Bamboula Brixton – review

By: | 0 Comments | On: May 17, 2013 | Category : Jamaican, Reviews

As in the case with Dragon Castle, we were willing to relocate ourselves to where the food was, in this case Brixton. We were at the resto around 12:15 and I guess it was early by British standard as we were the first customers there. Because it was so “early”,...

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal – review

dinner-kitchen
Heston Blumenthal is a culinary genius with 3 Michelin stars to his name. I could go on about his culinary achievements but you could just as easily google his name. The concept at Dinner is historical food with a modern twist. For example, our dishes were from the 1500′s to...

Dragon castle London – review

By: | 0 Comments | On: May 16, 2013 | Category : Chinese, Reviews

Is there any reason to travel to Elephant and Castle as a tourist in London? You betcha! It’s Dragon Castle that’s the main draw here. Their dim sum was divine! We wanted to explore new neighborhoods and I had found on Yelp that there’s good dim sum to be had at...

Arirang London – review

Arirang
One of the reasons why we travel so often to London is in search of good Korean food. Our quest may have ended at Arirang, possibly the best Korean food that I’ve ever tasted in London. The location belies the quality of the food – just off Oxford Street and...

AG – review

By: | 0 Comments | On: May 4, 2013 | Category : Modern, Reviews

We were at AG restaurant two Fridays ago and I still drool over my steak everytime I think about the visit. AG is known for their steaks and it’s all true. The meat was wonderful and we were all saying OMG over and over again. The first thing I saw...

Homemade tofu from scratch

I finally was able to score some nigari in Stockholm (available at Good store in Södermalm) so now I make tofu regularly, at least once a week. It’s a cinch to make tofu from scratch if you have a soy milk maker, otherwise it takes longer but it’s still pretty straightforward....

Homemade soy milk

If you’ve never drunk soy milk before, it’s time to try it out I love soy milk and not just because I’m lactose intolerant. I love the beany taste of soy. If you love soy milk as much as I do, you need to invest in a soy milk maker....

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...

The end of negative reviews

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...
