Nestled up high in the rather faded and archaic looking Royal Garden hotel is Min Jiang. A proper old-fashioned yet luxurious Chinese restaurant that boasts stunning views over Hyde Park. Layers of lush greenery… Continue reading
We must have walked past The Andaz Hotel hundreds of times and we didn’t know it was there. Even when we were looking for it the task wasn’t any easier. We passed it… Continue reading
Much to Ade’s dismay I adore blossom, ahhing at every fluffy flourishing tree that we drive past and clipping off a teeny sprig to put by our bed. I jumped at the chance to… Continue reading
Pan Asian/fusion food scares me a little, I usually prefer my meals to be one or the other but Ekachai has been going for over ten years so I guess they must be doing… Continue reading
** THE BIG RED IS NOW A POP-UP CALLED WÜNDERLUST ** Half term = an agonising time trying to find things to keep the kids occupied, when said children are at that awkward… Continue reading
We were looking forward to visiting Ember Yard, really looking forward to visiting. Marina had given it a gushing review in her Guardian column, and a respected friend in the hospitality industry said… Continue reading
Today we made a short journey over to Orpington in Kent in search of a tile clearance centre. Definitely not my preferred way to spend a Saturday, and possibly the dullest start to… Continue reading

When good old M&S asked us to test some healthy eating recipes all under 400 calories per serving we leapt at the chance. We’re both currently gym fiends and try to eat healthily… Continue reading
Ever stumbled out of a museum in South Ken in need of food? We have, although there are usually kids in tow so cocktails and Polish food is not likely to be on… Continue reading
Another week and another excuse to visit Byron, not that we ever need an excuse to try any of Fred Smith‘s creations. Last week it was the launch of The Byronosauraus Rex, this… Continue reading
BOGOF! And no I’m not being rude. Saying buy one get one free is maybe a more polite, if a little long-winded way of putting it. But BOGOFs and discount vouchers are everywhere.… Continue reading
Back in 1993 a couple of monumental events happened. Steven Spielberg released the epic Jurassic Park movie (I’ll never forget that heart thumping T-Rex scene), Burger King launched their tie-in offering, which later… Continue reading

*SADLY, LA GIACONDA HAS NOW CLOSED* La Giaconda Restaurant, Café and Bar sounded great on paper – a long-standing family-run restaurant, the proprieters also own Flat White and Milk Bar. Previously named Giaconda… Continue reading
As we sat in Topolski – a new Eastern European pop up members bar/cafe/art gallery in the railway arches near Waterloo station, I wondered if Eastern European food could be the new ‘thing’.… Continue reading
