Selfridges The Brass Rail

Hello everyone, today I have another small restaurant review for you.
Last couple of weeks I have been doing some Christmas sales , to be honest near Bond street there are nothing really good to eat ( or I was too busy shopping and not realizing. ) I have been to Smack Deli which has Lobster roll and soup.
I have heard the salted beef sandwiches in Selfridges food hall The Brass Rail is very good and since I was there I had a try.

I ordered half sandwiches as I was going to meet a friend later on for coffee . I have ordered the classic salted beef with English Mustard.  The mustard is very strong and the beef is too salty for my taste. Yes I know it is salted beef but it was just too salty perhars there are no veggie for the sandwiches thats why.

You have a choice of half , regular and large sandwiches and a few choices for the bread . I went for the wholemeal, it is just a normal wholemeal bread nothing special.
I was lucky to order soya milk with my sandwich so it can balance the mustard ..

Personally would go again to try other dish but I doubt I would go back for the sandwich unless you are fan with salty food. The restaurant is very busy thou so I suggest many people do like it  .

Give it a go if you are around there next time , am sure you might find it differently .

Arang - Korean Restaurant Review

Happy New Year Everyone ! I hope you all had a fabulous new year eve celebration and I wish you a prosperous year .

I went to Arang for New Year eve dinner, it is a Korean restaurant near Piccadilly Circus. I have been to hear before and this time I went with some friends and they have ordered a couple of new dishes. One of the dish I would not normally order but it was surprisingly delicious.

I love Korean BBQ , they offer cook it in the kitchen or do it yourself on the table. We have chosen to cook in kitchen as we ordered a lot of dishes. They have a extractor fan so it wont make your clothes smell .
  
 Seafood Pancake - sorry about the photo , we were all excited about the dish. It is very good we all love it .

Spicy pork with Tofu. Not too spicy at all very good with tofu and rice.














Sweet and Sour Pork - especially for my hubby , just in case other food he doesn't like but he loves it all. Still this is his favorite dish of the day.

BBQ sirloin steak - we ordered 2 of these, it is very very tasty

 BBQ pork - very yummy too.

 A very surprising dish ! Beef tartare with raw egg yolk. Yes this is not something I normally order but it is very very delicious .  I dont feel like I am eating raw beef , it has some kind of chewy feeling as it is cold and also it is sweet with the sauce. Definitely worth to try if you are an adventure food lovers.

 Last but not least, I have ordered Ox tail soup . It came with rice . I havent had Ox tail soup for a long time. This is not the best dish in the restaurant as my friend ordered a beef soup and it taste the same. One of my friend ordered a Crab soup and it was so spicy . Apparently the best soup in the house is Spicy Tofu soup , it is much smaller than ours one and it is super spicy.

Table full of delicious dishes and drinks , they also give us oranges at the end. We have also ordered a glass noodle dish but we ate it all before I remember to capture it .

If you like Korean BBQ  , I think this is a good restaurant to try . It is very close to Piccadilly Circus tube station, about 10 mins walk. I would recommend to book in advance as they are always very packed. It is more towards the higher price range restaurant but not too pricy

Address : 9 Golden Square, Soho, London W1F 9HZ

Nearest Tube staion :  Piccadilly Circus ( Piccadilly line )

Merry Christmas !!!! Christmas Feast ...

Merry Christmas Everyone !! I hope you all have a lovely time with family and friends .. ..

We had a traditional Roast turkey Christmas feast, Mr. B loves turkey....

Big Turkey ... It is 5.4 kg .. enough for 8 people !

 

Put homemade garlic, parsley butter under the skin of turkey for 220 for 10 minutes , then cover it with bacon to protect the turkey getting dry .

 Who like brussels spout ? I have to say I do cook this quite well... .

  Carrot and Parsnip ... Yum Yum

 

Table all set nicely for this special day !

     Smoked Salmon snacks

 

 Heston with Waitrose Mince Pie is the BEST !

Of course with Christmas Pudding !   

Come back soon to see what I bought during boxing day sales

2 more days until christmas ... Pre Boxing Day sales/ Paddington Movie/Bluewater's Winter Wonderland

TWO more days until Christmas !!! How exciting is that ! Are you all ready ? I have done my groceries shopping and they are all now in the fridges. 
重有兩日就到聖誕節喇！勁興奮呀！你們都準備好未呀？我已經做買晒野放晒雪櫃迎接聖誕節...


