The Real Greek, 60 - 62 Long Acre, Covent Garden, London

To start with let me say this place is good food for value. Especially if you are into mediterranean cuisine you'll like it. As a beginner to greek cuisine I can't tell whether the dishes taste traditional but anyways they taste great. You can really feel that the ingredients used are fresh fresh!
In the picture you see Cretan Meal Deal, you choose couple of mezes and a main. Enjoy sharing!

After all I think a-la-carte items should be a little more cheaper. If you were to order meze individually they cost around 3-4 each. So you feel obligated to choose the sharer to get more value but then again the sharer options are limited to cheaper menu items.
I would still go there to try other dishes.

In my second visit I tried Soutzouki Souflaki; spicy beef sausage on flatbread topped with tzatziki. Intense taste and aroma but don't worry not that spicy plus yoghurt topping helps tone it down.

My third, fourth and ...visits followed as I got addicted to this place. Steamed baby potatoes are tasty and the red wine is fine. What I like about this place the most is manager Roman, such a fun guy! He must be tired as his restaurant is busy pretty much the whole time but he never shows. He is always cheerful and willing to have a few words with you :)

Tas Restaurant, 22 Bloomsbury St, London, WC1B 3QJ

My first Turkish restaurant visit in the UK. More to come!
The long and feastish lunch began with the starters (mezes). Honestly I didn't like any of them. When I see the dishes I could tell what they are but then they taste totally different than what I normally expected! As for the main, I chose Hunkar Begendi (lamb on a creamy-aubergine sauce). That is one of my favourites in turkish cuisine. Here the sauce was well prepared however the meat, I couldn't eat...I could never know that I would forget all about my disappointment in the main dish by the time I had my first bite of the dessert. Baklava was alright. But the chestnut and cream was a blast! It's a retouch to the chestnut candy; lighter and still full taste. As you can see in the picture, the display is also nice huh?
I will try some other main dish before a final verdict :)

Dim T, 2 More London Place, Tooley Street, London, SE1 2DB

Again a chain restaurant..
Location is lovely, if you get a window seat you could enjoy the view of Tower Bridge, cool!
Atmosphere is informal and elegant. Little dim at night though..
As a main I enjoyed my prawn sweet coconut rice noodles. Probably the tastiest and most filling noodle ever!
As a dessert we had fruit and marshmallow chocolate fondue, you can never be wrong about chocolate :=) Though I never had marshmallows before in my life, my friends were so nice not to make fun about it :))
The washroom is cleannn. Haha they also followed this invisible-door trend I see nowadays. Although it may seem like a brown wall, if you are lucky you can discover the door before it's too late :P They also play good music in there ;)
Prices are also moderate, worths a visit!

Hummus Bros, Victoria House 37-63 Southampton Row, WC1B 4DA, London

First of all this place is innovative in the sense that they use hummus which is usually a side dish as a base for mains (veggies, chicken, beef etc.). The hummus is a little creamy than I expected and it comes with a medium piece of pitta bread which is usually enough.
Chunky beef is my favorite along with mushrooms. Can't wait to try the guacamole next time! Though I don't understand why they treat tzatziki as a topping for mains rather than as a side dish...
One negative comment for the menu is for tabouleh and baklava, both are very dry.
Aloe vera juice is energizing, love it!
They bring complimentary salad/dessert and mint tea which is a lovely treat :)
Great value for money.

Ping Pong Dim Sum, 45 Great Marlborough Street, Soho, London W1F 7JL

Waow waow waow! What a great dinner!

Totally packed on a saturday night, luckily we had reservation for our group. The atmosphere is humble for its elegant décor.
This place eliminated the one big problem in chinese retaurants i.e ordering the right thing on the menu, by giving out a card where you mark the buns you want.
The dough covering the steamed buns is almost see-through, very thin which without stuffing your stomach with carbohydrates makes you feel full.

Vegetarian sticky rice parcels are wrapped with bamboo leaves, very light and fragrant.
The only feature that the place lacks is the chinese wheel-type tables. They have round tables alright but it doesn't help much if you ordered 15 boxes of buns and that there are 6 people trying to reach them :)
The prices are reasonable for such high quality food. Definitely going there again!
