Mauritian Supper Club

Food coma alert! Last night I attended the supper club hosted by Yummy Choo – a delicious Mauritian feast cooked up by Selina and her mother. Starters – aubergine gateau bringele (these were amazing), onion pakoras, gateaux piment, coriander satini chutney, and mango salad. Mains – poulet cari curried chicken, prawn rougaille (my favourite), apple […]

Hotties with Headphones

My friends co-founded a wonderful charity called Serendib, and are hosting a silent disco this summer. What better way to advertise an event like this, than to find strangers to pose with headphones? So that was the mission. I’d say Day 1 went pretty well!

Maltby Street

It is shameful how I’ve lived in London for 7 years without visiting Maltby Street market until now. As much as I like Borough Market, it’s just so busy all the time. By comparison Maltby is laid-back and quirkier. I love the deep tunnels… and it sure looks pretty with the patriotic flags out for […]

Doughnuts and Pancakes

Believe it or not, last week was National Doughnut Week. What better way to celebrate than with dreamy custard doughnuts from St John’s Bakery? So I met the Doughnut Gang (ha) on Saturday morning at Maltby Street market for breakfast. Oh-ho-ho, there the beauties are… The early risers of the foodie lot, Jason and Selina: And […]

Seventeen Notting Hill

As a Sichuan girl, I intended to judge the food harshly against the ultimate – my parents’ cooking – and I came away feeling reasonably satisfied. When asked if I wanted white or red wine, I struggled for a moment. Then I realised that I never order wine […]

Geek Out

Well done, Siebe, you chose the wettest weekend in the wettest April since 1910 to visit London! As we walked through the rainy streets of Brick Lane, an unexpected ray of sunshine came along in the form of Tom. What a damn small world we live in. Tom was only in the city for one day, and Siebe was […]

London Coffee Festival

Yesterday I went to the London Coffee Festival in the Old Truman Brewery. Wow. There was so much to see, learn and taste… it was a little overwhelming! Too bad the lighting was awful for photos, but I did the best I could. Look, it’s Siebe!

Dishoom

Oh Dishoom, what a treat you are! I’m not particularly good with words, so I’ll let my photos do the talking…
