What’s the Panda up to?

So, I’ve been out for a while. Last month I graduated with my master’s degree and have been hit by a period of post uni busy-ness. Amidst travelling around, finding my feet and catching up with life outside the uni bubble I am now back in London and ready to give this blog some much […]

Panda in May

Nottingham Hing Kee Beeston’s very own bubble tea and asian snack emporium.

The bubble waffles, […]

Panda in April

Nottingham Bunk A good snack place for chicken wing lovers but I feel like they need more inventive sauces for the chicken wings and more cocktails.

The Panda in 2017…

The last few months have been pretty hectic, trying to juggle writing my architectural thesis and blogging, thus blogging fell by the wayside… But the Panda has a solution! I have set up a new page, on the side bar (the one with the three little lines), where I’ll put all the restaurants I’ve been […]

Pizza Pilgrims, Soho [Pizza]

I have somehow missed the Pizza train in London because I’ve only ever been to Franco Manca out of all these relatively new pizza chains. I do like pizza, in fact sometimes I crave the 2am pizza binge that comes with student life but after I went to Pizza Pilgrims I finally figured out what the […]
