We went to Las Iguanas in Westfield Stratford on Friday night to watch the opening ceremony and fireworks which was fab. The staff were great, food was delicious and they even hid some chairs out back for us so that we could sit in the prime spot by the window and watch the fireworks!
We went to see Chicago on Saturday, which was good as always. Then went went for dinner at Bincho in Exmouth Market, stopping at Cottons on the way for rum punch!
I discovered Bincho about a year ago with my friend Katie, who suggested going there as we could get 50% off food with her Taste card. As always, I loved trying new places and I'm do pleased that we went.
There are 2 restaurants, 1 in Soho and 1 in Exmouth market. They serve all their food on skewers. On sat night we had:
- tiger prawns
- pork belly
- lamb
- asparagus and bacon
- beef ribs
- chicken wings
- chicken and spring onions
All marinated with different sauces and flavours, really delicious! They also have a great specials board - we tried kimchee boiled ribs which were yum!
It was the first time that I had been to Bincho in Exmouth Market, as I'd previously been to the one in Soho. Both equally good, although one in Exmouth Market has outdoor tables and feels much bigger and lighter - guess it depends what night you're up for!
We had a fab time and got suitably merry (which included taking some wierd pictures with chopsticks - niuff said!). I can say that we weren't feeling that fresh when we had to get up at 7am the following morning for Olympic beach volleyball!
