So I was planning to blog about our trip last week to the Ribera del Duero, but that’ll have to wait a few days because I learned today that my blog was nominated for two categories in the 2009 Lonely Planet Travel Blog Awards: Best Destination Blog and Best Expat Blog. I’m pretty psyched/chuffed. Between [...]

Busaba Eathai, Bloomsbury
Posted in Everyday in London, London Eating, tagged Alan Yau, Babylon exhibit, Bloomsbury, British Museum, Busaba Eathai, Fitzrovia, London restaurants, Thai in London on February 19, 2009 | 8 Comments »
The day after eating at Sake No Hana, Jon and I went to see the Babylon exhibit at the British Museum (which, by the way, wasn’t thought-provoking or even entertaining.

Normalement, I make up my own mind and hate being a follower. But when Thomas Keller says he likes a place, I’m not ashamed to follow in his footsteps. Plus, I’m a francophile. Throw in the title of French Restaurant of the Year, and really, why did it take me so long to visit Galvin [...]

Posted in Travel, tagged Bath, London Daytrips, Marlborough Tavern, restaurants in Bath, Thermae Spa on February 5, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Last Saturday, Jon and I were in Bath for an afternoon of R&R at the Thermae Spa, and to fortify ourselves for the tough task of undergoing spa treatments and lounging in the steam room and pools, we needed lunch. Despite its mention in the 2009 Michelin Guide, The Marlborough Tavern didn’t make a good [...]
