Roti Chai - London

After somehow staying dry during a short trip out in London, we decided to finally give Roti Chai a try. We were unsure about spending money since we already have an awesome Indian Dhaba near us, but the menu (and our stomachs) drew us in.

Vietnamese Cooking course

I can't think of many better ways of Spending a rainy Saturday afternoon than preparing, cooking and eating a Vietnamese feast. This was an afternoon to remember!

Red Velvet Cupcakes

A couple of days ago I was on the phone to my sister and I told her that I was busy baking cupcakes. She told me about a program on the food network called DC cupcakes. The recipes from Georgetown Cupcake looked so delicious that for my second batch of cupcakes this week, I decided to try their red velvet cupcakes. 

Viajante Bar - Bethnal Green

After a trip to Corner Room, we decided to have a little sit down and cocktail before walking to Shoreditch.

M decided on a Rosey Posey - of course - light and fruity, tasting of the rose petals included and served in a pretty glass. A decided that asking for a Pina Colada would get him removed from the bar, so asked the Bartender what he recommended. He brought him a version of an Espressotini, called 'Darkness', all kinds of coffee flavored liquors and chocolate bitters. Possible the best drink he had tasted.

Pitt Cue Co.

Over the past two weeks we have spent a lot of time looking at different restaurant reviews and lots of other London based food blogs and the one place that seems to come up time and time again is Pitt Cue Co. We decided to make the most of our holiday and head over to Pitt Cue for lunch. 

Hawksmoor

After eating at Hawksmoor Spitalfields last month, we decided one rainy day in Covent Garden to try out the Seven Dials bar for an early dinner. We knew what we wanted, A wanted the Unami Burger, which was currently the 'Third Burger' on their menu and M was going for either the Lobster Roll or the plain Hawksmoor Burger. The decision was made for her as they had no rolls for the Lobster - Burger it was.

Wonders of London: Monkey Shoulder Chocolate Trail

Our Monkey Shoulder tour started at Selfridges. We discovered that they were doing free Whiskey tasting so we tried some. The shot of Whiskey was accompanied by a Niko B chocolate which was stunning. We then sampled a Whiskey cocktail and was told to make our way to Broadwick Street near Carnaby Street for the Easter Egg Trail.

Cocktails at The Bar With No Name

We are very fortunate to live extremely close to the outstanding cocktail bar in Colebrooke Row but sadly we do not take advantage of this enough. To celebrate the start of our Easter hols we decided to go for a drink at The Bar With No Name and yet again enjoyed a fantastic selection of cocktails.

El Cantara - Westfield Stratford

After an exhaustive morning shopping at Westfield Stratford, made worse by the fact we couldn't go home just yet as we would have to pay an exorbitant amount in resident permit charges, we decided to have lunch at the shopping center. We had a good look around the Great Eastern food market and were drawn in by the tempting Chorizo sandwich on El Cantara's menu.

Salt Beef at Beigel Bake

Finally it is the Easter Holidays and a chance to eat in some of the many places that have popped up on our radar. Today was a beautiful cold sunny day so we decided to walk to Colombia Flower Market and then headed off to Beigel Bake to sample their famous Salt Beef beigels.
