London Daily Photo: La Vie Est Belle with Pierre Hermé
I spent yesterday afternoon at the Residence de France at 11 Kensington Palace Gardens (the official home of the French Ambassador) previewing some seriously delectable macarons and more by pâtissier-confectioneur extraordinaire Pierre Hermé. Much of what I tasted is under strict embargo until later this year, but let me assure you that it’s all well worth the wait. So stayed tuned for more details. Until then, I can tell you that Hermé’s Fetish Ispahan range will be available from 22 October to 8 December. A blend of rose, lychee and raspberry, the “Ispahan” flavour comes in variety of forms such as macarons, granola, bonbon and confiture. Yum. Continue reading

Kalixa Prepaid MasterCard
Kalixa Pay is a new prepaid MasterCard and eAccount. I was invited to set up an account recently and have since found the card to be a practical addition to my wallet’s somewhat limited arsenal of plastic. For specific budgets, one-off projects, special occasions and travel, I reckon Kalixa Pay is an ideal option for managing how much you spend. Continue reading

Coming Soon: The Clockjack Chicken Burger
Sometime this week, Soho’s Clockjack Oven will launch the Clockjack Chicken Burger – a fried chicken thigh burger with a bit of a kick to it. Lucky clucker that I am, I had a chance to sample a prototype of the new burger last week. It was truly delicious and I reckon will prove to be a very popular addition to an already tasty menu.

Fine Dining at Quantus in Chiswick, West London (OneTravel)
Another great restaurant to add to my growing list of London’s best is Quantus. Offering an exquisite menu of modern European cuisine with a strong Latin influence and a wine list that’s inspired and rather Latin tinged as well, this local west London fine dining establishment is a great option for foodies foraging around West London in search of excellence. Service at this lovely little Chiswick local is formal and prompt yet exceptionally friendly, and the prices are a huge relief. Continue reading
