Evelyn’s, Manchester

Having had a slightly disastrous first day in Manchester (read this and this), I became a little skeptical about my upcoming booking at Evelyn’s for brunch.

New Yorker Diner, Manchester

When it comes to food, I am perpetually indecisive. Not because I’m a fussy eater, but the first thing that crosses my mind is: is this bloggable?, what about ‘grammable?, and will BW actually want to eat this? He has even voiced his concerns about how he can’t have a normal dinner with his wife […]

Roti King

In the words of Jay Z, I got no patience, and I hate waitin’. Thats what BW told me as we waited the longest time to be called for our table. Now I usually don’t make it a point to take BW to restaurants that don’t take bookings, maybe since the third time we tried […]

HGAT Guide to Phuket

GETTING THERE Aware of what happened on our last domestic flight, we packed lightly and headed to CNX airport. Thankfully, there were no issues and we were infact able to pack a whole 5kg more! We left CNX at 9am and arrived in Phuket International Airport (HKT) two hours later via Thai Smile airlines.

HGAT Guide to Chiang Mai

GETTING THERE Having been in BKK for a couple of days, we caught a domestic flight via Thai Lion Air to Chiang Mai (CNX) from the DMK airport. Leaving BKK at 10:15am, the entire journey took 1h15m meaning we had a whole day to spend in this relaxed city.

Romantic Restaurants in London

You’ll never guess what time of the year it is again? Nope, not Eid, and not my birthday either (although, this should be celebrated all year long), but Valentine’s day! Yay! Yes, I know we don’t do Valentine’s Day, and yes, I know everyday should be like valentines day *rolls eyes*, but I feel kind […]

Nahm, Bangkok

Do any of you have those days where you realllly question life? I have had two of them. The first was when I went on my first date with BW and after such a great day, it was time to say goodbye. I went for the wave whilst he went in for the hug, and […]

HGAT Guide to Bangkok

GETTING THERE Getting to Bangkok entails a 11.5 hour direct flight from Heathrow via British Airways and Thai Airways. As we were stopping over in Dubai for a few days on the way back, it made sense for us to fly by Emirates which involved a 2 hour stopover on the way there, so altogether […]

Cinnamon Bazaar

Since I was a young’un, I’ve always been a little slow when it came to learning languages. Mum would try her hardest to teach me the gujarati basics whilst my Dhadi would write letters in gujarati to me, both sadly to no avail, and now that I’m older, I’ve realised how important it is to preserve […]

MzuriKhana

Over the last few years of HGAT, one of the most popular questions asides from “are you fat?” (I’ll leave that to you to decide) and “what does BW stand for?” (I’ll only reveal that once someone has guessed it correctly) is “what are you?”.
