Hmmm, I wonder what Burger & Lobster sell? This is a place that has really decided to follow the phrase “It’s all in the name”. The menu is so simple, that there isn’t one. You quite simply can order a burger (with optional bacon and cheese), a 1 1/2 lb lobster (either grilled or steamed), … Continue reading

Evans Cycles – A bike chain done right
This store is my go to place for cycle stuff for its friendly quick service, breadth and depth of stock, and excellent location. Unlucky for me (and any drivers I almost played chicken with) my front bike light finally died after 3 years of faithful use through rain, sleet, and snow. Given that I’m somewhat … Continue reading
BurgerQuest – Bar Boulud’s BB Burger
Bar Boulud is pushing the bar for burgers in London just for a bit higher with some innovative creations, epic attention to detail that really shines through in the taste and texture of the meat, and a high level of service to back it up. Bar Boulud was the location for the latest Yelp BurgerQuest, … Continue reading
BurgerQuest: Burger Bear
I was sitting at work in the 3pm slump, trying to decide what to eat for dinner. I mulled around some healthy choices (nothing exciting) and then Erica U came to the rescue with a heads up about a Burger Bear pop-up going down in Peckham called Only Beats and Burgers. Done deal! I’ve realised … Continue reading
Steak Out – Goodman’s Canary Wharf
Ah steak! I’ve been travelling all over town in search of the perfect steak, and I think I’ve found my favourite. Hawksmoor Air, you did well, but it’s Goodman’s Canary Wharf that really stole the show with an incredible Nebraska corn-fed bone-in ribeye last night. It’s a long post, but there was a lot to … Continue reading
Yum Bun – Soft buns + tender meat = awesome
Yum Bun was one of my first street food discoveries in London and has continued to remain dear to my heart with their soft fluffy buns, sharp crisp flavours, creative combinations, and brilliant smiling people who really appear to love what they do. I was disappointed when they didn’t make an appearance at FEAST at … Continue reading
The Black Heart – Kimchi Cult Pop-up
It creeps me out a little that the website for the Black Heart is http://www.ourblackheart…. Was http://www.theblackheart… taken? Or do the owners really have pure evil at their core? Whatever the reason, one can’t fault them for picking a theme and going full on with it. The Black Heart is a black metal pub with a small venue … Continue reading
Borough Market Munchies – The Guildable Manor
Delicious fresh food, quick service, witty banter from friendly cooks I used to work at London Bridge so I’d often wander over to Borough Market on the latter half of the week for a bite to eat for lunch. Even now I love dropping by on a Saturday just before the crowds for an early … Continue reading
Yelp Meet the Owner Event – Kua’aina
I really thought I had already written a review for this but it must have been the food coma talking. Not sure what to add except my hearty congrats to Alex S for another excellent event, my typical moaning about the term “light bites” completely underestimating the amount of food Ed (the owner) showered us … Continue reading
Disco Bistro – Great name, meh food
This is a bit late, but better late than never right? I went to Disco Bistro fairly shortly after its opening and was pretty excited to try out the new ideas from the kitchen team. Overall, I think I had a low to middling experience with some things being exception but generally a let down. … Continue reading
