Silk noodles is a Chinese restaurant located in the Shanshui hotel complex. It’s hard to miss it as there is a big sign right at the entrance. Ambience wise the place is nothing to write home about which is PERFECT because it means they’re putting all their focus on the food! We got started with some chicken dumplings (KSH1,000), I didn’t know that an order of dumplings results in getting 20 of them!

Maboneng Wings and Whisky is located at Ntashart Plaza, Kilimani which also has a Sno Cream parlour for those of you who are lucky enough to not be lactose intolerant & can handle their yummy ice-cream. Maboneng Wings have a nice long selection of wings. I wanted to try a bit of everything but there’s only so many wings you can have in one sitting so it’ll force me to go back to try more.

This restaurant is one of my regular spots. I’ve spent a lot of time here over the years. If you come here in the morning the wonderful scent of freshly baked goods welcomes you and sits with you in their cosy round table booths. She may not remember this but a close friend of mine, Abigail, is the one who introduced me to this spot years ago when they had just opened.

Had a belated birthday dinner plan with a dear friend and she suggested we try out Cocoa Cafe located in Alta Towers, just opposite Yaya centre. Upon walking in you are greeted by their large neon sign and the friendly waiter by the cashier. The place is smaller than I thought but stretches out into an elevated outdoors section which is perfect for afternoon tea or happy hour which they have from 5:30-7:30 daily.
