Admittedly, I’ve been an uber-lazy Qyper lately. But man-o-man, Benito’s Hat definitely required some reviewing goodness. Perhaps I’ve never properly expressed my extreme love for some fine Mexican (food), but Benito’s makes one mighty burrito and I’ve been dreaming about it since our first encounter. I can’t believe I haven’t been there earlier - I supposed that timing is everything in such relationships. Benito’s -- I heart you!

With a great location on Marylebone High Street, Coco Momo is one of those places that was designed for success: somewhat yuppy decor plus reasonably good food and plenty of drink options. Spent a delightful late afternoon lunch here over the weekend with a friend and found pretty much everything satisfactory. They seated us more quickly than expected, giving the two of us rock-star seating in the corner couch, even though it was probably easier for them to give the group who came in afterwards this prime location. The service was really good, attentive, but not too much so. I had a delicious steak sandwich but my friend was lukewarm about the beetroot risotto. However, all was forgotten after sharing a pretty good bottle of red from their list.

My first time at Vapiano last week thanks to a recommendation of my German flatmate. I have to admit, I like the concept even if it is a German chain serving up Italian food.
Upon entry, they hand you are card to charge all your food and drink to. Upon exit, you pay for the damage. It was really quite busy when we dropped by, considering it was a Thursday evening (not the type of place I imagine people hanging out but clearly I was wrong). The food is made (sort of) fresh in front of you and the service was quite friendly. Overall a good experience, and probably a pretty darn good option for lunch. If you can fit it in, the dessert is worth a splurge.

Dropped by for some beers and was pleasantly surprised. I rarely go out in the Holborn area since I’m lazy, but found the trek worth it. I’m a fan of Sam Smith’s pubs in general, as they do some pretty decent brew. However, the ambience of the place -- the cavernous rooms and the giant barrels (not to mention the triangular fireplace) -- make it a cool place to hang. There was an oddly high concentration of French speakers when I was there, and would be curious if they were regulars.
Food is not great, but I don’t think you go there for the cuisine.

I like the Heathrow Express for its speed and convenience to my place. Nothing beats getting from Heathrow to home in under 30 minutes. However, I think about 1/4 times I’ve been on it, it has had some sort of issue that made the ride about 25-30 minutes, which really takes away from the value. I feel they should really offer at least a partial refund in those cases.
At one point, I was taking HEX so often that I bought myself a carnet of 12 rides online to get the reduced price so that I could print out my ticket at home. However, to my dismay, the bar code image in the email went away after about two months and I was left with an email with a broken image! Luckily, customer service was smart enough to reissue my carnet without any hassle. What was silly, however, is that he told me the image would be broken again soon, so he told me to either keep my printout around for the remainder of my rides (unlikely) or print out X number of copies of the email to keep around (more unlikely). I think next time, I’m going the mobile route. D’oh!
