Gingerline TV Dinners – Review

For someone who enjoys food and experiences equally, attending a Gingerline production is an ultimate bucket list tick. I was lucky enough to attend Gingerline’s latest production – TV Dinners – which is a four course dining experience in a gameshow format. It is held in the multilevel Immersive Ldn (minutes from Bond Street station),…

Pirate Afternoon Tea -DoubleTree Docklands

A few days ago, on a gorgeously sunny yet cold weekend, a bunch of food bloggers headed to the DoubleTree Docklands Riverside Hotel by Hilton to check out their newly launched Bottomless Pirate Afternoon Tea. This is my second collaboration with Hilton and Love Pop Ups London after The Kitchen. Converted from an old warehouse,…

Red Palace at The Vaults London

A few weeks ago, I was at The Vaults attending Red Palace, a uniquely immersive dining and theatre experience, organised via Love Pop Ups London. The Vaults is a series of disused railway arches near London Waterloo Station that have been creatively transformed for immersive theatre, performances and the arts. It is located near the…

Christmas Menu Preview: The Kitchen Hilton

Not to panic, but it is 40 days to Christmas and the last two months of the year! This is prime time for many of us in London to start planning end-of-year catch ups, family meet ups and office dinner parties. For food lovers, this is the time when furious research begins on restaurants that…

P.F.Chang’s Asian Table needs no introduction. They are a global restaurant chain with presence in the US and the Middle East. Nearly everyone I know has visited at least one P.F.Chang’s in their lifetime. Everyone, except me! Which is why I was glad to finally make it to the only UK branch of P.F.Chang’s Asian Table….

Over the last few years, I have dined in all of their London venues (Cinnamon Kitchen Battersea branch, Cinnamon Kitchen City, Cinnamon Club and most recently Cinnamon Bazaar). A few weeks ago, I happily returned to one of my…

Filipino Cuisine – Romulo Restaurant

Continuing with my exploration of global cuisine, I found myself with a bunch of food bloggers one evening at Romulo, a café and restaurant in High Street Kensington. They specialise in Filipino cuisine, something which I have never tried before. I was pleasantly surprised to see the interiors, which were fresh and very contemporary. The…

Cinnamon Bazaar – Restaurant Review

This was my first time visiting Cinnamon Bazaar. Part of the Cinnamon Collection that includes The Cinnamon Club, Cinnamon Kitchen and (now sadly closed) Cinnamon Soho, they are a contemporary group of Indian restaurants under the patronage of renowned chef Vivek Singh, located in the tourist hub of London, Covent Garden. My previous visit to…

An Indian Supper Club by Chef Niku – Yaatra

One of the most exciting things about supper clubs is not knowing what to expect and being prepared to be surprised. It’s even better if it surpasses expectations. With Chef Niku’s Yaatra – an Indian supper club – it was a bit of both. The menu at Chef Niku’s Indian supper club was kept secret…

Sri Lankan Supper Club : Mali’s Cooking

After experiencing a few Indian Supper clubs (Khao, Chakra, Thambis), it was time to venture further south and explore my first Sri Lankan supper club. Despite growing up in India and being so close geographically, Sri Lanka continues to firmly occupy my ‘someday bucket list’. Until then, I am exploring the country through its food….
