On our last night in London, we treated ourselves to a nice dinner at Aquashard, a contemporary restaurant on the 31st floor of the Shard, the tallest building in EU. It was much louder than I expected - very lively, crowded bar/restaurant. Floor to ceiling windows showcased the beautiful city of London. Food was surprisingly good as well. I enjoyed my roasted...

I visited Shibui for their $25 Summerlicious dinner.

Ume Yuzu Mojito - very refreshing from the shiso leaf, love the yuzu flavor; alcohol wasn't strong! To...
