Two weeks ago, Jon and I revisited Hibiscus to celebrate my birthday. (We were last there in December 2007, soon after Hibiscus arrived in London, and I was reminded of how long it had been since our last visit when I read Tamarind & Thyme’s rave review of her lunch there in December 2009.). I’d [...]

A few weeks ago, I’d read on Eat Noodles Love Noodles (an excellent blog written by “Mr. Noodles”) that Keelung restaurant (which I’d enjoyed despite its drubbing by the pros) had reinvented itself as a Szechuan restaurant called the Empress of Sichuan. On the strength of Mr. Noodles’s post, Jon and I had dinner there at [...]
Gem (Kurdish Turkish), Islington
Posted in Everyday in London, tagged Gem, Kurdish in London, London restaurants, Turkish in London on February 16, 2010 | 13 Comments »
Much as I love living near Angel, I must admit that the local restaurant scene often disappoints. So imagine my surprise when, two weeks ago, we re-visited Gem and enjoyed the food immensely? I like it so much that I went back again last night, and now I think it’s the perfect place to go [...]
The Well, Clerkenwell

There are very few things I miss about working in Canary Wharf, and lunch at the Gun is one of them. So two Fridays ago, when our friends suggested we meet for dinner at the Well, whose owners also own the Gun, I was thrilled. A quick glance at TimeOut’s review of the Well revealed [...]
Duke of Cambridge Pub, Islington

Yesterday, Jon and I moved from the Barnsbury side of Upper Street to the Saint Peter’s side. Although the two areas are only a 10-minute walk apart, Upper Street might as well be the Great Wall, because in the 4 1/2 years we’ve lived in Islington, we very rarely crossed that divide. Jon and I [...]
Most Delicious Eats Outside the UK (2009)
Posted in Everyday in London, Travel, tagged BlogSherpa, Europe, Travel on February 2, 2010 | 11 Comments »
Ironically, one of the greatest things about living in London is how easy it is to leave the country. From January to December last year, I traveled to New York, the Ribera del Duero in Spain, Madrid, New York again, Barcelona, Paris, Istanbul, Paris a second time, the Loire Valley in France, Paris a third [...]
