My Old Dutch, Chelsea

I've been coming to My Old Dutch for longer than I can remember and am always really happy when I introduce new people to it and they love it just as much as I do.

Monday Madness is the perfect day to do that as sweet and savoury pancakes are only £5! And they can easily be shared between 2. 

Thai Square, South Kensington

Mini-me's restaurant of choice after a trip to the Science Museum. Their lunchtime special of a vegetable spring roll, corn cake, hot and sour chicken and 

Maître Choux, South Kensington

So. Very. Pretty. 

I was introduced to Maître Choux a while ago on Instagram and have been dying to go ever since. A Summer Holiday trip to the Science Museum finally got me in close enough proximity to justify a visit.

Breakfast, Home

Jamaica's finest Blue Mountain coffee, accompanied by Gail's finest croissant and Cherry conserve. Sunday doesn't get much better...

Lalezar, Beckenham

Unfortunately so much more colourful than it was flavourful. Rather disappointed with this, not sure I've ever eaten a blander grilled chicken kebab.

Oddono's, Battersea

No Caramel at Oddono's today, but we somehow managed to pick acceptable new flavours out of the 18 on offer. Cookies and Cream and chocolate for mini-me and Coffee and Vanilla for me. Looking forward to our regular caramel hit next time...

Shake Shack, Stratford

Shaking it at the Shack with mini-me after watching Usain Bolt and Mo Farah take the Gold in the Sainsbury's Anniversary games. The Shake Shack burgers are hands down some of the best! So I thought I'd give their hotdogs a try this time and this Shack-cago Dog did not disappoint!! 

Dinner, Home

First Family dinner at the new house... :-)

Mr A's Brasserie, Balham

Mr A's Brasserie never disappoints, especially for the day after the night before type starvation that I was suffering on this 'started way to early there's still alcohol in my system' Saturday afternoon.

Packed Lunch

Mini-me's lunch of choice today. Some days I have no idea what to give her for packed lunch and today was one of those days. This is what she requested.

Mum & Dad's, Battersea

Gourmet Sausage, Mash and Onion gravy courtesy of my fabulous Mum. I just happened to be passing her house at dinner time (as I usually am.. Lol) and this was going begging ;-)

Leilani, Battersea

Random dinner date and open mic night with the wife. Could've happily drowned in the Potato Gratin, it was divine! 

Mum & Dad's, Battersea

Sunday Dinner at the Parent's. Mum's Lssagne for the Sunday win!!

Lunch, Beckenham

A bit of a monster lunch today! Wasn't expecting the Falafel wrap to come with salad AND chips! Had to take half of it home.

Thali and Pickles, Balham

After an extremely tiring wilderness excursion through Esher Common mini-me chose Thali and Pickles in Balham for our dinner date.

Breakfast, Home

I always struggle with breakfast on the go due to 

1) not eating pork

2) being wheat/gluten intolerant

3) having serious milk issues so being unable to eat cereal/porridge 

Dinner, Home

Gluten free eating continues in earnest, tried courgettini for the first time and have to say I was well impressed.

Brunch, Home

My stomach hates me at the moment... I think I had one cake too many recently, although I thought I was being really good...

Breakfast, Home

Mini-me's Saturday breakfast choice, Banana Pancakes, Stewed Apples and Honey for the win.

Tabernacle, Nottinghill

A Sunday well spent at Tabernacle, great food, ladies and laughs. Really enjoyed my Caribbean Brunch. Although I ordered it I didn't have very high expectations and I was pleasantly surprised.

Pho, Battersea

Friday Pho with the mini-one, it was her turn to choose. We've made the mistake previously of ordering individually, but neither of us even made it halfway, so now we share... And she usually eats more than me.

Turtle Bay, Walthamstow

The opening of the 2nd London branch of Turtle Bay in Walthamstow. Once again the food was perfection and the cocktails were flowing. Would love a branch to open in South London.

Revolution Bar, Battersea

First food date of the New Year... Also first time being at a Revolution Bar without taking shots, that will be on account of it being the middle of day... Lol A quick wine and nacho business meeting to plan the year ahead.

Laduree

Mummy Ramblings knows me so well... This rose flavoured macaron filled with rose petal and lychee cream, and embellished with fresh raspberries is all my favourite flavours in the most amazing  package. This pic really does it no justice.
