Some Tears

And most importantly... the birth of my nephew Mr. Alvin Lau! Words simply cannot explain how much i love him and I am so proud to be his Aunt for the rest of my life.

London Foodie!

You have probably guessed it by now but I confess I am a total foodie! Im not one of those girls who are shy to eat those sinful sweets or deep fried carbs once in a while! It's all about moderation and pacing myself. 

Gatsby style afternoon tea at the Balcon

Tea for two!

The iconic balcony

This was a tea set for two. The portions were quite big and although some of the

desserts were a little to sweet for my taste, it is still worth a try if you have the time

since toptable.co.uk does really good deals for this place.

Mini scones with jam and clotted cream. Selection of finger sandwiches 

and four different patisseries... the table next to us had macaroons too!

The scones were probably my favourite.

A quiet weekday afternoon... we came a little later so most people would have 

finished afternoon tea by then. 

Andaz 1901 at Liverpool street. Weekdays have really reasonable set menus 

and the atmosphere was great. After dinner we enjoyed a few cocktails as well.

Enjoying a few cocktails after dinner...perfect!

A happy girl at Duck and Waffle, Liverpool Street. 

The best view possible! The iconic Gherkin was in full view!

Their iconic fried pig's ears...

Duck & Waffle obviously. I was actually quite disappointed at their iconic dish. Their food is quite rustic and some of the flavours go really well together, but the prices are high,

 so you are more than likely paying for the view instead! 

Some wicked wall art at the waiting area.

Catch up... Over Coffee

Just a quick catch up of some of the things i have been up to since my last post! To be honest university has occupied most of my time, working hard day in, day out...I guess this is training me up for real work in the future right?! haha. Hard work still deserves some time to relax right? I can't imagine anything better than a nice cup of coffee and some comfort food to fill me up and get my engines going!

Coffee outside V&A museum

One of my favourite exhibitions in London! Steampunk, gothic and eerie romance...that is me summed up!

Barista art... this is on my 'to learn' list...any offers to teach me?

Enjoying a rose lemonade

Delicious Lebanese food! 

1920s slip dress showcased at the V&A

Since my last blog, there have been many celebrations... birthdays,engagements, anniversaries... I've been able to share some special moments with the people i love!

Coffee, tea and memories with old friends...

Waiting for my nice cup of English brew...

A few cups of coffee is definitely needed to get me through these books!

Starbucks, Prêt a Manger, Costa... I really am a coffee addict! Although I would much rather support local cafes...

Silly times with coffee...ahhhhhhh....
