On a weekend, I felt like Japanese food, especially sashimi, so we chose Kawagishi by the riverside. If I am honest, I would say I am disappointed. On its website, it boasted “Our mission is to capture the healthy, fresh-food feel of traditional Japanese cuisine, and mix it up with a modern, Kawagishi touch.” It […]
I was asked for a recommendation for an accessible restaurant in Chinatown (London). We are now in the month of March where its not warm enough to eat outside yet. I say this because many restaurants in Chinatown had set out tables outside since Covid, making them ‘accessible’ if you’re okay to eat alfresco. It […]
It was a sunny Sunday, I decided to choose a restaurant by the river. It was suggested to me actually. The weblink I was given signaled it was wheelchair accessible and LGBQ+ friendly (?!). We were a party of four from different parts of London so the proximity to Jubilee Line was useful. We were […]
The last time I posted here was in 2014, ten years ago. My friend encouraged me to continue inspite of the gap – the previous restaurant does not even exist now. Reading Jay Rayner’s article in the Guardian where he spoke to Jamie Hale about the impossibility of finding out the accessibility of restaurants also […]
It was on one of those rare occasions when you bump into a friend at the British Library. This is how I found myself being lead to dinner by Carol at the Betjeman Arms at St Pancras (not that I needed much persuading) next to the Renaissance Hotel. She had just had a long leisurely […]
The bit of London I am most familiar with would be Camden, more specifically the area where the three stations of Euston, St Pancras and King’s Cross congregate. These are the three stations where I arrive in and exit from the capital. However, it was nice to have the time to walk around the new […]
It was boxing day and there were not that many businesses open – we ended up at the Brunswick Centre and into the Hare and Tortoise. We ordered Malaysian street stall favourites: Char Kway Teow (Char Kuey Tiew), Laksa and some Chinese leaves to go with them. Given that the Hare and Tortoise is not […]
I went a few weeks ago and totally forgot I meant to write about it! It was a sunny day and I was set on sitting outside for lunch. Peni came with it and we sat out at Priory Place Rixs. They offered grilled meat and we both decided on the lamb. I also chose […]
Our conference is finished – Annie and I were shattered but we needed to eat before catching our separate trains. We started walking and stopped outside the Antalya Restaurant. A waitress gave us a table by the window. We started to relax. We had mint tea. We had some aubergine caviar and a spicey fresh […]
I was at a conference. My colleague had gone back to her hotel, we re both waiting for other colleagues for dinner. I love wandering around London, I have a terrible sense of direction and I get lost all the time. (even with google map on my phone). Anyway I passed a Thai restaurant and […]
