A group of us went to the Blue Orchid for a meal – some wanted to try Thai but others were more familiar with Indian cuisine. This restaurant serves both, a definite plus in its favour when you have a mixed group! We had a lot of space to ourselves as well. Those of us […]
I’ve heard loads about Yauatcha – the ultimate place to eat dim sum, posh, the cool place to hang out. When Naomi suggested we went there for a dim sum lunch, I happily accepted. It meant going down to London but since it was to replace a trip to Paris I didn’t mind (I had […]
On Thursday night it was pouring with rain. We were not really hungry but it was dinner time and we’ve been to M&S to do some shopping. I felt like trying some different cuisine so I got Naomi to track down to Aqua for some Lebanese food. Naomi ordered some really nice Lebanese red to […]
Red Panda is tucked away in a quiet corner opposite Coventry Market. It is a Chinese buffet ‘eat all you can’ restaurant. But if you are in the know, you realise most of the Chinese clients there order a la carte. So we, Naomi and I, did, and they gave us appetisers – spicy cabbage, […]

“How can you eat soup when it is such hot weather?” I was asked. I love soup, I grew up in a hot country drinking soup almost daily. Recently, I discovered Vincy Kitchen, Market Way, Coventry market. Fantastic change from the ubiquitous sandwich. Anyway I thought I d write about it. There are not many […]
Friday morning I was told about Nazraj Signature Brasserie at a meeting and by 5.30 pm, I was really hungry because I had been rushing all over and not had time to eat properly. And I was in the neighbourhood but alone. Never mind I shall give myself a treat. It was understandably quiet at […]
