Kym’s – London, UK

Kym’s – London, UK

When we travel, we always find ourselves searching for good Asian food. Whether it’s Japanese in Amsterdam, or Chinese food in London! I’ve had A.WONG on my list for ages and when I heard they had a sister restaurant in the newly opened KYM’S I […]

Padella – Southwark, London

Padella – Southwark, London

I had heard HEAPS about PADELLA, which is located just outside the famour Borough Markets. And then we walked past one day, and I realised that a lot of other people had also heard of PADELLA! We jokingly asked how long the wait would be […]

Jidori – Covent Garden, London

Jidori – Covent Garden, London

I heard about JIDORI in the Monocle travel guide book I think, something about a well-priced yakitori restaurant. And well-priced it was! They serve an omakase menu (kind of like a degustation or tasting menu) for just £30 per person, for the whole table only. […]

Som Saa – Spitalfields, London, UK

How great is it having friends all over the world? SW and his girlfriend A are always super fun to hang out with when we’re in London. This time we decided to check out Spitalfields, which we hadn’t been to much before, and A recommended […]

Shake Shack – Covent Garden, London, UK

Shake Shack – Covent Garden, London, UK

  Sure, dining at Michelin Starred restaurants is a treat, but sometimes you just want a good ol’ burger. Amirite? A few weeks before I went to London, I found out that Shake Shack had opened in Covent Garden. Having heard of this fabled institution from my […]

The Ledbury – Notting Hill, London, UK

The Ledbury – Notting Hill, London, UK

  On a holiday, where you manage to go to a 1 Michelin Star restaurant (which also holds the #7 spot on the 2013 World’s 50 Best Restaurants index) as well as a 2 Michelin Star restaurant – I think it’s fair to say you’ve done pretty […]

Kaffeine – London, UK

Kaffeine – London, UK

      In Sydney, we are used to great cafe culture. In London, with all it’s chain cafes and restaurants, this may seem harder to come by. However, with the help of Twenty Something London, DS and I were able to find Kaffeine – a […]

(CLOSED) Disco Bistro EC4 – London, UK

(CLOSED) Disco Bistro EC4 – London, UK

      Walking to this restaurant from Blackfriars station I couldn’t really figure out what to expect. Every second building I was passing contained a law firm or two, yet this quirkily named restaurant is right amongst it? Disco Bistro made me think of […]
