New beginnings with cake
I’d like to start my posts in 2011 with one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever had. Ever. This is an original cheesecake with macadamia nuts and caramel sauce, which I had from Drink, Shop & Do. Generally, I don’t like caramel sauce, but I was prepared to give it a go this time. As…
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. I ordered a chocolate brownie and a hot chocolate (yup, chocolate overdose!) and my friends ordered a lemon drizzle, a chocolate…

What’s the best thing to have with chocolate cake? Whipped cream!
Apologies for all the whipped cream posts I’ve been making lately. But as you can see, it’s all for a good cause: satisfying my gastronomic desires and making you wish you were with me…and my French flatmate, without whom I doubt I’d be able to do anything of the sort you can see in these…
The Cake Extravaganza
Do I really need to say anything else?
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,…
