Hello London! A day of eating out again

Hello London! A day of eating out again

April 26, 2021

Hello London! I finally, finally had a day of eating out again in London and I am unbelievably happy and content right now. It has been more than a year since I took a train out to London and what was quite a normal part of my life had become something that felt scary and foreign. This pandemic has changed and affected all of us in some way and to live with a bit of normality now feels rather strange.

How have I not blogged for the whole month of July?! It feels like I've been on one long holiday since April this year; from going to Hong Kong for over a month ourselves, to having 2 sets of family staying with us (from Hong Kong) back to back. It has been crazy fun but August is finally the month to get back into the swing of life. Routine is good y'all.

Xu was one of those highly anticipated eateries to have hit London this year and naturally, it was high on my hit list. I'd heard lots of good things about it from friends who went, so I couldn't wait to see what unique creations Bao's creators would come up with.

Bun House | 1960's Hong Kong Tea House Vibes

July 24, 2018

When I walked past Bun House and saw the spot on replicate of a 1960's Hong Kong tea house, it sent tingly goosebumps down my arm. I was instantly hit by a sense of nostalgia and boy, was I excited about this place. By the time I actually came back to try out the food, I'd seen enough on Instagram to know that this was a must on my foodie list.

Yauatcha City's £25 Star Menu

Yauatcha City's £25 Star Menu

September 29, 2015

£25 for a selection of dim sum and a cocktail at high-end restaurant Yauatcha certainly is a value hard to beat, so I decided to check it out with my sister as we both love dim sum.

The newly opened Yauatcha in Liverpool street is very swanky, and full of elegance. It has a more formal vibe to the original branch in Soho which I have been to on 2 occasions, but Yauatcha's modern and sleek stamp is apparent. From the location itself to the half moon shape of the restaurant, this is a lovely venue for special occasions, catching up with girlfriends and perhaps a date.

As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted by a lovely lady at the reception who took our coats to the cloakroom, and then another member of staff took us to our table. Each and every one of the staff were incredibly attentive without being overwhelming throughout the evening. Service like this just makes me dine whilst being completely relaxed.

Yauatcha | Dim Sum in Soho

February 05, 2015

Fine dining dim sum (or posh dimsum...) is not our regular hang out for a Sunday, but on this occasion, my brother insisted on treating us. Well if you must bro! 

Having been before for dinner a la carte and not been overly impressed, I didn't have high expectations for the dim sum. Food aside, overall ambience and service is excellent and I would come back for this alone. Usually service and ambience mean nothing to me if the food is no good. 

We were given 2hrs for our table booking, just about enough time for our table of 4.
