Wahaca, Westfield



Wahaca, Westfield- needed a break from shopping at Westfield. The weather was nice so I wanted to sit on the southern terrace so decided to go to Wahaca for a drink and snack before leaving.
The citrus fizz (have a mojito if you are not driving!) was refreshing and the tortilla chips and guacamole is a favourite of mine!

HK Diner, Chinatown

salt & pepper soft shell crab

beef in black bean sauce

roast duck and rice

HK Diner, Chinatown- after an expensive cocktail at the W hotel, it is definitely a good idea to pop down th road to HK Diner for a cheap but delicious dinner.
Started with salt and pepper soft shell crab, followed by road duck and rice. My friend had the beef in black bean sauce. With tea, diet coke and service, a total of 26 quid! bargain!
p.s don;t expect great service, they can be rude but just ignore it! go there for a good, cheap, quick dinner!

HK Diner is located at 22 Wardour Street, Soho

Cocktails at The W hotel

Lady Chatterley's Lover cocktail

The W hotel, Leicester Square- after work drink there was awesome. The lounge bar was stylish and comfortable, service was good. Ideal place to spoil yourself with a great (expensive!) cocktail, conversation and people watching!

The Hart, Stamford Brook



The Hart- local pub/bar near my friends flat in Stamord Brook, west London. We normally go on tuesday where the pizzas are 2 for 1 and there is also a pool table. Unfortunately the pool table was broken and the cocktails we wanted were not available! However the fresh pizza and substitute elderflower and lime cider made up for it!

Cafe Mezza, Watford

Lamb Kafta

stuffed vine leaves

chicken wings & garlic sauce

halloumi and vegetable skewers with cous cous

lamb & chicken shawarma

 
fried halloumi










Cafe Mezza- went out to our local lebanese restaurant for a friend's birthday. The food was good and very good for price! we managed to get 2 free bottles of house wine and a slice of chocolate cake (for the birthday girl) with our meal!
Definitely one place to try if you are ever in watford for dinner!
