To Lille and back.
I was very recently part of a foodblogger daytrip to Lille, fully sponsored and put together by Eurostar’s PR bods to help promote their current ‘little break, big difference campaign’….. yup, it was fun, lots of pictures inside.

Nude Espresso: We are the Trio [review]
Nude Espresso is one of a few places which are at the fore front of the rising coffee culture in London. After a bellyful of Croydon chicken rice; Supercharz, Mark and myself headed toward Brick Lane for the Rankin exhibit, but not before we woke…
Goodman: Russian owned, American Beef. [review]
I like steakhouses. They are great for mea(e)ting up with mates being a halfway house between a restaurant and a pub – plus food is uncomplicated too. My mate is getting married soon (Matt I’m so proud of you geezer, sob.) and we thought it…
Uncle Lim’s Chicken Rice: Just, right. [review]
You know how sometimes you crave simple things but you don’t know where to find a really good version of it? Well, I’ve been craving chicken rice for months now, and most recently, it has taken me all the way to Croydon to find possibly,…

Koba: Korean Magic [review]
There are a few candidates for the best Korean restaurant in London, but I haven’t tried enough to really decide which it really is. A visit to my former favourite Myung Ga had been dissapointing, and so the search was on to rediscover Korean magic,…

Life in boxes of Belgian Chocolates
The spoils from my recent travels continue to pile on, and this time I have returned from Brugge looking much rounder and feeling much richer – chocolately speaking. I hope you chocolate lovers out there will enjoy this post.
Banger Bros: Last night a DJ saved my sausages.
Man has walked the moon, some have conquered the highest peaks and few have even achieved the impossible dream. These are the tales of those who dared to go, where no one has gone before to bring to the London republic, exceptional bangers.

Tom Ilic, far far away.. [invite to review]
There are two Toms in London who appeal to me. Both are men of food and both have legends written about their conquests in the kitchen. “Why yes of course I would like to sample an all expense paid meal at Tom Ilic” when their…
Nasi Lemak at Rasa Sayang
The class falls silent; my eyes turn toward the fluttering curtains, Miss V’s constant chalking against the green board is fast becoming hypnotic and my eyes can barely stay open. The tummy, now rumbling like a motorcycle is in dire need of some refuelling. Is…
