My Biggest Adventure

I have been thinking for a while, what is my biggest adventure in my life? Oh well, its probably me dropping out of polytechnic and pursued a diploma in a private school, and here I am in London! I remember working long hours to try paying back my parents that are supportive with my decision. Wow, time really flies. I can't believe I'm turning 21 this year, and also getting my Bachelor degree!!

Next, I will be going inter railing for 1 entire month in Summer! It will be the greatest adventure I am up to!!! I'm not rich but I just want to explore little towns and get lost. You don't need to be rich to explore the world, when there is a will, there is a way. Im struggling but to travel, I don't mind surviving on just bread with spread. After all, its all the life time experience you will receive.




In the end, we will only regret the chance we didn't take. So do it.

clueQuest The Live Escape GAME.


A few days ago, I was invited by Nuffnang to have a night out with some of the bloggers. Cluequest was one of the highlights of the day! It is a real life escape game that was located at East London. At first, I was skeptical about the reviews on Trip advisor. It is rank number 1 in attractions of London!! How can I not know of! 

Met up with the bloggers for the first time! 10 of us are broke up into 2groups of 5! We were basically locked in a room for 60 minutes and we have to solve little mysteries that are all around the room! The founders of clueQuest built and designed the game from scratch to give everyone a unique experience. The room, the props, literally everything! 

If we were stuck for too long, Mr Q ( the creator of the game) will send us some hints on the walkie talkie or on the screen in the room! How amazing!! I can say that the difficulty level is not that high! Mr Q is just being tricky! Im sure its a good game for family as well! 

Definitely it is the most exciting ice breaker game I've ever played. I truly enjoy my time there, and I get to know more about the other bloggers too! It was a fruitful night :)

You should not hesitate! Mr Q is waiting for you to accept this challenge!

It is just a stone throw away from Shoreditch High Street station! Book your escape now! Up to 5players to book at Escape! (Minimium 3)

Big Easy Covent Garden soft launch

Hi there!

So, I managed to get a table on Big Easy's soft launch today! They are really generous to offer a 50% on all food. No doubt that it has the best lobster in London! I'm a huge fan of BE but it is so tedious to travel to King's Road all the time! Click here to check out my post on Big Easy Kings Road:) I was elated when I knew that they will be opening in Covent Garden! So much more convenient!  I already made reservations to be back next week! Im not paid to be advertising for them, it is really worth all the calories.

It is located a stone throw away from Covent Garden station! You won't miss it when you arrive at Maiden Lane :) We were greeted warmly throughout our whole dining experience! The servers are all dressed in checkered shirt, a huge smile at all time! Thumbs up!! Im loving the whole concept of BE Covent Garden. 

Just look at the stunning bar! This is not the only bar! The other is at the lower ground, which looks pretty cosy!

Look how spacious is it! Definitely so much better than the one at King's Road! There are more seatings available here.


 Since we had 50% off food, the manager told us to go "BIG". Yes, we did it. We ordered a 3lb lobster, and St Louis Pork Ribs!

All lobster meals comes with a complimentary beer or a slushie cocktail. We had Strawberry Daiquiri.

 BIBS ON! Look at my excited face :>

Here it is!!! Im sorry if you are starting to drool. If you are hungry, you can exit this page now  #iwarnedyou

Presenting to you, Dry-Rubbed St Louis Pork Rib. It is served with pit smoked beans, coleslaw and potato salad (£14.95)
*Creamy spinach does not comes with this meal! We ordered separately on the side (£3.95)

Our 3lb lobster served with chips and a portion of green salad (£35)
We chose garlic butter to go along! Drawn butter and Hollandaise are the other options available.
Does it look like an ordinary 1 1/2 lb lobster to you?? IT IS NOT! ILL PROVE IT!

Look at this red monster! Yes, no doubt a 3lb lobster. 


Lastly, it won't be complete without a dessert. Apple Cinnamon with Homemade waffles! It was a letdown. I guess this places isn't for desserts! The waffles tasted like Belgian waffles, I expected something crispy and fluffy! 
Overall, it was fantastic! Great atmosphere, food and service! Thank you Big Easy for the experience of dining in today! It officially opens on 17March! To book a table, click here.

Best food buddy in London goes to Belda x

Broadway Market

It was a lovely Saturday morning, it is good weather in London again :) Decided to explore Broadway market with Belda! Its my first time here and I'm loving it.

Broadway market is located at a walking distance from Bethnal Green tube station. It only opens on Saturday, from 9am to 5pm. This little small street has it's charm! They have everything! Cakes, coffee, meat, burgers, clothing, accessories. YOU NAME IT! We were indecisive on what to eat, what to get. Spoilt for choices! 




Glorious smoked salmon

Belda claims that its a Aubergine feast! This stall has loads of salads to choose from! Selling at £3 per pot. You can mix all you want!

 Some savoury pies/tarts for you?

Sweet tarts

Chocolate truffles

Olives! Am not a fan, sorry! ;) 
 The lemon drizzle with pistachio one is so good
 Happy Belda with her £2 tart

 Mini dutch pancakes is my favourite! Soft inside, crispy inside!

I see Malteses brownies! 
More cakes!

Do visit when you are here in London on a Saturday! Its definitely worth your visit!

Hyde Park

So glad to be able to meet up with Jessie in London again!! Yes, LONDON. I'm starting to love the fact that most of my friends are having flying as their career. At least the probability of one stopping by in London is higher! ;) Woke up early at 7am, met her at Oxford Circus! In fact, we agreed to meet at 830 but we both lost each other. I was waiting near the ticketing counter for ages and Jessie is waiting at the station as well. ITS SO WEIRD?! From where I am, I only see Exit 1,2,3,4. And Jessie told me she only see 5,6,7,8? I started panicking if we were both at the same station! Thank god I still have credits on my mobile so I gave her a call after waiting for 30mins. 

Finally am wearing my trench coat!! The weather is pleasing! Love the sun, winter is officially over! Had breakfast club for breakfast but the quality of picture is really bad so I decided not to post it! I had eggs benedict and Jessie had a Sausage sandwich/burger. That looks really good! We all finished everything! 

We then stroll around soho - canaby street - regent street - bond street - hyde park ! We stopped there for a bit.

The last time I've been to Hyde Park is during the Christmas period, where Winderwonderland is. I definitely prefer Hyde Park in the day. Its just so relaxing and everyone is just people watching by the bench, feeding the swans, ducks, pigeons. Hahahah! The view was lovely. Thank god Jessie is able to see the bright side of London! Hahah, last time when she was here, it was raining cats and dogs the entire day! 





Glad she enjoyed the park very much! Its pretty huge! It links up a few underground stations! We walked towards Knightsbridge, stopped by Harrods for a bit. Big easy is the ultimate best shack ever! 

For your information, Big easy will be opening at Covent Garden on 17March ! They serve better lobsters than Burgers and Lobster I reckon! So, go book your table now to avoid disappointment!
Am so lucky to get a table on their soft launch which they offer a 50% for all food. What a deal!!!!! I will definitely do a post about it when I visit on 11march! 


Stay in tune guys! 
xx
