Korean Town, New Malden.

I went down to New Malden A.K.A Korean Town to treat two of my good and close friends, Crazy Jane and Sylvester (the same Sylvester mentioned in the Chinese New Year post ) to a meal, Wednesday just gone (06/03/13). Another friend called Jessica also joined us. Its kinda suppose to be are monthly thing that we do although we have only been twice now and the first time we went was like couple years ago. Terrible I know but now that I am more organize I think i will plan are gatherings so we do see each other at less once a month if not more.

ENEMIES ARE EASY TO COME BY BUT GOOD FRIENDS AREN'T SO CHERISH THE MOMENTS YOU CAN SHARE TOGETHER, TERRY MASTERS.

When you go down the high street of 'New Malden' you will see many Korean stores and restaurants, one of my friends Jessica was astonished didn't know that New Malden was considered the Korean Town of London.

The restaurant we went to was Yami, considered a very popular place to go too. The food was tasty although the Korean style BBQ pork and squid wasn't that great. The staff their cooked the food for us at are tables. We asked if it's ready to eat and the waitress replied with a 'maybe'. Waitress also forgot my bottle of wine I ordered from the beginning and my friend Jane who is a Pesco-Vegetarian, which she made clear before ordering got a miso soup with pork slices in it. I would say below average customer service. The decor isn't very traditional but its a nice moonlight kinda lighting small cafe style restaurant.

As always I have listed some review sites blow the image and address of the restaurant. Not really a place I would recommend based on customer service but the main dishes were made well and tasty.

Tipzy Day Out with ChanChan

I met up with my friend Chantelle last Tuesday gone (05/03/13). We have been speaking on and off but haven't seen each other for almost a year so this meeting was long over due.

We decided to meet up at Westfields. The one located in White City/Shepherds Bush, where we could do a bit of shopping, bit of eating and a bit of drinking although I did start the party early at home before i ventured out with a bit of drink as you do.

We met outside wood lane station (one of the closet stations to this Westfields), Miss ChanChan as I like to call her and myself had agreed on sushi but hadn't decided on which place inside Westfields. At this point I realized that the Westfields here was nicer for shopping as it offered a bigger selection of places to shop however lacking in places to eat department. Funny considering since they have massive food court area. However we decided on Yo! Sushi, not the greatest of sushi places but it will do the trick in a pitch and I've always loved their conveyor belt system for food distribution.

YELP.

Eating at Yo! Sushi with Miss ChanChan was so funny. When we was ordering she was like 'I'll have everything on this page (of the menu)' and the waiter was like 'whoa that's a lot' , Chan replies back with 'wait I am not finished' and I said 'Yea, whatever she orders times it by two so I can have some too'. When all the food came we could barely stack it around are seating area.

After Yo! Sushi we went to do a bit of shopping and the Beautiful Zoe joined us. Seriously I don't know what it is about her but God definitely out did his self (in my opinion) and shes so funny. Zoe thinks dark pinks and red lips stick colours don't suit her but she would make males legs go weak, tremble and fall over if worn with the right ensemble, crazy.

After bit of shopping Zoe had to go as she was hitting the gym although we did try are best to keep her out. Terrible I know. I didn't buy anything although not to lack of trying but anything I like they didn't have in my size. Thats why i love my smartphone. I just ordered off the phone. Ha no commissions for them now, assuming they get that.

We wanted to get are drink on at TGI's Fridays but unfortunately there isn't one in this westfields either only at the Stratford one, which was very disappointing but when you have a goal and focus minded nothing will stop you so we headed to Leicester Square TGI's branch.

As my bromance and BFF love TGI's I hollad at them, which they agreed to come down. We've sometime to waste we headed over to MM World.

Where ChanChan brought this big bag of MM's. It's crazy they have massive selection of tubes where you can pick which colours and tastes you want.

After getting the sicken amount of MM's we headed over to the bar at the TGI's and ordered a few drinks. Not long after my BFF joined us and then my Bromance and we got ourselves a table to seat down and get our munch on. Yep its dinner time.

It was jokes as you can see from the photo's. I have no idea why the waitress gave me this ballon hat. It's meant for the birthday celebrating people but I loved it all the same and clearly ChanChan loved it too.

We shared a good meal with jokes and even a game of 'I have never ever', which if you have never played is a game where you say 'I have never ever' and say something that you most likely have done or maybe something you want to know someone else has done and if they drink. That's a sign they have done it.

It was so jokes we ended up changing the game to 'I have' and just got it all out there however as this is my blog I won't be exposing other people's secrets no matter how juicy and funny they are.

Finally it came to the end of the day but however my hubby and me didn't want to call it a night and went over to 1997 in Chinatown and got another munch on. Seriously I don't know where we put it.

We had a taste for salt and pepper tofu. Yummy yummy in are belly's and it seems like every Chinese's restaurant makes it differently. Never have trying it here before, it was pretty damn tasty but the best we have ever had.

Weekend of Eating, Day 2 - The Sanctuary and The Breakfast Club

The Sanctuary

The last day of the crazy eating marathon started off at place i like to call Sanctuary. This location I am not going to disclose. Its place me and my mate go at less once a month to eat. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is amazing, the staff are amazing and sexy.

Its a place where we love to go, just be ourselves, release stress and just have good time. The amount of hours spent in one seating is crazy. Once we stayed there for over several hours eating and drinking and even had a few shots with staff and their boss. Epic times.

The Sanctuary is a place where we only invite people within our inner circle or that we consider a person we could spend some quality time with. A invite is a privileged and if refused or last minute cancellation is not acceptable and will be treated with zero invites to any future events or gatherings.

