First post of 2009

And it's about nothing in general. Other then, that having taken my 5000th photo with the Panasonic Lumix camera I bought on September I need to get back on to updating this blog.

Dinner by Selfridges Food Hall

We bought dinner from the Selfridges Food Hall - Mozzarella, Aubergine and Tomato and Red Carmague Rice Salad with chickpeas, aubergine, pomegranate. Healthy and delicious! But not cheap at £14 for the lot but nice to come home to after the fireworks at Victoria Park.

Badly needed update! From Browns Focus to Busaba Eathai to Princi

My web log is showing signs of neglect... back to norm soon I hope! Went to the Browns Focus Halloween Party last night. Cocktails by Nobu and Food provided by S&M cafe - a selection of three sausages with mash and mushy pea dips, roast beef and horseradish in mini yorkshire puds and mackerel pate on bread. Delicious! The cocktails were a mixture of so-so... pomegranate juice stains all over my hands and shirt, what a clutz.

Went to Busaba Eathai on Wardour Street for a late lunch in the midst of the miserable heavy rain. Can't help but order the Thai Calamari. Love it. Stuffed our faces on the Mee Siam although I think they were a little mean on the amount of coconut sauce.

What is that across the street? A new shop? It looks like the kind of place I need to see... NOW. Unable to tell whether it was a restaurant or a bar... It turned out to be the new Artisan Italian bakery imported from Milan, Princi... described to me by the helpful staff as the Armani and Dolce and Gabbana of bakeries. Prepare your tastebuds as everything in this bakery is mouthwatering. The breads here are baked in a wood burning oven on site and pops and crackles of the wood can be clearly heard. It only opened 3 days ago and it a joint venture with Alan Yau (Hakkasan, Cha Cha Moon etc.).
