06/07/25 | Comfort in a Click: My Toby Carvery Takeaway Experience| Ok, so I’m no stranger to a takeaway. That said, these days I’m watching my calorie intake and paying closer attention to my salt-to-potassium ratio. Last week, on my off day - what most would call a 'cheat day' - I was in the mood for some good ol’-fashioned British comfort. And it just so happened to be a Sunday. Doing what I do best, I hopped onto Deliveroo and spotted a Toby Carvery in my area. I’ve always passed by Toby Carverys while out and about and thought, “this place looks very homely”. Already craving a Sunday Roast, I was eager to try Toby Carvery. Curious to see if it lived up to the cosy charm I’d always imagined, I placed my order on Deliveroo, turned on Netflix and got myself comfortable while I patiently waited for my Sunday feast to arrive.
21/06/25 | Efes, Canning Town: The Turkish Spot That’s Off-Grid but On Point They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and in my family, that rings especially true. For Father’s Day this year, we wanted to celebrate with good food and even better company, and oh yeah, and of course celebrate our dad. My family and I are a family of foodies through and through, and while our go-to for family meals is usually a buffet (where everyone can pile their plates high with favourites), this time we decided to switch things up. Instead of our usual all-you-can-eat setup, we opted for a sit-down meal at Efes restaurant for a traditional Turkish experience. And let me tell you this, it did not disappoint. Ordering 2 Efes 1 platters, here's how our Father's Day feast unfolded...
04/04/25| Fine Dining at Korean Grill, Kensington: A Feast to Remember There’s something undeniably exciting about trying a cuisine for the first time, especially when it’s been on your foodie bucket list for ages. Last week Friday, my friend and I finally ticked off authentic Korean BBQ from our list with a visit to Korean Grill Kensington (KGK) . Nestled within the Millennium Gloucester Hotel in South Kensington , KGK promised a true celebration of Korean barbecue culture - and it certainly delivered. From sizzling meats grilled right at our table to the bold, punchy flavors of traditional side dishes, our meal was as much an experience as it was a feast. My friend and I opted for the “Chef’s Feast” at £68.00 per person, but did it live up to our expectations? Here’s how our evening unfolded...
