The Frog Yoghurt (really)

Simple really: choose the flavour of yoghurt you want (I went for chocolate!), then pick your toppings (chocolate brownie and strawberries) and ENJOY! This one is in Bayswater, right across the tube station exit.

My new favourite place – Drink Shop Do

I discovered a café after my own heart – Drink, Shop & Do. A café/bar/design shop that has vintage items and quirky kitsch, it stole my heart a few seconds after I stepped in.

The making of paan

I’ve never had paan, neither do I have the urge to do so. However, like a true food tourist, I snapped away the making of paan when my father and fui (father’s sister) decided to have some.
