20-min Thai craving = SORTED 🍳🌶️

No chopping, no stress, just proper Pad Kra Pao at home.
I used the @theicekitchen Thai Chilli Basil stir-fry paste (PAD KRA PAO), threw in mince + whatever veg I had, basil, fried egg on top, done.

So flavourful, a little spicy, and so quick. Served with jasmine rice, cucumber, carrots + that crispy fried egg.

@theicekitchen’s NEW stir-fry pastes are launching at @ocado soon from October! 🌶️🔥 Perfect for those quick, flavour-packed meals when you’re craving something delicious without the fuss.

Would you try this easy Pad Kra Pao at home? 👇😍

A little gem in Notting Hill 🦞✨ Lobster lovers this one for you! 💕

We had the loveliest weekend lunch at @lushandhush.london in Notting Hill and their “Half Becomes Whole” offer is such a good one! 🥂🦞

Order any cocktail, wine or Champagne & your Half Lobster gets upgraded to a Whole Lobster! 😍

The classic lobster linguine was SO good, fresh, succulent and absolutely delicious! We got to see the lobster live and fresh right in front of us before it was prepared, which made the whole experience even more special. We also tried their lobster roll, which was incredible and packed with that gorgeous, fresh lobster flavour. Definitely a highlight! 😍🦞✨

And the wagyu, honestly, SO soft and tender! 🥹🥩 Every bite was delicious, especially the wagyu skewers and mini sando.

Such a cosy, intimate spot, with live music in the evenings too. 🥰 And the staff were genuinely so lovely and caring. Definitely one I’ll be coming back to! ❤️✨
