Farewell 2014

December 31, 2014

This year has been an intense year. There were some really great moments and some not so good. I am glad 2014 is almost over, and the new year is upon us.

New years eve is a time I enjoy reflecting on; for all that's happened in the past year, thing's I've achieved, places visited, and most importantly, all the good times spent with loved ones. 

Happy New Year everyone and enjoy all your celebrations! I'm celebrating mine with a new blog design and pizza evening at home =) 

Here are some of my favourite 2014 moments:

The first home to call our own.

Hello December | Hong Kong Fun

December 22, 2014

Hey guys, it's been a bit quiet around here recently but I'm now back and ready to blog!

If you follow me on Instagram and Twitter, you'll know I've been in Hong Kong for 2 wonderful weeks. I had intended on blogging, but ended up having far too much fun and I have to admit, it felt really nice to be (mostly) internet and social-network free and indulge in a 'real' holiday.

I have plenty of food adventures and shopping hauls to share with you soon. In the meantime, here's a few snaps from my holiday.

Knot | Wonderful Artisan Coffee in Clapham

December 03, 2014


One of my favourite working morning indulgence is a coffee and pretzel from Knot. 

The coffee is always great here and well suited to my palette. Deeply aromatic, smooth to drink with a nice 'length', not over roasted (resulting in a bitter aftertaste) or any hints of sourness. The flat white is particularly good with the silkiest milk I've ever tasted.

Biscuiteers | Launch Party in Northcote Road

December 01, 2014


Is it really the 1st of December? Well, it does finally feel like Christmas! 

Actually, it started to feel very Christmas-sy from mid last week after attending Biscuiteers* launch party at their newly opened boutique in Northcote Road. Everything in store was so festive and cheery, from the cute Christmas biscuits to the gingerbread house on display. The ambience of the boutique was wonderful too, it felt homey and very chic at the same time.

The Ultimate Last Meal | What Would Yours Be?

November 25, 2014

What would be the ultimate last meal you'd eat if you were on the Death Row? 

This was the lunchtime discussion started by the food loving R at the office (he's my kinda human!) who'd just finished a meagre soup and was obviously not satisfied, haha. 

Death row aside (what a horrible thought!) what would be the last meal I'd ever choose to eat?!

Lanzhou Noodle Bar | Sensational Hand Pulled Noodles in Leicester Square

November 21, 2014


This unassuming noodle bar blew my mind. 

Specialising in hand pulled noodles aka la mian, the menu offers different types of soup bases and meat/seafood/veg in your preferred noodle size. Very thin, thin, regular, thick, ribbon and knife cut chunks.

Amazing Fluffy Donuts | Bread Ahead, Borough Market

November 19, 2014


Along with the famous St John's bakery in London Bridge, Bread Ahead makes the most delightful donut I've ever had.

Up until now, I'd obviously not eaten a proper donut. Krispy Kreme is hugely popular in London and around UK, but unless you have a very sweet tooth, they can be sickenly sweet.

Lulu Macarons | Flavour Menu

November 18, 2014


I've posted photos of all the macaron creations I've made since 2011 [2011, 2012, 2013, 2014] and I thought it would be a good idea to round up all the flavours I make in one post.

CHICKENliquor | Brixton Market

November 17, 2014


This is one of the most awesome chicken burgers I've ever had. When there's a choice of a chicken burger or a beef burger, it's usually the latter, but this buffalo burger was just so lip-smacking good I'd order it again in a heartbeat.

Tender and juicy deep fried chicken smothered in red hot buffalo sauce with a blue cheese sauce to neutralise the tang and add another depth of flavour. Now, if you are the type of person to drown your chips in vinegar, this is the burger for you. The sharp vinegar tang is the characteristic of the red hot sauce/buffalo sauce, and what makes this burger so good.

Nagomi | Japanese in Oxford Street

November 14, 2014

 
Searching for a cute Japanese restaurant in London that won't break the bank, but is intimate and elegant enough for special occasions? Look no further than Nagomi.

I found Nagomi during the ramen craze that hit London around 2 yrs ago, a few online reviews had suggested the ramen here was authentic and worthwhile. We booked a table for my husband's birthday, gorged on an excessive amount of food and rolled out with happy bellies and £43 (each) less in our wallets.

Not bad at all when you consider the location and the quality of food. It has the cozy ambience of a small traditional Japanese restaurant and all the staff were friendly and efficient.

Treats from Japan | Tokyo Banana and Japanese KitKat

November 05, 2014


[Famous Tokyo Banana cakes]

Japan, the land of snacks. If you've ever been to Japan or visited the Japanese/Asian supermarkets, you will know just how vast Japanese snacks are. 

One of my best friends came back from a trip to Tokyo, Nagoya and Kyoto in August (late post I know!) and bought me back some real goodies. She also stopped by Hong Kong and picked up a new drink for me, Vita HK Style Milk Tea.
