We hadn’t made a reservation (not knowing how busyContinue reading “The Fat Hippo”

LuigiKhans
We were so lucky to be invited to LuigiKhans for a dinner date. It was exactly what we needed! There’s this advertisement near to my house that I think is absolute genius. It’s advertising a Punjabi restaurant and there’s a picture of a naan bread with 3 words written across it: ‘There’s naan better’. IContinue reading “LuigiKhans”
Shark Club – Wing Wednesday
Our friend Dan happily wrote about his recent chicken wings experience with MrJ. Enjoy! I’ll tell you straight off, me and wings had a big fall out several years back when I made the fatal error of trying some cheap microwave chicken wings from Iceland. Why, you ask? All I can say is: student. Broke.Continue reading “Shark Club – Wing Wednesday”

JJ’s Kitchen
We had packed our bags and were getting ready to head to London for a weekend adventure, when we realised: 1. we had no food in the house 2. we were too lazy to walk to the supermarket and buy food and then cook it. 3. we had to leave in 1 hour! My foodieContinue reading “JJ’s Kitchen”
