Umami, Kensington

Umami is a Pan-Asian restaurant in the heart of Kensington, connected to the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Based on the location and their website online (www.umamilondon.com), Umami looked like a really top-notch place to visit, so my expectations were extremely high. We dined in a private room called the ‘Garden Room’ which can hold parties of up […]

Bar Elba

Bar Elba is a rooftop bar located in the heart of Waterloo, just a 2 minute walk away from Waterloo underground station. Disclaimer: If you want to visit this bar, you must be 21 and over. My friend and I arrived there, unaware of the age limit (since they decided not to mention it on […]

Dray Martina

Dray Martina is a Mediterranean style restaurant located in the Alonso Martinez area on Calle Argensola, 7, 28004, Madrid. I visited Dray Martina with a party of up to 20 people and so you could expect that waiting times for food would be crazy long! And long it was indeed. The menu had a range of […]

Birthday Celebrations & Pink Monkey

To celebrate my 21st Birthday, a few of my friends came to Madrid to visit me which was so amazing! We only had two whole days to actually work with, so we visited Retiro Park, which had a lake for paddle boating, a glass palace, museum and a sculpture of the “The Fallen Angel” (which […]

Cheat Day: La H es muda

Another weekend, another cheat day woohoo! The second week of this meat reduction diet was really getting me in my feels- craving chicken nuggets and all sorts. Nothing but my willpower led me on to complete another weekday of veggies only. I must admit, I have been eating fish here and there in the canteen […]

Rosa Negra

Rosa Negra (black rose in English) is a Mexican restaurant in central Madrid and it is the shit. I have to say by far, Rosa Negra is my favourite place to be. We first became acquainted at my bud’s dinner party and our relationship has flourished ever since. In a space of two months, I’ve eaten […]

Maricastaña: C/ Corredera, Madrid

Roaming the streets of Madrid with one thing in mind. Food. The only problem is that due to the awkward timings here, at around 5pm the majority of restaurants close and reopen later in the evening. This is not good when you haven’t eaten since breakfast, and your stomach is verbally threatening your life if […]

Beer & Buns: Appold Street

Beer & Buns is a Japanese Izakaya Bar- which is similar to that of a pub, but has amazing Japanese style food! As you can imagine from the name, Beer & Buns specialize in a range of Japanese beers, as well as soft steamed buns filled with tremendous meats and veggies to set your heart […]

Original Patty Men: Digbeth

The second year of university is finally over and summer has arrived (plus a bout of hay fever- but I’ll be okay). This review is based on Original Patty Men (OPM)- a cool, niche burger joint in the heart of Digbeth, Birmingham. Last year, I dreamt of a burger that had a doughnut of some […]

Jamie’s Italian: Bullring Shopping Centre

My previous post was all about my lovely little restaurant journal that I received as a gift! A few weeks ago, I went on a rather spontaneous girl’s night out for dinner to Jamie’s Italian at Bullring Shopping Centre. I have been to Jamie’s Italian once before a couple of years ago for my work […]
