Westfield Mall London

By Heart2Heart | Shopping, Travel | No Comments

Westfield Mall is all over the world! We can’t seem to stay away from it 🙂 So far they have many in the US, they have in New Zealand, Australia and in the UK.

The British will always have their own! 🙂

Love this! In the aisle of the mall there are these pretty massage angels 🙂

Zara Home!! ALL WHITE!

M&S cafe in M&S!! Please open in Manila! 🙂

Cute food stall selling pancake balls with toppings!

Cute chairs by the ice cream bar

Apparently in the UK Frozen yogurt is not a fad! The British love frozen yogurt!! Maybe I am British? haha!!

I like the fact that in this mall, they have a separate section for all the high end brands. They call it the village. It’s important that in a mall, there is zoning rather than a hodge podge of everything.

Champagne bar in the middle

Beautiful 🙂 I would think it won’t be as busy, but the ground floor is quite busy since it leads to the outside of the mall where there are restaurants

And to Waitrose!!! I love M& S and Waitrose!!!

Herbs so well packaged and displayed

By Heart2Heart | Arts and Culture, For kids, Travel | No Comments

There are almost 300 museum in London! Many of them are FREE! 🙂 So there is no excuse not to visit them 🙂

And they are beautiful. One of them is the Science Museum. A Museum for the whole family!

Our tour guide Vice Governor of Isabela Tonypet Albano 🙂

That’s him with the pink jacket guiding 8 kids and 3 adults 🙂

I love this escalator – it reminds me of space mountain in Disneyland 🙂

Go inside here and see how the earthquake felt in Kobe 🙂 I took a video 🙂 It’s still different from the actual but take a look 🙂

I like taking photos of lighting fixtures. It’s fun 🙂 In almost any place I go, I take a photo of the chandelier or lighting fixture

I did not anymore know what to focus on! 🙂 So, here’s a few lighting fixtures that I was able to photograph

Chinese Food in Queensway

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

It’s always more practical to go Chinese when you are in a big group!! And it’s always a must anywhere in the world we go – we still have to have Chinese food 🙂 And in London, Filipino intelligence tells me that Any Chinese restaurant in Queensway in the Bayswater area is good! Mandarin Kitchen, Four Seasons, New Fortune Cookie, Kamtong etc etc. We ate in Royal China 🙂 I have no interior photos because I am not so happy with the ambience but the food is yummy!! 🙂 I know some people who come here and just stay and eat all day! 🙂

My favourites as usual are the fried stuff 🙂 Shredded Chili beef – a bit different from the others I have tried in other Chinese restaurants and I like the presentation 🙂

Fried Dover Fish Fillet with spicy salt – YUM! 🙂 Love the presentation too

In the Cotswolds, you can go fishing 🙂 at the Bibury Trout Farm

Previous entry: Bibury Trout Farm at the Cotswolds July 10, 2014

Whether you will fish or not, as long as you enter, you have to pay 🙂 We passed through the back which leads to the trout farm

As soon as we entered, it started to rain 🙁 But we were able to catch one fish 🙂

Whatever you catch you have to pay for and bring back with you

The Cotswolds

The Cotswolds is around an hour and a half away from London. It’s not so far because the drive towards there is beautiful

Old homes that were turned into hotels

Ancient limestone houses – The Cotswolds is one of the most quintessentially English and unspoiled regions of England. Awarded consecutively for the most beautiful village in Europe
