East restaurant – review

By: | 0 Comments | On: March 24, 2013 | Category : Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Savories, Thai, Vietnamese

This place is 2 minutes from my place of work but I’ve always avoided it like the plague because I wrongly thought that it serves fusion food and I absolutely HATE fusion! Thank God I was wrong because the food I had here was top-notched pan-Asian! We were here on...

By: | 0 Comments | On: March 13, 2013 | Category : Musings, Reviews

I’ve decided to stop writing negative reviews. I don’t find any joy in it and the fact is that it’s harder to write negative reviews than positive ones. I don’t want to put people out of their businesses unless I’ve been rudely treated, which thankfully has only happened once. (You’ll...

Health freak

Yep, I’m afraid I’m on my way to becoming one of those. No offense meant, but I’ve always had an aversion to being healthy and watching what I eat. I love my beers, especially the strong Belgian beers, and my white wines and champagne and cocktails, and the list goes...

I used to go by this resto everyday last summer and kept wondering how the food was. Finally got a chance to eat here on Tuesday and it WAS a disappointment. There are two entrances, the one on Linnégatan is a smaller place while around the corner is the main...

We had good food here during Restaurant week so we had to come back when I heard of the 50% off the food menu, a great deal. Unfortunately, the portions seemed to have  shrunk alot! The goat’s cheese app that a friend ordered wasn’t as big a portion as the...

Blue chili – review

Blue chili - papaya salad
We just “discovered” Thai food during our trip to London and it’s all we can talk about it. Was looking for a place that has papaya salad and Blue chili seemed to fit the bill. We also had the Taste card which entitles one to get a free main. We...

There are loads of search engines on the Internet and a new one has spawned that’s really interesting. EatbyDate is a search engine for foodies! Yes, it tells you how long food lasts, their shelf life, the best way to store it, etc. Unfortunately, there’s no info on who’s behind...

sadaf-chili
From the street, this resto looked busy with only locals so we couldn’t wait to try it. We had booked a table thru Toptable.com but it was unnecessary even though it was Saturday night at 7:30pm. We arrived at 7:30pm and the waiter I talked to was a bit confused...

baozi inn london
I had searched on Yelp for some szechuan food and stumbled upon this place. Very communistic decor The namesake baozi or steamed bun. We just had to try one and it was humungoid! Twice the size of a normal steamed bun. The filling was pork and it was delicious. Too...

We got a 50% deal from Toptable and couldn’t resist since we seemed to have a Thai period right now. I ordered the Thai iced tea which was very colorful with the sweet condensed milk forming a white cloud in the sea of orangeness. It was good but a bit...
