Again and again Miss Y gave us another extraordinary experience! This time – Okonomiyaki! Plentiful and colourful ingredients all went so well with the unique mix, fried up to the perfect golden brown on the teppan – best for a freezing winter night like this. It’s like those fake food display outside Japanese restaurants [...]

Client lunch hence no camera… again. But quite like to have a word on Restaurant Sauterelle at Royal Exchange. In short – it was GOOD! Everyone is bored with the few obvious choices in the City (near Bank) – 1 Lombard Street, The Don, Coq d’Argent, Bonds… where else can we go if we don’t [...]

Only after adding this new category “M-Starred” I realise I’ve never posted this one – Le Gavroche on Mr W’s birthday! The first and the last thing we did was comparing Le Gavroche with the Waterside Inn. And they are so different. From the mood to setting, the service to the food… the one in [...]

Another bright afternoon. Miss C, just like the other week, turned up fresh after her Saturday gym ritual. Mr W appeared almost 45min late. Yeah ok, it was the traffic, he said Anyway, lunch at The Ledbury was not bad, but I won’t say it’s extraordinary. I have to admit though, it was the special [...]

Always wanted to go to the Waterside Inn – the chance finally came in July 2007. Of course we went for Le Menu Exceptionnel and it was sensational. It’s been raining for months but the sun did pity us that evening Even the canepes looked just wonderful under the sunlight. To start with: – Flaked [...]

Wanted to go Quaglino’s with Miss L but it’s fully booked so we went to LPDJ at Covent Garden. It’s been there forever but for some reasons it’s just not a place you would think of going… Anyway it was an OK meal, not exceptionally but not that bad (as many many reviews had said). [...]

No more teppanyaki or sukiyaki but equally yummy – this time Miss Y gave us French. Camembert with bread followed by ratatouille – that’s right, that colourful and appetising mixed veggie dish. The savoury bread with ham & olives was also pretty interesting. Super tender chicken in white wine sauce was almost heartwarming and strawberries, [...]
