Restaurant Review: ASK

picture of me and my brother at ASK. My eyes closed when the photo was taken (I look the same as usual.)

A different format than my usual for ASK, due to the fact that the fact that I didn't like my dish - veggie pizza - was entirely my own fault as I ordered in a hurry (don't ask), without having properly reading the menu. So I didn't see that the ingredients were all things I didn't like, which is at no fault of the cooks. Also, I went with my entire family and therefore had a huge range of foods. So instead of using words today, I'mma shut up for once (I heard the whoops :p) and just post the photos.

Starters

Mains

Desserts

All that, and drinks, came to just over £100. Overall, the rest of the fam seemed to enjoy themselves so I'll give ASK a B+.

First day of the month nostalgia.

This was taken in China in 2009. I like it because a) my godawful fashion sense hasn't changed a bit over the three years, crap hairclips and all, b) I'm "playing football" and c) I seem amused.

Restaurant review: SMOLLENSKY's (Strand)

Such is the bustling, crowded nature of the Strand, that blink and you’ll miss Smollensky’s Bar and Grill, which is wedged in a small space just next to Boots. It’s quite unfortunate for them, yet fortunate, in some ways, because, on the day of paying this place a visit with the girls from work, their grill was broken, meaning I couldn’t choose a steak or a burger that I had my eye on. This is at the same time fortunate, because I love fish, and tend to mark seafood and grade dishes more leniently. So, that little setback was good and bad.

It had to be done!
