Blog kept alive by D and Vivi. Let’s keep this short and sweet. It might not be at all obvious……
We like love food.
First up it’s me, Vivi. I would like to say I’m the most sensible person out there, unfortunately that’s not the case. Am too passionate about eating, baking and now having a dabble at cooking too. I love watching adverts, especially Christmas ones because I’m a Christmas fanatic. I heart beauty products, travelling, cute things and shopping. In short, I love a lot of things. Oh, and photography too. Oh, and the sun, I love the sun for the warmth. But I like the cold too, so I can wear scarves. Current project is: To find real cheap eats in London.
And now me, D. I’m 22, fifth year medic, at Imperial. In a brief overview, I am fanatical about football and suffer a weekly anxiety attack over who to transfer into my fantasy football team. I know, I get it. It’s not real. But I’m competitive, GIRL POWER! Yeah… I use most of my waking time thinking about my next meal, and trying my hardest to find the best eats around London without breaking my bank. But being a foodie is never cheap, and being a girl foodie – double fail. Macarons? Cupcakes? Doubles yes please. I like to be visually pleased, so my expectations in photography and art are HIGH. One day I will own a DSLR. Hopefully with my first pay cheque (IN TWO YEARS TIME!) I like food though, but that was to be assumed since I write here. AND MINIMALISM IS KEY!
Hi guys, stumbled upon your blog while searching for reviews on Baozi Inn… gotta say, i love food too and I love your restaurant reviews…keep it up!!!
There is a NY food blog that I read every now and again called Midtown lunch… but I think you guys are probably one of the 1st to do a UK ok…anyway, I’m a fan!
Oh an I went to IC myself, and I too, like you, spend all my money on food! You guys been to Yautcha yet? Dim Sum venture by Alan Yau … oh and Arbutus is serving great food this time of year..try it!
Hahaha! Thanks for reading our blog! Oh, could i have the link to midtown lunch in NY? I love reading about food blogs, especially ones with photos!
No we havn’t been to Yauatcha for dim sume yet…..too pricey…..but we bought macarrons from there and they were marvellous!
How did you like Boazi Inn?
I came across this blog whilst researching Baozi Inn as well

Unfortunately I’m an Arsenal fan, but hey, I’m just happy that Cesc Fabregas is the man of the moment for Euro 2008!

hi ladies,
i stumbled across your blog by randomly clicking on the comments you posted on londoneaters blog. I do like how your blog focuses specifically on chinese cuisine (which embarassingly enough I know very little about despite being chinese) Keep up the good work.

Allo, allo!
Right then, who’s stalking me? G? D? Both? or is D stalking G?
Sorry for hijacking your posts ladies! Thanks for reading the site…it’s not all expensive.
It’s like a good winelist, there are the premium vintages, but if you look carefully, there are some real finds too.

Hi D and Vivi,
I’m Ele, and I’m on the eCommerce team at Square Meal (squaremeal.co.uk). Whilst getting to know the Square Meal world and website, I’ve been looking at the input of bloggers, who link their personal blogs to restaurant pages on our website.
I’ve come across your blog and have really enjoyed reading about your foodie experiences. I’d like to invite you to link your blog to the Square Meal restaurant review.
For our users, it is so useful to have easy access to other diners’ experiences, to help them choose a dining venue. Including a link to your blog on our website will increase traffic to your blog.
The Square Meal website has over half a million visits and 2.5 million page-views each month, so there’s great potential for people to click through to your blog.
Linking is really easy. To add a blog review to Square Meal;
• Visit http://www.squaremeal.co.uk
• Search for the restaurant and visit its Square Meal page
• Click on the Blog reviews tab (where all blogs appear)
• Select Find out how
• Copy the HTML link of the Square Meal badge (we provide a few so choose which you prefer) and past it into your blog post. Please ensure that you do this in HTML view
The eCommerce team then approves the blog link and your review (and ability to link directly to your blog) will appear on Square Meal within the week.
It would be great if you would try out linking to us as we’re so excited about this feature.
If you have any questions or suggestions about the blog link or about how we can improve your experience, please do get in touch – via email (eleanor@squaremeal.co.uk), phone, Facebook or Twitter.
Best wishes
