Changmoh travels: Oxford

By Changmoh • Monday, 6 July 2015 • Brit Stuff, Day Trips, Food & Drink, Lobang City Guides, My Holidays, Travel

I have been utterly lame of late and blog posts have been horribly sporadic…I am, however, in possession of rather a good excuse. Namely that I am ‘book pregnant’. Stay tuned for more details. I am about 6 months away from publishing.

In the meantime, I have sloped off to the UK and France for the summer and am currently kicking up my heels in one of my favourite places: Oxford. This bastion of Britishness is on most peoples’ hit lists so I thought a quick shout out on two of the quirkiest places I have encountered in this historic, university dominated town might just be in order.

1/ A board game cafe – going under the esoteric name of Thirsty Meeples:

I love the concept of drinking coffee whilst building a Jenga tower (it could end painfully) and these chaps have a whopping 2,000 board games to choose from, and counting.

You can even buy games off them – new ones, don’t worry, they aren’t in the business of wiping them down and selling them on. Meeples is open daily from 11am until midnight. They have a cover charge of £4.50 per person. My top game? It has to be Guess Who.

2/A liquid deli – Demi John is a golden liquid filled treasure trove on North Parade.

Demi John - Oxford's liquid deli

Come here to buy truffle infused oils, olive oil, whisky, vinegar and more – most of which are sourced from small regional suppliers. The gin they used to stock here has recently won a contract with Tesco. Pick your bottle size from their stock of refillable empties, fill it up and off you go.

    The Chinese Angmoh

    The Chinese Angmoh
    Why the strange name? Changmoh is an amalgamation of the words Chinese & 'Angmoh' (local speak for Caucasian should you be reading this in a country other than SG) // I'm an English girl living in Singapore and love the local way of life so much that I actually think I’m half Chinese. Maybe even three-quarters // Freelancer writer, author and editor ... you read it here first.
