We had previously visited all the countries surrounding Slovenia—Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia—but somehow bypassed this small country in Central Europe. In the centre of Slovenia is Ljubljana, the capital and the country's largest city. We stayed here for a day and explored the Old Town.
HanTing Cuisine
HanTing Cuisine is our favourite restaurant in The Hague. A fusion of Chinese and French, the food is creative and well-balanced. It is also reasonably priced for a one Michelin star restaurant.
On our most recent visit, we ordered the Tea Menu with the suggested tea pairings. Each course was served alongside a tea with different herbs according to Chinese dietetics to create harmony in the body.
