Saturday Lunch

Hibiscus **

It's one of the top 50 restaurants in the world, according to the S.Pelligrino ranking. 

Amuse bouche: Watermelon and pineapple soda

Cherry Clafoutis, Toasted Pistachio Ice Cream, Cherry and Lime Gel

Hibiscus tea

Perhaps its tasting menu is better than the lunch.

A piece of Scandinavian heaven

It's always so exciting to discover interesting stores. 

Had a quick glance at this Scandinavian-style cafe, it's a stark difference to the chain cafes you see on every street corner. Nordic Bakery is a lovely place to read a book and sip coffee, if you can get a seat.

Pasta, glorious pasta

Boun giorno! I was greeted warmly by the owner as I walked into the store. 

The delicatessen is so amazing, it feels like you have been transported to Italy. 

If you love pasta, Lina Stores will satisfy all your cravings. 

Even if you don't, you'll be amazed by the variety of pasta they stock.

Beas knees

  

Bea's of Bloomsbury at Food Lovers Market Soho

Surprising drool-worthy cupcake find at the food lovers market. 

Marcus's kitchen

Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley **

This was our second stop of our gourmet tour after Sketch. 

 

We were offered to tour the kitchen. It was fun to see what goes on behind a two Michelin-starred restaurant. There is a chef's table in the kitchen - interesting atmosphere!

The chef Marcus Wareing was nice so we asked for a picture!

 

 

It was almost 1 am when we finished our dessert. We patted our bellies, feeling very happy and satisfied.

Sketching

 

The interior of Sketch is amazing, you have to see it for yourself. The 'Lecture Room and Library'* is grand, 'The Parlour' tea room is quirky, washrooms are sexy and futuristic. Great ambiance, but average service at the lecture room.

Lobster and lobster please

Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester ***

The roasted chicken & lobster starter is amazing.
