TMS Travels: Istanbul – Spice Bazaar

Posted on October 31, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Quite by accident, we found ourselves in the Spice Bazaar which can be identified by, well, the massive amounts of spices in sacks everywhere. Quick tip: get in early before noon if you want time to browse and wander without being muscled along by the crowds – it seems that people don’t get up on … Continue reading →

TMS Travels: Istanbul – Iskender Kebab

Posted on October 31, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

It’s a ballsy move to only have one item on your menu. Do it right and you’ll never be in need of customers. Do it wrong – well you’ll be closing up shop in no time. On our food tour of Istanbul, our guide (Yelp Istanbul CM Gulfem) took us to one such place for … Continue reading →

TMS Travels: Istanbul

Posted on October 30, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

A few months ago when the Taksim protests were all over the news, I joked to a few friends that we should go to Istanbul for a weekend as flights were on the cheap side due to the normal slew of tourists avoiding the city. I should have known my mates would be up to … Continue reading →

COLD Bar – A classy way to experience the Horrors of Gin Lane

Posted on October 24, 2013 by themotleyspicer • 2 Comments

I’ve often had a moan about the lack of truly quality cocktail bars around the City. And then, like a cunning boxer, the City rose up and hit me with the ol’ one-two punch: the Barbican’s Gin Joint and the City of London Distillery (COLD) bar. Gin Joint is on the agenda for Thursday this … Continue reading →

Unconventional Breakfast – Bonda Cafe

Posted on October 21, 2013 by themotleyspicer • 4 Comments

Once of my close friends hosts an unconventional breakfast club through Yelp which provides a bit of motivation to get out earlier on the weekend for food the average person (in London!) wouldn’t’ associate with breakfast. Bonda café was the latest spot and we piled into this small basement café for some authentic Malaysian fare. … Continue reading →

Beak St Cheap Eats – Grillshack

Posted on October 11, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Grillshack is an interesting concept – a standard grill joint with a bit of technology integrated into the order process. The restaurant is all bare woods, open kitchen, and music that sounds like it’s bartender’s iPhone on shuffle. No problem, there are thousands like that around the US. But when it comes to ordering, you … Continue reading →

Cheap Eats – Noodle Bar

Posted on October 10, 2013 by themotleyspicer • Leave a comment

Sometimes you find yourself a bit skint towards the end of the month (or living on credit like me after a ridiculous splurge on food in NYC), and something of the cheap and cheerful side of life is in the cards. I tend to have trouble finding something that is both cheap and cheerful without … Continue reading →
