My Saturday in Glasgow was definitely a combination of new places during the day, and some old favourites in the evening…
As nice as a full Scottish breakfast may be, when presented with the option, I like to try something more exotic as well. As it happens, nearby Thai restaurant Chaophraya only recently started serving breakfast! I ordered the Khai Krata fried eggs with Thai sausages, and was happily surprised. At first I thought the sauces were just ketchup and brown sauce, but oh boy, was I wrong: the red sauce was some kind of chili sauce, the brown one a spicy soy sauce.
My next National Trust for Scotland destination was a bit out of town, so I had to take another Scotrail train to Milliken Park. From there it was a little bit of a walk to the Weaver’s Cottage. While they were originally linen weavers, they changed with market demands, and started weaving tartans as well, and many other things!
Back in Glasgow, first had a stamp, a beer, and a smash burger in BrewDog Merchant City.
I then had some coffee at Off the Rails, and beer at Shilling Brewing Company. Their guest selection has definitely improved since the last time I was there!
It was about time I had some Indian food for dinner again, so hoping for a table, I went to the busy Chaakoo Bombay Café. In less than fifteen minutes they could seat me, so I could order and enjoy my Masahari, keema matar, mango chutney, and garlic naan.
The highlight of the evening was without a doubt my visit to the Koelschip Yard. Refreshed from the outside, but still the very welcoming neighbourhood vibe on the inside. Once you’re dragged into a conversation with the regulars, you’re in it for the night. And the beer list is still banging, of course!
Side note: In this bar where I drank Epochal beers for the first time, they haven’t got a clue what’s going on with them either!
On my way back to the hotel, I made a last stop at The Pot Still for a wee dram. Truly a night well spent!
