MY TOP 5 FAVOURITE SPOTS IN LONDON

Hey people:)

Happy Wednesday:)

I hope you all are well. Thank you to those who read, share and comment on my posts. I really appreciate it and it keeps me going:)

I feel London sick (cannot say home sick as it is not home LOL) and I miss all my amazing  food spots. I wanted to share with you my top 5 lunch/dinner spots in London. These are officially the best places to have office meetings, meet with friends, birthdays, family outings, dinner dates etc.

To get more information about them, please read the full post of these restaurants on the blog:)


1. GOKYUZU. This is a Turkish restaurant in Finchley road. It is a bus ride from Finchley station. They serve a lot of meat but also have a vegetarian section.



2. RODIZIO RICO; This is an all you can eat meat Brazilian restaurant with a brazilian street food section. I recommend it for all the meat lovers:) There is one restaurant at Covent Garden and another at 02 arena (this one is bigger)



3. WAGAMAMA; all time fav Japanese restaurant. They have so many locations in London though they do not do delivery. If you love spicy, I advice you order the 'fire cracker'. They do breakfasts at the restaurant in the airport and its yummy:)



4. MASALA ZONE; A great Indian Restaurant with non-veg and vegetarian options:) I went to the one in Covent Garden. I am not sure about deliveries. I advise you to go for the platters




5. BYRON; You cannot have a top 5 without burgers. Burgers add that extra spice to life. This place is not the usual Mcdonalds/Burger King type burger ooo. It is absolutely divine. Some compare it to FIVE GUYS and burgers at BURGERS & LOBSTERS but you should try all of them and see the difference.

Sweet & palatable Moi-Moi

Hey people,

I hope we are all doing well and we had an amazing weekend:)

For a while now, I start my saturdays with a hot plate of sliced bread, fried eggs, quaker hot and hot chocolate. My mum wanted something different this time so she ordered moi-moi.

She  heard about this place called 'NO LEFTOVERS' and how good their moi-moi tastes. They do deliveries too so it was just the most convenient option. She ordered for 12 so each person at home would have two or three.

The moi-moi came so late though like they had forgotten our delivery:( so they lost cool points with customer service but the owner apologised for the mistake so no hard feelings

It came in a nicely packed box. It was very hot too like they just made it (I advise not to eat moi-moi just made and very hot because it is really soft and not as nice). The food was really good and my mum and her friend really complimented it too and they ate it after it had cooled down.

For the moi-moi lovers out there, you should really try it out oo plus 12 cost 2200 naira with delivery. They are located in Gbagada, just beside Corona Primary School, Gbagada



                                                     SEE NICE PACKAGING OOOOOO




                       THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE MOI MOI IS TOO SOFT:(

Reunited with my childhood leisure centre; Ikoyi Club

Heyy people,

I hope our week has been amazing and the Lagos traffic (for those in Lagos) has not been too hectic. Yesterday I had the chance to go to Ikoyi Club after a really long time. I had not been there in over 10 years. I was one of the 'Ikoyi Club Children'.

I remember I would go there and swim and order 'the mixed grill'. That was my favourite food at Ikoyi Club. It was fries/rice with gravy, fried egg,sausage,steak and chicken. I would literally wait for as long as it took for the food to be ready. I loved it that much:)

Yesterday, my brother ordered the famous mixed grill but this time it was so small:( it still tasted as great as ever though. I just ordered ofada rice with the sauce and plantain on the side. They still have their usual suya too:) Other meals they have are fillet fish, beans, porridge, fresh fish, mashed potatoes and many more:)

The little treats Ikoyi CLub had to offer us;

What happened to Sweet Sensation??

Hey people,

I hope we all enjoyed our weekend and our week has started on a great note:)

My day was not too bad for those wondering:) It is quite obvious that I have been in Lagos for a while. Throughout my stay, I have been to Sweet Sensation in Gbagada twice. The first time I was a bit disappointed with the dry chicken and the small portion of rice I was given. I felt it might just have been a bad day for them.

However, I went there today again with my brother. My brother ordered the spaghetti and chicken meal. The food did not taste fresh, the chicken was small and hard and to make things worse, it had a weird smell after they took it out of the microwave (thank God say e no smell like spoilt food).
I ordered jollof rice, chicken and salad. It was not as great and I was very disappointed. This time, the customer service was really poor too.

Sweet sensation used to be one of my favourite places in Lagos especially because of its ice cream and big crunchy cones. They had a variety of meals and not just one type of chicken. Maybe it is just me overthinking it or the one I have been to is the bad egg in the basket.

Well, I am still asking, WHAT HAPPENED TO SWEET SENSATION OOOOO?!?!?!!
