My favourite dim sum place in London

Hi everyone, how are you? Here is my post about the best dim sum, well the best I have tried so far in London. I have been coming here since I was very young, it is opened by people from Hong Kong, and has been opened since the early 90's so it has that level of authenticity when it comes to the Cantonese dim sum|!It's a great place and it is always filled with people so I would recommend to reserve a booking before coming!

Bond and brook. tea and scones in the city!


I have been to Bond Brook more than five times now, and every time has been comfortable and relaxing. You hardly find the place completely packed, so it's good for chatting with friends and family after a long day shopping.Not only do they have good taste for interiors they also have good taste in fashion, the photos in the restaurant are of classic Dior couture photos.

Torro D'Argamunt (Nougat of Argamunt)

Here is something I found in trusty old Marks and Spencer's the other day and it is amazing!I have been fascinated by nougats ever since my trip to Valencia two months ago and I was thrilled to find that they had this brand on sale in Mark's and Spencer's, it is slightly pricey but worth every single penny I spent!

Vicen's Nougat (£4.99), the brand is called Torron's Vicens they are from a place called Agramunt in Spaim, the place is famous for its nougat which is known is Spanish as Torro. The company itself was founded by the Vicens family in 1775, it is 'one of the oldest industrial companies accredited by the protected geographical indication torro d'argument.

Borough market, a little paradise for little old me.....

Having lived in London for about 20 years, I am embarassed to say that until this day I have never been to Borough Market! Having heard all wonderful stories from my fellow international students I decided it was time to give it a visit. 

Luckily on the day that I visited the market was opened and in full bloom! There were so much to see, so much to buy, it was well and truly overwhelming.

Carluccio's WHY YOU SO SALTY!!!!

Carluccio's at Brent Cross, a really bad bet. I'm always slightly afraid of chain restaurants; even if one is good the next one might not be the same. But in Brent cross all you get is chain restaurants, despite my bad first experience with Carluccio's a few years ago I decided to give it another go......
