London- list of my favourite food places


1. Kimchee Restaurant

71 High Holborn
London
+44 20 7430 0956

I know, it's like how cliche can it get right? BUT kimchee restaurant is my FAVOURITE FAVOURITE restaurant.

It's fusion food I know, but it's really delicious. Plus for this ambience, great deco and all.. 2 pax is about 30 pounds (SGD$60).
That's about the normal price when we eat out in SG anyway.


2. Lobster Noodles @ Mandarin Kitchen

14 Queensway
London W2 3RX
Neighbourhood: Bayswater
020 7727 9012

An institution that needs no introduction. Apart from the church, will always bump into some friends here.







3.  Jamie Olivier in Notting Hill



4. Four Seasons Duck

Felt like they recently did a branding exercise.. the signboard looks so... Modern?

The duck... getting fattier. An institution as well.



5. Malaysian restaurant (ok! Hubby corrected me... It's C&R restaurant. If not, no one can find it). Haha :p



6. My fav dim sum in Chinatown - imperial china

Florence - Basic Facts & Recommended hotel

Florence's airport

Distance: 5 kilometers fr city center

Preferred mode of transport: The center can be reached in about 15 minutes by taxi, and in about 20 minutes with the SITA/ATAF "Vola in Bus" bus shuttle operating between the airport and the central railway station of Santa Maria Novella.

Super cheap transport- around 5 euros 1 way/ pax

Taxi- fixed 20 euros (normal conditions)


Recommended hote: Hotel Ambasciatori (near santa maria novella SMN station- good as a base to travel elsewhere) But will take about 15mins by foot to the shopping belt
