- The Salusbury is the obvious hip hang out junction, where the beautiful, the youthful, carefree inhabitants of this rapidly gentrified part of NW6 flaunt their hide. It is hardly ever empty, and undoubtedly the most happening joint in and around Queen’s Park.

Chin Chin is London’s (and Europe) very first nitrogen ice cream parlour. Yes that’s right, instead of freezer-stored ice cream, these guys make theirs by cooling with [...] Read "Chin Chin Laboratorist: Nitro blasted Goodiness." more
- A Grelha at The Gun: More view than food.
- And what a view indeed. Positioned on the edge of the Thames, overlooking the water and the O2 centre in the distance. However, A Grelha is not technically a restaurant in its own right, rather it is a make shift al fresco area of The Gun, which opens during sunny days and warm nights (May [...] Read "A Grelha at The Gun: More view than food." more
- Pacific Plaza: Like a Phoenix of a Foodcourt.
- Food is much more accessible and democratic over on the right side of the Pacific. There is so much diversity, that at times, I find it ironic that the gourmet awakening (of sorts) is taking place in London, where food blogs are as plentiful as fishes, as opposed to the rest of Asia. That might [...] Read "Pacific Plaza: Like a Phoenix of a Foodcourt." more
Mark has an interesting perspective about the world. When he contacted me about doing a guest post about food for Global Patriot, I was a little miffed about how a glutinous little bugger like me can ever be a boon to noble causes. Then he explained how he thought that food was one of the ways that connects us all, and through it – the whole economy of the food industry and how the chain is completely interlinked from the producer/farmer through to the local grocers and ultimately the end consumer. It’s the people, ultimately who opt to for ethical farming methods and organic greens and those of us foodies who champion fresh produce and resist homogenisation (and food over packaging) that we are actually fighting a good fight to keep a healthy, thriving eco system going.
Hope I inspired you a little there, do join the conversation over at Global Patriot.
Why Global Patriot?
I provided a little guest post for one of the coolest new causes around, called Global Patriot. Currently, it is spreading it’s message via a blog – and it’s concept is one which campaigns for ways to care for our entire planet. The issues covered are wide ranging and Mark Lovett is spearheading this effort to tackle them. Some issues include (but aren’t limited to) eliminating hunger and poverty, supporting equal rights as well as climate change and sustainability.
Of course, there are also many hundreds and thousands of organisations out there passionately working hard to solve some of our worlds biggest headaches and one of GP’s aims is also to create awareness for the good work that’s being done and hopefully inspire people to join the conversation to be a patriot, for the world we live in.
