Sushi Tetsu | Mind Blowing Sushi in Clerkenwell

July 31, 2014

Tetsu. There is so much to say about this little gem in Farringdon. The sushi is just mind blowing, and possibly the best I've ever eaten. The quality of fish is outstanding & the ambiance of this tiny 7-seater restaurant transported us right back to Japan.

Du Pain | Paris

Du Pain | Paris

July 16, 2014

On a previous trip to Paris, we wanted to go to Du Pain after reading about their green tea croissants and pistachio & chocolate swirls.

One of the oldest patisseries in Paris, how could we not? But we didn't read up on opening times and arrived only to find out it didn't open at the weekends. And we were in Paris for the weekend. Bummer. With a heavy heart, we left but I vowed I'd come back in the future and this time in Paris I did just that.

Seafood platters really do remind me of being on holiday and being away from the every day hustle and bustle. Hunting one down for one our meals was top of my list on things to do for Paris.

I had my birthday celebration at Roka in Canary Wharf this year, as a few of us were keen to try out their weekend brunch buffet. I'd been once before and the buffet spread was impressive so I had no problem going back again.

Café Constant | Paris

Café Constant | Paris

July 01, 2014

 

June has turned out to be a busy month with an unexpected trip to Paris, and various birthday do's including my own.

Paris! The most romantic city in the world? This is my 4th trip, my first 2 trips were with school and I didn't understand the world's fascination with it. It was dirty, people were rude and drivers in Paris were crazy, and I was sure I would never go again. But my good friend Burger Law persuaded me to go again in 2012, and returning to Paris as an adult this time round, it was a completely different story. Not only did I find Paris pretty and romantic, but the food was worth coming back for alone!

Old Tree Daiwan Bee | Taiwanese in London

Old Tree Daiwan Bee | Taiwanese in London

June 14, 2014

This Taiwanese Cafe is a recent discovery and whilst I haven't been to Taiwan before, I have a feeling that the food here is pretty authentic. The customers are all Chinese on both occasions that we've been here. Old tree daiwan bee is located just on the outsides of main Chinatown so it's easy to miss.

FCB Coffee | Best Coffee in London?

June 11, 2014

I never used to be much of a coffee drinker, and on the odd occasions that I did in the past, it would be milky, full of sugar and usually in the form of Nescafe instant coffee (gold blend) or a frappuccino from Starbucks.

Macarons [2013]

June 05, 2014

 

2013 was an extremely busy year and I didn't have much time to make macarons. However, I did manage to get a brilliant photo shoot of my rainbow macarons by our good friend DW (check out his site that my husband designed) which I am super proud of.
