I should probably warn you guys that this post is going to feature a whole bunch of meat, but you can’t eat any of it. In fact, try and they might eat you, or at least that’s what I was told. With that knowledge tucked away in my little brain, I remained incredibly well behaved, … Read More →
organic porridge with brown sugar, banana & honey When Panu’s out of town, I get up to a whole bunch of no good. Like, I bake a batch of brownies and eat half of them myself. I watch The Hills on repeat, UP LOUD, and just to be really naughty, I even sleep on his … Read More →
black prawn ravioli, prawn mousseline & champagne-chervil cream It’s only two more sleeps until I’m back on the plane, hurtling my way back to London. My two weeks in J’burg feels like it’s flown by, but at the same time, I feel like I’ve been here for eons and I want to go home so … Read More →
It’s official. Well, it’s been official for about six months now but due to things like work and our lease and all kinds of grown up things, I haven’t been able to talk about it. But now I can! In just over six weeks, Panu and I are officially packing up and moving back home … Read More →
Saturday night and I’m flying el solo. I kind of like this once in a while, to take my own time and wander along Southbank and you know, eat like five courses of modern Singaporean food on my own. Thank goodness they were itsy bitsy courses, a part of Singapore Tourism’s new campaign to introduce … Read More →
There are good reasons why I’d never gone to Polpetto. For one, I never want to eat dinner flat on 6pm.

Dinner is served at … Read More →
It is currently all of 8pm and my eyes are so tired they sting. But look at me, all superhero and stuff, doing this blog post because for the next three days, I will be stuck on a game reserve in the middle of nowhere with NO WIFI and NO CELL RECEPTION and if I … Read More →
The first thing you notice about the new Giraffe Bar & Grill in Soho is that there ain’t no space to park your buggy. Unlike the rest of its Giraffe clan – whose main mission I think is to either induce a violent fit of cluckiness or well, nausea – this Giraffe is aimed at those … Read More →
The first time I went to Flat Planet, all I had was a tea. But the fabulous ladies behind the counter were making these deliciously topped flatbreads and offered us some sample slices. I had one taste and fell madly deeply in love. The concept is unassumingly simple – they make their dough using organic English … Read More →
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal was always on my bucket list of places to go before we left London. But – and I don’t know how this happened – there was a momentary lapse in my super-crazy-organised-ness and somehow I never got around to making a reservation. Enter Su-yin, who aside from feeding me a whole lot, … Read More →
Ok seriously, waddup with this weather? Firstly we had schizophrenic Friday, which was thundery then sunny then rainy. And then Saturday which was… ok Saturday was nice. But then yesterday! Cold, rainy, windy, 14 degrees… total hibernation weather… in June? I don’t know what the hell is going on. But I do know that a … Read More →
