The pleasingly textured envelope I held in my hands made every person who ever sent me a letter look like a cheapskate. Eagerly I opened it and took out four stiff cards.
Hmmm.

London BBC Good Food Show 2007
Saturday, 6 June 2009 By Leave a Comment
Lying is one thing I’ve always found very hard to do, and I’m not even going to bother sugar coating it: I can’t remember much of this food festival that I attended with my good friend Robyn on 17 November 2007, more than a year and half ago. I have lots of pictures I can show you which will hopefully give you an idea of what it’s like to attend this annual event.

Gone are the days that I was too sheepish to take photos in public of everything I ate. Last year was the second time I visited the Taste of London food festival and unashamedly I whipped out my camera before dipping into my food. Want to see?
London’s Oyster & Seafood Fair 2007
Thursday, 13 November 2008 By 4 Comments
Looking at the year in the title you will gather that I’ve stalled for ages writing this post. August last year I keenly announced London’s upcoming Oyster & Seafood Fair. What were my expectations? My mind conjured up images of perfectly grilled fish, mountains of prawns (shrimp), crawling crabs and lobsters, massive mussels, sassy sushi and tons more. Well….it didn’t happen. I’ll keep this post short and bitter.

The sky was filled with scatters of grey clouds, threatening to pour down, but in the meantime was just teasing with a drizzle here and there. That didn’t deter the excited foodies standing in a long, wide queue in Regent’s park, in London on Saturday, the 23rd of June 2007. “Seared marinated organic salmon with fennel, shaved asparagus and lemon dressing,” I heard someone quoting from the Menu Cards we received. It sounded delicious. The anticipation could be felt in the crowd; people glancing at their watches continuously, standing on their tip toes, trying to see if the gates have opened yet. Who could blame them? I was just as thrilled, being there 20 minutes early, my stomach rumbling, preparing for the feast ahead. Suddenly people started cheering, a brief announcement was made and the gates opened.