The Breakfast Club

My bromance had planned a evening event a month ago where we were going to enjoy pancakes. Yes we know its not pancaking day as its already passed. However this event was suppose to be a special occasion. Gathering of great friends to enjoy pancakes together, met new people and have a blast. Although I am making it sound as if it failed, which it almost did because they don't make pancakes in the evening even though we pre-booked the reservation and the management staff already stated an exception would be made for us. The chef wasn't aware of this and they weren't prepared for us.

My bromance turned his BOSS mode on and after having some private words with the staff. they're delivery driver staff went to the next closest branch and picked up pre-made pancakes and we weren't charge for the meals. We only had to pay for the drinks due to the misunderstanding and to add on top of that, we all got £10 vouchers that can be redeemed at any branch on our next visit to the 'The Breakfast Club'. WHOOP WHOOP.

The pancakes were amazing and their mike-shakes were tasty. I would definitely recommend a visit if you have never been before.

Weekend of Eating, Day 1 - Eat Tokyo and VIET Pho

For the last two days of eating although it seems like I have been over indulging for the last few days so here's a little recap.

So two of my friends turn up at my workplace out of the blue and not even ask but told me i am coming out tonight with them. Barely surviving the day after a mad Friday night just pasted, all I wanted to do was go home to bed. However I couldn't refuse, my friend was in need of consoling, which happen to be a talent of mine.

EAT TOKYO

So after various stops at my house and his to change we then headed to central London, specifically to Eat Tokyo a small Japanese restaurant near Trafalgar Square.

The food was very tasty, well presented and prepared. It's the closest I've had that matches the quality of Japanese cuisine, I have experienced during my time spent in japan on holiday a few years ago.

VIET PHO

After the meal we headed over to 'VIET Pho' again. A resturange I talked about in my blog post 'Drinks, Food and Magic' where we sat down after hours listening to music, playing Daai Di, (Big 2) Chinese card game over a bottle of red wine.

Was a good night with good company and food.

Chinese New Year 10th February 2013

Let me start this post of with Gong Hei Fat Choi (Happy Chinese New Year, in Cantonese) to everyone celebrating.

It's the year of the 'Snake' and I celebrated with my friends at 'Kpop' (CNY club promotion event) and it was awesome, besides the two hour entry wait outside the club because 'Revolutions' has a new security procedure where they take photos of you and your I.D. and because of this it took forever to get inside.

Once in, the party started, mad drinking, mad dancing and bare jokes shared by everyone.

The mean reason why I was celebrating there was because I had one friends birthday and another friends leaving party. Who will be leaving the country with no current plans to return and the worse part is I didn't even get to see him ¬_¬' How lame is that!?? Very LAME,

Closer to the end of the night we moved onto Chinatown where we ate at the legendary after party night restaurant to go to '1997'. Not a completed night-out, without getting some food from here. Also got some extra food for takeaway. With the amount of alcohol I had my stomach was definitely going to need it in the morning.

I crashed at my friends house, which we reached around 7:30AM although we have no idea how it took us so long. We left the club before 4AM and with an average calculation of time spent travelling and eating we somehow lost a hour, crazy.

Anyway the takeaway food was perfect in the morning too.

Why is cold Chinese food or matter of fact most takeaway foods like 'Pizza' in the morning or the day after taste so good?

Slept for about four hours and once I wake up. I stay up. Good thing too because me and my friend had to travel back to my area because we had a CNY dinner party to attend. My voice was so rough as well. I must have been screaming my head off.

However we still showed up late, probably because we were playing 'Scott Pilgrim vs the world' first time I've played it and its so addictive.

The dinner party was great. We hooked up two xbox 360's and played eight player 'Bomberman' and of course some 'Call of Duty Black Ops 2'. The highlight game of the party was 'Articulate' can't mess with the old school classic board games. Always good time.

Then it started snowing which was a awesome end to the evening.

Below is a link to BBC News article on the parade that took place during the day, enjoy.

Drinks, Food and Magic

Was out today catching up with a good friend I haven't hanged out with for almost a year properly till today. It was about time we caught up with each another.

We talked about whats current in our lives and whats been getting us down, which for me it was related to work. Having to deal with horrible people and thieves and the mental impact its starting to have on me.

For my friend it was more about family stress and issues, which I won't go into any details about as its not my life and its not my place to be stating other peoples person lives on my blog.

We were having a few drinks in Moon Underwater (Montagu Pyke - Chain of the JDwetherspoon Company) as it was known back in the days when we used to venture there in our troubled youth.

We then moved onto 'VIET Pho' My friend's friend restaurant. 'VIET Pho' is a really nice and quaint Vietnamese restaurant just around the corner from Moon and very close to Chinatown. The food was gorgeous very tasty, well prepared and presented.

I loved the decor so much I made comments on it quite a few times. I loved the symmetry and the use of white, red and grey colours. The Lighting was well placed as well. If you have never been I would definitely recommend it specially if you enjoy Vietnamese cuisine. The Restaurant is highly recommend by others and has great reviews (supporting links and address at the bottom).

During are time there it came to closing time. Seating with my friend's friends and after few late introductions I notice one person was playing with cards in his hands. There was something about him, he was admitting a very powerful but unusual aura. I was intrigued and I asked show me some magic tricks not even knowing if he could. It just felt like he could. This is the moment I met Calen Morelli.

Calen Morelli is a magician that has worked for David Copperfield, David Blaine, Theory 11 and of course Paper Crane, all well known.

It's one thing to see magician on TV specially after watching Dynamo last month but seeing it in person was amazing, shocking and incredible.

Calen is in London from American working and I felt blessed he honoured us with some magic tricks. Made my whole night. I wish I had brought my SLR out with me. Truly awesome guy with a bright future ahead. Below I have added some vids I took of Calen performing for us. Enjoy;
