Pan Chai: upmarket Pan Asian cuisine at Harrods food halls
Nestled in the food halls of the world renowned Harrods store in Knightsbridge, Pan Chai is the brainchild of restaurateur Eddie Lim – owner of the Mango Tree group which includes their eponymous flagship Thai restaurant in Belgravia. Launched in April of this year, the cuisine at Pan Chai is largely Japanese inspired with classics like sashimi and tempura […]
Bonda Cafe: an authentic, no-frills Malaysian caff that’s a home away from home
September 29, 2012
One of the age-old questions I tend to get asked most is ‘Where can I find the best Malaysian food in London‘? Well, Malaysia Kopitiam in China Town is still alright despite somewhat selling out and branching out into Thai food recently. Sedap on Old Street is a decent bet but the portions seem to have gotten a little small […]
The Ampersand Hotel: Terrific High Tea in the lushest of settings
September 22, 2012
With plenty of places in London serving up High Tea, one of the things that really makes or breaks the experience for me (apart from the scones of course) is the setting. And if there’s a place that screams ultra-chic, contemporary elegance like no other, it’s South Kensington’s newest Boutique hotel – The Ampersand. Barely […]
Koffmann’s: Exquisite yet comforting Gascon style food by the old master
August 7, 2012
As far as living legends in the culinary world go, Pierre Koffmann is one of those iconic chefs who has certainly left his mark in Britain. The man already had 3 Michelin-stars under his belt at the legendary La Tante Claire before I was even born. From there, he’s gone on from strength to strength, […]
Hereford Road: Hearty, no-nonsense British grub at its very best
December 23, 2011
Every time I’m back in Bayswater, I still get that warm and fuzzy sense of nostalgia of my Imperial College days having spent a couple years as a W2-er back in my uni days. If there’s one thing I miss most about the area, it’s the large cluster of neighbourhood restaurants in and around the […]
Chez Bruce
December 19, 2010
I get the feeling that Londoners are divided into those who have been to Chez Bruce (and absolutely love it), and those who haven’t been to Chez Bruce. Of all the people I know who have been to this Wandsworth institution before, not a single person has had a bad thing to say about it. And […]
Harwood Arms.
November 22, 2010
The words “Michelin-star” and “pub” don’t often get mentioned in the same breath together anywhere in the country, yet alone in London. But it’s official: The Harwood Arms is London’s first ever gastropub to make the cut. And with starters at £6-£7, and mains no more than £17, it’s probably the cheapest Michelin-starred food you […]
