My ultimate fave has to be THE GOOD EARTH in Hendon (north london) there are other branches in Knightsbridge... but the hendon branch is epic he he he
This place is pretty expensive ...ideal for an occasion or if your looking to impress ...
To start- smoked chicken/hot and sour soup/chicken satay/tempura
Main- crispy duck/chicken and lemongrass/seabass/chilli beef/ fillet steak (cooked in a clay pot in front of you)
Finish- normally in chinese restaurants the desserts are dire ... but here you have to have the toffee apple/banana..
NEW CHINA- china town (london) On the corner of china town (2 min walk from Leicester sq tube)
Beware the bottle of wine we consumed was more expensive than all the food put together ...
The Chilli beef was a hit and all the noodle dishes oh and vegetable spring rolls

PLACES TO EAT- MOROCCAN
mmmm YALLA YALLA * Moroccan food yum yum
perfect if you are shopping on Oxford st or have friends who work in Oxford st ... this place is round the back ... 12 Winsley st ...
Very light and airy ... with benches and separate tables
my fave dishes are ...here goes.. Hummus, falafel, batata hara, fattoush and chicken Taouk.(chicken kebab)
sooo good and to finish Yalla jou jou (its like cinammon and vanilla ice cream)
MAISON TOUAREG (Moroccan and Lebanese Kitchen) 23-24 Greek st soho
http://www.maisontouareg.co.uk/
Red and dark deor ... this place is in the bustly streets of soho so ideal if you are hitting the bars or trotting down to Leicester sq after. I dont actually have much recollection from this place seeing as I had been drinking all afternoon with the x... in all bar one (leicester sq) so I was dining with the x and a friend ... weird I know .... but the food was good ...
We all shared the dishes... Chicken kebab, Fattoush, Falafel, Hummus, Cheese Pasteries and Halloumi
EL CANTARA (Moroccan and Spanish) 45 Frith St Soho
http://www.elcantara.co.uk/
The food similar to the above and yalla ... but to be honest not as good .... BUT the entertainment was good . We came here on a Friday night and there was Spanish dancing and Belly dancing .. unfortunately that was the best part of the night and the pistachio ice cream.

LONDON BARS
Like most girls I love cocktails ... recently I have experienced some great ones...in some LUXE bars ...
FOUNDATION BAR/ LANGLEY ST/COVENT G big haunt ...low lighting with seating in cave booths...
Go before 8 ... happy hour but stock up on cocktails ...the bar gets rammed ... have the Cinnamon and Apple Mojito ...
Good after work place... and so is ZEBRANO/CARNABY ST... happy hour before 8 ...grab a mojito....warning book a table otherwise expect to stand all night....
If you want to dance and laugh at the faces in this place.... YATES /LECEISTER SQ ... girls beware men come here to purposely pull and try and get a night of action ... drinks are cheapish but the wine is pretty bad so stick to malibu and pineapple or beer ... the best thing about this place is the cheesy music (80s pop rnb) and the sexz bartender Benny who has the best smile and the best arms.
If your looking for pure LUXE then go to AQUA BAR/WALDOUR ST beware very pricey but if your looking to impress this is the place ... take the mirrored lift up to the bar...order and refresh ... step out onto one of two balconies and take in London step back into Japanese eating...

The Vegetable spring rolls are a must followed by pad thai, chilli beef ...the lemon chicken is good too...
Follow up with coffees (Lavazza coffee) and a cheeky cupcake at The Humming Bird Bakery... (few doors down) the red velvet cupcakes being the best mmmm the choc brownies are amazing too...

LUXE DATES
I have had some proper luxe dates (on a boat in Hungary) and some pretty tragic ones ( a service in a french church) noo im not joking...
If your looking to take out a bella girl in London these have been my personal faves ...
Soho Date1 ... a special date for me ... because the date resulted in very special relationship with a very loving man... so...the details...
Start in the soho area...Poland street to be precise ...
UKAI SUSHI... 50 Poland Street ... ok this is perfect for a 1st date....this isnt just a typical japanese restaurant it has a DJ..woop woop ... so your thinking why would this place be ideal ... well its great if your date cant speak English and your happy to just gaze into his beautiful eyes .... the lighting is blue and dim ... it sets the mood ...especially if you met the guy in Ministry of Sound...dont ask ...
Have a glass of champagne at the bar ...or even a bottle if your lucky ladies... at the table share sushi and follow it with chicken Teriyaki mmmm ... then leave hand in hand ...walk a few doors down to AMUSE BOUCHE CHAMPAGNE BARS 21-22 Poland street ... end the night with champagne and a stroll to Trafalger Sq ... perfecto ahhh momento sensuale ...
