The big two one was last weekend (though it seems like forever ago) and while I can't say I feel I different on the inside hitting the legal age in all countries, I can say I do feel different on the outside. Fat to be exact. Being the type of person I am, one would expect that armed with wadloads of red packets from relatives I'd shop until I dropped but in fact it all ended up being spend on food. Lots of it. It turned into one long food fest (resulting in a food coma by Sunday night) including visits to Jamie's Italian, Flying Fajita Sistas for dinner with my work friends, Le Renaissance Patisserie, Ms G's and finishing with a family Chinese banquet. Having worked weekends in retail for the last two years of my life, my aim was to take advantage of my time off (can't stress enough to you how rare an occurrence this is) and make my birthday as instagram-able as possible for you all. Hope I didn't disappoint.

  1. You didn't! I want to try all those places you visited, I think money spent on food experiences is money well spent!
