Candy Cafe
I find that few places in Chinatown do decent Asian desserts which is ironic because its exactly after the usual hyper-tasty, MSG-packed Chinese meal where one tends to need and crave dessert more than ever. This little first-floor cafe hidden just off the main stretch on Macclesfield Street though is seeking to stir-up an oriental […]
Poppies of Spitalfields
May 14, 2011
Craving a good ol’ British Fish & Chips, we headed up to our new local Chippy on Hanbury Street which opened earlier this year. Word has it that Poppies is run by owner ‘Pop’ who has been frying up fish in the East End since 1945. And everything about the venture feels straight out from […]
Towpath @ Regent’s Canal, Haggerston
April 9, 2011
What a bee-ee-Ay-utiful day it was in London today. 20°C…sunny, clear blue skies… not a spot of cloud… and we’re still not even halfway through April yet. Seems the British summer has showed up rather early this year. So off the beaten track to Haggerston I went with J and D in search of somewhere […]
Chilli Pan Mee @ Super Kitchen
March 19, 2011
I’m told by my sister and her boyfriend C that this is the latest must-have street food craze to seize KL… a fiery bowl of Chilli Pan Mee. And one of the places to sample the hottest dish in town is at Super Kitchen. With upwards of 6 branches across Kuala Lumpur and beyond, they’ve certainly laid their […]
Gourmet San.
November 28, 2010
Great Chinese food is often hard to come by in the East end. The only semi-reliable place I’ve frequented since relocating from the masses of choices in my old Bayswater neighbourhood is My Old Place (‘Lau Ti Fang’) on Middlesex Street. Their Northern Chinese food, though a bit hit-and-miss, is seriously tasty… Chillies, Vinegar and […]

175A Edgware Road, London W2 1ET | melur.co.uk | ingested 6th July 2010 I was a bit surprised when I found out that Mawar, one London’s more popular Malaysian eateries was closing down after more than 30 years in its Edgware Road home. I have many a fond memory of Mawar from my uni days, often the […]
Leong’s Legends.
April 6, 2010
4 Macclesfield Street, Chinatown W1D | Brunched Sat Apr 2nd ’10 Chinatown has seen a revival over the past couple of years, with a flourish of new eateries that do more than just archetypal Dim-Sum and Cantonese-style Roast Duck. There’s Baozi Inn which has brought in good Sichuanese… Rasa Sayang that has brought in authentic Malaysian […]

Chapter 1: Pilpel. 36, Brushfield Street, Spitalfields | www.pilpel.co.uk | ingested Sunday Oct 18th ’09 It was 2pm already and we were still Sunday brunch-less. Although the original plan for that afternoon was to head west to Comptoir Libanais to quell a craving for good Lebanese and then hit the shops on Oxford Street, the […]
La Creperie de Hampstead
September 22, 2009
77, Hampstead High St | http://www.hampsteadcreperie.com | ingested Sept 20th 2009 You’re probably thinking “why the long queue?” (…even the little JackRussell seems to be patiently waiting in line for his turn). However, Londoners from all walks of life, young and old, man and dog, have been queuing happily outside this tiny white hut off […]
