A classic no frills burger joint located in London near Carnaby street. It was easy in and out with…read morea simplistic menu. If your looking for a cheap eat this spot will work. Sometimes you stumble upon places based on sheer starvation and not wanting to take another step. That was me today. Given all of the places I have bookmarked on Yelp I normally wouldn't just wander into the unknown but when you've been shopping and sight seeing until your feet can't go anymore, you'll end up like me just choosing the first place that looks good. This burger joint was inviting, was able to be seated right away, and staff were quick. The pros about this place are that staff are very friendly and on top of service. Was nice to dine quickly despite how busy this area can get during tourist season. As far as the restaurants theme it was a little funny the Hawaiian vibe and name. I didn't really see it aside from the decor, putting pineapple on a burger doesn't make a restaurant Hawaiian but I'll give them points for being creative with a theme that you normally wouldn't see in the UK. Once I got over the menu being more traditional fare and less "Hawaiian" it was easy to go with the traditional cheeseburger. The burger was slightly above average in terms of flavor (patty needed more seasoning) BUT I was impressed with the grilled onions and how fresh the lettuce and tomato looked. Plus I'm a sucker for Mayo and they put Mayo as a primary ingredient so I was happy. I'd say service and pricing were 5 stars and food a solid 3.5 If you want a easy and casual meal that won't break the bank this spot totally works.

Crowded at the bar but we ordered pretty quickly. Not very tacky tiki - I really like that overboard stuff and go to a tiki bar every city I go to - but a bit of a classy tiki.

It was light, not too sweet, but maybe a little too light even for my lightweight self. £39.93 total for 3 drinks.

Aston & Magill in Wimbledon is a lovely little coffee shop with tasty food, decent coffee and…read morefriendly staff. Because of an office move, I recently started exploring SW19 in search for good lunch spots. Quickly I came across Aston & Magill, a friendly and very relaxed coffee shop in Wimbledon. Unfortunately walking there takes me about 20 minutes, and in combination with somewhat slowish service, it is difficult to fit a trip down to Aston & Magill into my lunch break. However, every time I go there, it is definitely worth the effort, and who would mind to walk 40 minutes on a sunny day? The place looks beautiful and simple - it does not try to be something it is not, it's just a lovely neighbourhood coffee with high-quality food and pretty good coffee. Once I had a chicken and bacon sandwich, that tasted as delicious as it sounds. Another time I had the pasta with tomato and bacon sauce, also a very tasty dish. When you are lucky, you can even get the single table outside in the afternoon sun. While I do not like the metal table and chair - the wooden furniture inside is much nicer - having lunch in the sun is too good to be put off by a table and a chair. Aston & Magill is definitely one of those places that I just liked as soon as I walked in. Staff are friendly and funny, and the quality of the food is great. They could be a bit quicker though. At my first visit, I've also noticed that I probably need to get used to hanging out outside of central London - while I was sitting outside, a girl, most likely an arts student, dropped some drawings on the empty chair at my table outside and asked me if I could watch her stuff for a few minutes. Later she came back, picked her drawings up and walked away. Fascinating that people in Wimbledon seem to trust complete strangers on the street - most likely a good sign that speaks for this neighbourhood.

Since the two closest locations to me are both at least a five hour flight away, I had figured maybe I wasn't going to see one anytime soon. When I was recently in London it dawned on me that there was a location there. Bingo! A Trader Vic's experience had been obtained. Maybe I should have got a Mai Tai since that's what they're famous for. Instead I got a Bahia, and it was pleasant and refreshing. Not the best tiki drink I've had but not the worst either. I also got the veggie spring rolls, which were alright. The decor was obviously up to standards, but honestly the whole restaurant felt very corporate. I'm not sure what else I should have expected, since they're a very well known chain with spots all over the world. It just lacked the soul that most other tiki bars seem to have. Also I had a lot of sticker shock when it came to the price, because the cheapest and weakest drinks are still £12/$15.50, so having more than one or two might break your bank. This was an okay experience. I'm still curious if the other locations bear any similarities to this one, so in the future when I get the chance I'll compare those as well. At the very least you'll get a tasty drink in a silly mug.

For the more leisurely visit, start with sea bream ceviche or go the vegan route Vegetable Lumpia (has nuts). As it was lunch for me, I began with an Ube Latte to drink which was tasty, but you could go for weeks trying various teas: Lemon Verbena, Turmeric Chai, Paradise Punch. And that's only a launching point to the World Beers and Handcrafted Cocktails portion of the menu. The more adventurous will try Batangas Bad Boy (10 year Talisker) or Boracay Dreams (rum, Malibu, coconut cream). But I needed to have a productive second-half of the day, so next time for those. On to the main course. I normally would be all over the "all-time favorite" Pork Hock, but as it was later in the travel week I opted for sea bass. It was a solid choice. The pandan leaf wrap locked in the moisture and flavor, and the soy lime dressing was definitely not for the faint of spicy-heart without adding rice. The noodles looked excellent at the table nearby, picking between chicken, shrimp, vegan, even sardines. Since I needed to be awake for some meetings, dessert wasn't an option this time, but the Banana Turon fritters would fit the bill nicely. Service was friendly and prompt, while still allowing time to dwell and savor. I'll schedule a return on a Friday to enjoy tapas "journey of Filipino flavours".
