My friend decided to take me to her favourite Mexican restaurant in London: Oscar’s at Whiteley’s. The decór won points immediately by way of being red and black. And then I ate their food! I had one of their burritos and my friend had the quesadillas. Absolutely yummy stuff. I must say though, I very…

Do I really need to say anything else?
A Thyme and Place for everything
Election Week in the UK culminated in what I’d call Hung Thursday on 6th May 2010. That was also the day I discovered this little gem: Thyme Café. Perched in Broomhill, Sheffield, this little place has the most brilliant concept ever! The ambience is very relaxed and they have a huge blackboard at one end…
Feast India, Leicester
When I entered Feast India, the first thing I saw was the salad bar to the left. Not because I loved salad, but because it was inside a rickshaw. Yes, you read that right. A rickshaw. On the right was a seating area full of plush chairs and stools, with cricket memorabilia adorning the walls….
Barista for a day!
I went for the Barista training class offered by my university and thoroughly enjoyed all 2.5 hours. I made an espresso, a latte, a cappuccino and an iced mocha latte. We could drink what we made but I could only manage a handful of sips for each. Even so, that night I was completely wired!…
Chocolate Barfi! Kaju Katri! Gajar Ka Halwa! Plain Barfi! Mmmmmm…!
Right, so I already gave away – in the title – what’s in this box! I bought this box of sweets from Royal, a sweets store on Melton Road, Leicester and they taste AMAZING. I haven’t had any Indian sweets for a while, so this store, and in fact, just going to Leicester was a…
Masala Dosa!!!
Don’t fret if you don’t see a masala dosa in any of these pictures. It’s because we didn’t have any. What me and my friend did do, however, was go into a tiny restaurant called Masala Dosa on Melton Road, Leicester, to have a light lunch (or more like early tea, since we traipsed in at…
Wagamama
Having never been to Wagamama before, I was excited to finally sample their food. We ordered ginger chicken udon (described in their menu as teppan-fried udon noodles with chicken, egg, beansprouts, red and spring onions, mangetout and chilli. garnished with pickled ginger and coriander) and ebi raisukaree (described as prawns stir-fried in a coconut and lime curry sauce with mangetout, peppers,…
Muffins in the morning
What better way to start your day than with a double chocolate muffin and a blueberry muffin? Freshness that just melts in your mouth, these muffins from Caffé Nero were winners! Have a good day!
Betty’s: A York institution
When I told my foodie-friend that I was going to York she gasped and said I absolutely had to go to Betty’s. I, obviously, had no idea what she was talking about and it seemed I had committed sacrilege by my ignorance. Betty’s, she told me, was a fantastic café tea room in York that…
