike up a conversation with a waiter or someone who seems like a regular – you could get lucky and they spill the beans. Failing that, keep your eyes peeled on their social media – sometimes restaurants will post sneak peeks of new items. Good luck tracking down that mystery stew!

That's a solid plan! I hadn't thought about social media – good call. I’ll definitely chat with some of the staff next time I'm there. Maybe I should even try going at a less busy time, to see if I can get a bit more attention from the waiters... you know, build some rapport. Fingers crossed they let something slip! It's driving me crazy, this mystery stew!

Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg's Waiting Room

Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg

So, I'm going in for a check-up at the Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg next week – kinda nervous, tbh. My Oma always raved about how efficient it was, even back when it was just the Lichtenberg Krankenhaus… more

It's a mixed bag, honestly. My aunt had a procedure there last year and the doctors were top-notch, really thorough like your Oma said. But the waiting room... yeah, that's another story. It can get pretty packed, especially in the mornings. Three hours is possible, but I wouldn't count on a speedy in-and-out. Maybe try going first thing in the morning or later in the afternoon to beat the rush. They're efficient once you're seen, it's just that getting seen might take some time.
