I can honestly say, without exaggeration, that I crave food from Roti King at least once a day. I think I may have subconsciously surrounded myself with people who love the food at this little Malaysian restaurant as much as me, in order to have an endless supply of people to take the weekly pilgrimage ...
Beany Green @ Regent’s Place
Attention all those who work near Regents' Place! A new café had opened next to the Sainsbury's and it's really rather good! You'll be unconsciously drawn to the bountiful bunches of fresh roses and the vivid colours that adorn the outside. As you get closer, your curiosity will be piqued by the bunches of green bananas ...
Lokys – Feast on the Food of Kings
Wild boar, beaver, quail and venison - it's no wonder this restaurant is named after the Lithuanian word for 'Bear' (Lokys). As you lope through this forest of a menu, your inner wild creature will take over as you let your feral instincts of scent and taste reign; and I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. Lokys holds ...
KIPFERL
Last night I met up with my 3 best friends for a winter warming dinner at Kipferl, an Austrian restaurant in Camden Passage (near Angel). My flatmate had been talking about how great it was for a while, and having never eaten any Austrian food outside Austria, I was keen to find out more! I love Camden ...
A Night Time Wander in Saigon
One of the best things about South East Asian countries is how alive the cities are at night! We only landed in HCMC at 8pm today then travelled to our hotel, checked in, unpacked leisurely and changed before heading out to get a feel for the city at night. We walked past the HCMC Opera ...
Nice Ice – Shaved Ice with Mango Purée, Mango Chunks & Condensed Milk
A little place called 'Nice Ice' just opened up in Greenwich a month ago and it's already attracting a lot of attention! I first tried mango shaved ice in a tiny little dessert place on the outskirts of KL with my local friends and I absolutely loved it, however I'd never dreamt that I'd be able ...
All Aboard the Big Red Pizza Bus!
On a rather deserted street in the neglected area south of the river known as Deptford lies a restaurant you absolutely must visit - the Big Red Pizza Bus! What started off as an abandoned bus on a scruffy plot of land has been transformed into a work of art and a place for people to ...
Poncho 8 – Take 2
After writing an article about how all the Mexican chains in London are identical and somewhat uninspired, I received an invitation from Poncho 8 (the only chain I wrote about that bothered with replying) to come to their new Paddington branch opening to try the new menu. I almost didn't go. I work pretty far away ...
Malaysia – the Flower of Southeast Asia
Malaysia - the bunga raya or grand flower of Southeast Asia. You can't help but be entranced by its vibrant colours and sheer beauty. An old photo of Malacca - hasn't changed much actually! I will eventually write more detailed posts about the places I visited - KL, Georgetown, Malacca and Penang. But first I wanted ...
Bosa – the Hidden Gem of Sardinia
Sardinia is a very popular tourist destination - you're guaranteed intense sunshine, beautiful beaches, turquoise water, excellent food and incredibly friendly people. However few people know about a little town called Bosa, which is why I like to think it's the hidden gem of Sardinia. A visit to this far flung paradise, immersed in local culture, ...
