Borough Market Part 2

By | Cheese, Foodie, Travel | One Comment

I just had to go back to the Borough Market for this!!!

Previous entry:  Toasted Cheese Sandwich October 7, 2013

I noticed many go for the raclette but raclette you can have that easily by just buying the cheese etc.  But this one is not easy to replicate! So I choose this!

Then I finally tried this! The famous Chorizo roll at Brindisa

And for dessert, this!!! SUPER LOVE! Organic Greek Style Frozen Yoghurt! Thicker, creamier and a bit tarty but sweet 🙂 YUM!

Aga At Divertimenti

By | Foodie, Shopping, Travel | No Comments

Another home store but this time more accessories and gadgets.  Still in Marylebone High Street

In this store, Ria took me to the Aga section.  No not Aga Muhlach 🙂  But Aga the ovens.   According to Suharto this is the best oven in the world! 🙂 Let’s not forget that Suharto lives in London and lives, thinks and act like a British! 🙂

Patisseries in London

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

There’s window shopping and there’s window eating!:-)  My friend Leah and I invented that term.  It’s impossible to eat everything you see and  maybe it’s not as fun to window eat than to actually eat but in the long run, it could do much more for you 🙂  Anyway Window anything is so much fun!  I do a lot of it.  

While walking, Ria and I saw this Patisserie which called my attention immediately because it was PINK! 🙂  It’s from France and is new around the block.  La Patisserie Des Reves   

I love the display!!!

Ria was eyeing the Saint Honore 🙂

I saw a lot of this around London!  Though it sounds French it actually originated in London by a French lady 🙂  They are known for their custom cakes

Pret a Portea at The Caramel Room Berkeley Hotel London

By | Accomodations, Foodie, Travel | No Comments

 In the Berkely hotel there is also the Caramel Room where they are known for their high tea and this is where we dined that afternoon

 This is the best high tea Heart2heart has ever had in her life!

 Aside from the usual high tea tradition of tea and scones, there was a theme to this

 A Fashionistas Afternoon Tea!!!

I had the most unique tea I have ever tasted – Well Being Fruit Infusion:  Funky Fruits, Posh pomelo and Melon.  They served the cup with the fruits and then poured the hot water on it – it was a sweet tea which I really enjoyed 🙂

Everything on the tray had an inspiration.  And they just did not look pretty but they tasted good too

We ordered scones on the side as an addition and it was so good!

I saw the other ladies taking out some of their leftovers so I made sure I took some home too so I could have the cute bag box 🙂

Toured us to the Blue Bar designed by David Collins.  This exclusive London bar is famed for its imaginative cocktails and extensive list of vintage champagne

Best Mangal II London

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

One of our best meals in London!  There are three branches – two on this road and another on Fullhan road.  I highly recommend this place.  You must have Tutkish, Lebanese, Persian when in London!