Not just looking forward to Christmas , I am also looking forward to Boxing Day sales. So far in the UK have been having a lot of sales, Black Friday, Cyber Monday , and some department store have sales event. , etc .. ... . I was hoping to get a lot of good deal during Black Friday Sales however it is actually as cheap as I thought. I managed to pick up some bargains last week , I suppose it is more like per-boxing day sales now .. I hope I can pick up some more bargains on 26th .. ahahah
我唔單只期待聖誕節，我比較期待聖誕節翌日既減價。到目前為止，係英國已經有好多減價，黑色星期五，網絡星期一，百貨公司銷售活動。等。...。我本身諗住係黑色星期五可以四到野但其實都唔係好平。我上星期好好彩買到減價又想要既野，我諗係pre sales掛..., 我希望我26日再可以買到啦..  　哈哈哈


We had brunch before we head out  ..食左英式早餐先出街


Mr.B 's

 Mine , I have no idea why I always prefer Veg. breakfast rather than a normal one

 我雖然唔係素食者,但係我比較鍾意素食版既英式早餐









We went to watch Paddington , it is such a very sweet story. I dont think it is only for children, I love it too...
我地去左睇 Paddington, 好得意, 唔覺得係只比孩子睇的,我好鍾意呀...

Of course Large Popcorn with drink

Also in Bluewater they have winter wonderland too. We went to the one in Hype Park last year and year before, pretty much the same every year so we went to Bluewater one instead. It is much smaller and less crowded. It is more suitable for children as they have ice rank and slides .
Bluewater都有。winter wonderland. 我地去年和前年都去左Hype Park 個個，每年都幾乎是相同的，所以我們去Bluewater了。佢地方比較細無咁擁擠。但比較適合兒童.
 

I love bubble tea , it is tapioca balls. They have bubbleology in Bluewater . I order Lychee fruit tea with tapioca - half sweet .. yum !
係英國珍珠奶茶唔係平又唔多地方有,Bluewater有bubbleology當然要飲番杯半甜荔枝水果茶啦

Lipstick Queen Discovery Set

When I am in the UK, my lips are quite dry. I am always after a moisturize lipstick. I have heard lipstick queen is very good for moisturize as well as good lipstick so I have bought Lipstick Queen Discovery Kit to try.
住係英國既我，嘴唇成日都好乾燥。我成日都搵緊比較滋潤的唇膏。我聽講Lipstick Queen 好滋潤，見到Discovery Kit就買試試。
 
There are three lipsticks; Medieval, Saint Pink and Sigh. They are very different colours which is great to try for different occasion. The lipsticks contain Shea butter and vitamin E great for moisturize for sure.
一盒有三個唇膏;Medieval, Saint Pink and Sigh。佢地都係好唔同既顏色，咁樣我就可以係不同的場合用喇。枝唇膏含有乳木果油和維生素E,超滋潤的。
 

Lipstick Queen Discovery Kit includes:  
Lipstick Queen Lipstick Saint Pink 3.5g 
Lipstick Queen Lipstick Medieval 3.5g
Lipstick Queen Lipstick Sigh 3.8g 

Medieval: It looks quite like a deepish red, but actually is not as deep on the lips and it is good for everyday with a pop of colour.

好似好深,老老地個隻紅.不過搽上去又唔係喎.都好岩日日用,唔NUDE有DD色,唔錯的.
















Saint Pink : Perfect for everyday look , it is like a better colour of your own lips colour. I am in love with it at the moment and been using it everyday. It has replace my Mac lipstick !

超級岩日日用,佢好似比你自己唇色但更好.我宜家日日用,代替左我枝MAC了.












Sigh: It looks way darker than you think. It will be very good for evening look. It has a hint of shimmer but very minor. If you like a heavier make up , it might also suitable for day time.

好似好深,不過其實又唔係.個人呢個比較岩晚上用,有DD閃,不過唔太覺的.如果濃妝,可能早上用都可以得.

I wish it is longer lasting than it is however it is super moisturizing which is perfect for winter. 
我好鐘意佢夠潤,不過持久力一般般但係真係超級潤岩晒冬天..

It is available in many UK store, have a look online.
係好多英國地方都有得賣,上網睇睇啦
