After nearly three years of living in and around the Goldhawk Road, I have now uprooted and moved all the way to Fulham. It might only be a few miles but now I’m no longer withing walking distance of what used to be my favourite restaurants. It was a difficult step to make. No more take aways from the Ajanta or the Damera for me. 
Of course, you can’t walk very far in any area of London without finding an enormous selection of eateries. I’ve found myself near an interesting looking Tapas bar, one of the Jim Thompson Oriental restaurants and an Indian called “Chutney Mary”.
Going in the other direction, I found more delights. A new development called “Imperial Wharf” appeared by Chelsea Harbour earlier this year and brought with it a selection of very stylish riverside restaurants. Last night I gave one of them a try.
Memsaab was quite an experience. Full review here. In short the restaurant was beautiful, the menu was exciting and original and the service was excellent. It has only been open for five months and at the moment is quiet as it is a little bit out of the way. However, when the Wharf development is complete, this place will be buzzing. I’d recommend you give it a try soon before it gets to the stage where you need to book weeks in advance.
Now that I’m (nearly) settled in my student halls for the summer, I can start the student budget experiment properly. For added authenticity I currently have nothing in the fridge, no plates and no cutlery. However I do have about £150 worth of alcohol. Everything else apart from pots and pans will be bought on the way home from a 24 hr Tesco.
I have no idea what to do so it looks like the bargain bin will be my main source of inspiration. Fingers crossed ….
