Lobster And Burger, London SoHo

For Kevin's birthday, we celebrated with our closest friends at Lobster & Burger in London SoHo.

This place did not disappoint.

Menu was simple: Grilled or Steamed Lobster, Lobster Roll or Burgers

Their signature lobster dish.... Enticingly presented, good looking, and very tasty.

Great company, fab food, buzzing ambiance and most importantly, perfect husband.

Happy birthday to you

Trinity College and Kings College, Cambridge UK

Sir Issac Newton is a physician and a mathematician genius and was a fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge. Having lived here for over 6 years, I never knew where one of his statues lived until earlier this week where Kev and I decided to ponder around Cambridge to explore the ins and outs of some of Cambridge’s most historic places…. Trinity College & Kings College. The Kings Chapel is a spectacular sight and I wanted to share some of the pictures I took whilst we were there.

We also treated ourselves to traditional homemade fudge and watched a demonstration on how it is made and I must say the fudge was smooth, soft and creamy..but I must admit, the fudge was ever too sweet for my liking but each to their own! It was an honour to see a traditional recipe still being followed through via traditional methods.

It was a treat to have the day off during the week; all in all, I had a fabulous day off with my hubby and thoroughly enjoyed the time sightseeing and having the city (almost) to ourselves…

Hope you guys are having a great week so far…

The Apocolips is here!

(from left to right: Luna, Nova & Stellar)

Right now, am absolutely loving the Rimmel's Apocolips Lip Lacquer RRP £5.99. Boots currently have a 3 for 2 promotion so I grabbed myself 3 of these babies to try out. There were 8 colour choices available and personally for me, I think I made some good choices! =^^= One for an everyday look, one for a date look and one to damn impress! I had not set out to pick colours for these occasions; it just panned out that way!







The consistency is across a lipstick and a lip gloss. It gives the intense rich colour of a lipstick, enhanced by a satin smooth shine. I am considering purchasing the whole colour collection…but for now, I’ll see how long my enthusiasm lasts before the novelty wears off.

At £5.99 you can’t whinge. Great colour pay off, pigment is awesome and the staying power? ….well, that depends on you!

The White Stuff

The snow in Cambridge has now cleared. Now that it has disappeared, I do some what miss the white stuff. Any how, I captured some lovely shots on my way to work one morning. 

Later in the evening, we went for dinner with some friends @ Teri-Aki at the Quayside.

Tonkotsu in SoHo & Golden Gate Dessert

This weekend Kev and I made our way through the freezing and snowy conditions in London for a leaving party. We decided to warm up before the event so we found this wonderful Japanese Restaurant in SoHo which creates the most amazing broth for Ramen.

Anyone who has eaten good ramen will know the importance of making a soup stock with perfectly balanced intensity. The main ingredients are a deeply flavoursome stock made from pork and chicken bones with vegetables and sometimes fish bones or katsuboshi ‘bonito’. Toppings vary hugely depending on the kind of ramen and the chef, from sweetcorn and butter to black sesame and garlic paste, but in almost all cases, there’ll be pork and a perfectly marinated gooey-yolked egg.

We ordered:

Handmade Prawn Gyoza, £5

Tonkotsu, £11
Rich, sea salt-based pork stock and thin noodles topped with slices of melt-in-the-mouth pork belly, half a seasoned soft-boiled egg, menma, bean sprouts and spring onions

Tokyo Spicy, £9
Soy sauce-based pork and chicken stock and medium thick noodles topped with pulled chilli pork, half a seasoned soft-boiled egg, menma and spring onions

The desserts we had were from the Golden Cake shop in Chinatown. Delish!!





This broth takes 18 hours to make and the intensity of flavours were apparent















For dessert we had: Soybean Curd & Soybean Milk with Barley.

Mango Ice Cream Cake.

OOTN | 1920's Themed Party

I just wanted to share with you my 1920's/Gatsy/Charleston inspired outfit I wore to a party in December. The play suit is from River Island and is embellished front to back. Here are some snippets of the night...
