Looking back over our foodie experiences; spending our 1^st birthday at Hakkasan was definitely a highlight so we were delighted to be invited back to celebrate the launch of their new opening in Greece.

I'm at Joe Allen's

13 Exeter Street, London WC2E 7DT

In continuation from last weeks post, this month’s #nationalburgermonth post comes from dining at Joe Allen. This underground hideaway is located in between some of London’s most infamous theatres and is well known for pre or post theatre dinner. With just a small sign poking out from the brickwork, Joe Allen ushers its diners into a 1950’s theatrical eatery, with pictures of well known actors, actresses and stage characters.

So for the next 3 weeks, it’s burgers only on the menu in aid of #Nationalburgermonth and what better way to get things started than to head to one of the worlds most picturesque paradises, Hawaii.

Now that Jamelia's in NYC, my foodie dates have become awfully lonely but a good meal in and of itself is always great company (no shade Jam). This week however, I headed to a spot in one of London’s most thriving and diverse situations, Soho. Soho Kitchen and Bar, located along the iconic Old Compton Street, this Soho House owned buzzing restaurant is an ideal spot for after work. Tonight’s date alongside dinner, is mi Madre.

I'm not fussy, I'm just Pesci

By my final year of uni I had officially had enough; with the stress from exams loading up I had grown tired of doctors prescribing steroid creams with ambiguous side effects, I decided that it was time I worked from the inside out and researched the best diet to heal my skin.

So while I'd love to confess that I gave up meat to combat animal cruelty, deforestation caused by the need for more space to house livestock or some other nobel ethical reason. Unfortunately my initial reason for adopting a pescetarian (also called pesco-vegetarian diet) was what some would consider to be pretty shallow - purely for aesthetic reasons. 

I have been a victim of eczema from birth - yes victim because it is a seriously irritating dry skin condition which like a bad smell continues to come back with a vengeance - until I changed my diet.

Messy Friday Nights

74 Welbeck Street

London, W1G 0BA

Central London has a wide array of food establishments to choose from, and usually our hunger needs can be catered to within a 5 mile radius however this one night, I found a dark, mysterious cave hidden in the back streets of the busy city...

Booster Seat

A high street or shopping centre near you..

Staying on the clean streak, this weeks bitesize post deals with ‘drinking clean’.

While the importance of healthy living is being drilled into us more intensely, the cost (financially) is not as enticing. 

Elusive Exclusive

Lobster Kitchen
111 Great Russell Street
WC1B 3NQ

This week I really fancied lobster, and lobster specifically. Not seafood – lobster! The obvious choice is Burger and Lobster, one of the only places in London you can pay £20 for a full lobster but going against the norm is always fun right? 

Something Sketchy...

Sketch
9 Conduit Street
London, W1S 2XG

Overpriced and undercooked.

When dining, it is easy to fall for what psychologists refer to as the ‘Halo Effect’ whereby a positive impression in one area is generalized to an object/person/venues entirety. We very nearly made this mistake with Sketch. 

Ask Me Again in 10 Years

Yauatcha
(You probably know the address by now)

So we are back again!

With food produce changing, the authenticity of ingredients evolving and methods of dining revolving left right and centre, it is an incredible achievement for any business to stay relevant, current and of a high quality in this day and age. Yauatcha proudly celebrated their 10 year anniversary recently and they were gracious enough to invite the extended WOM family to the party!

It was with great delight but equal anxiety that we accepted the invitation to dine with no other than Executive Pastry Chef of HakkasanGroup, Hakkasan, Yauatcha, HKK and Sake no Hana - Graham Hornigold. 

Dim Sum and Then Some..

To conclude our day of natural hair antics at ‘Women in The Jungle’, we made our way into Soho to a recommended Oriental Restaurant- Yauatcha.
