The greatest joy I get from food blogging is discovering new and exciting food venues cropping up all over London and its suburbs. Since I moved to Croydon, I have been exploring a lot of Boxpark and Balham. So my happiness quotient increased ten-fold when I discovered through my fellow bloggers croydonfoodies that a new,…
Month: September 2017
Tasting Evening at Chakra
I first set my eyes on Chakra whilst having a drink at the pub opposite (The Elephant and Castle). From outside, Chakra looked like a modern, intimate Indian restaurant. The all-white, unadorned interior scheme represented a classy simplicity rather than the vibrant colours one generally associates with Indian restaurants. It also had a neat sheltered…
My insights on Focus/17
September is a busy time, not just for fashion but for designers as well. In the interior design world, we have Focus, 100% Design, Design Junction and London Design Fair all vying for our attention within the space of one week. Focus/17 is one of the foremost interior design events that takes place at the…
Discovering Curveball – Balham
The best part of moving home is that you start discovering new areas for food! Balham has been a trendy place for quite some time but recently it has become one of our favourite hangout places as well! Our first test drive was the newly refurbished Foxlow. You can read about this at my blog…
Crawling through London Rooftop Bars – 2017
Summer is well and truly over. But this week promises to be warm again with temperatures north of 20 degrees (I’ll take what I can get!). So there is still some time to hit the rooftop bars in London before autumn makes itself stubbornly at home! August was miserable in terms of summer weather (except…
The dreamiest brunch place in town – Dalloway Terrace
They say good things come to those who wait. Well, if our brunch at Dalloway Terrace was anything to go by, then it was indeed worth waiting this long to check this place out. Dalloway Terrace is located just a couple of blocks from Tottenham Court Road station, in the heart of Bloomsbury. Indeed, its…
Day out in Lymington, Hampshire
Lymington is a pretty little port town, full of English seaside charm, on the outskirts of the New Forest in Hampshire. This was our second visit; the first one was four years ago when we hiked around New Forest National Park and stayed above a lovely little pub called The Bosun’s Chair. Unfortunately, I was…
Weekend break : Macdonald Elmers Court Hotel and Resort, New Forest
My husband recently whisked me away for a surprise long weekend to Lymington where we stayed at the stylish Macdonald Elmers Court Hotel and Resort. One of several luxury hotels in the Macdonald Hotels group, it is a stunning, high-chimneyed, Tudor-gabled Manor House, which dates back to the 19th century. Over the years, it has…
Sunday Brunch at Bombay Brasserie
Before the explosion of reinterpreted Indian restaurants that we see dotted around London today, there was one fine dining Indian restaurant which was well established and regarded amongst the connoisseurs of Indian food in London: Bombay Brasserie. My London family introduced me to BB pretty much as soon as my plane landed in Heathrow! 12…
