west.end.london

your original plan for tonight was going to pilates, but a phone call change the plan of the night.  your ex-colleague or rather your ex-manager called and a plan is set for dinner.

 meeting at piccadilly circus.... the happening place in the west end

 and the neon light. it's been awhile since you last set your foot here...

 dinner on him at a parisan style brasseries just at the corner of piccadilly circus or rather the edge of soho

 it's much bigger than you thought, the food is very reasonable, or even cheap in your opinion for london standard.... you weren't hungry and since you can locate a main course salad on the menu, you settled with the fixed price menu...

 carrot salad as starter

 and the minced steak as main, it comes with french fries... the food is certainly not bad and nothing more you would expect for the price of the menu.... the highlight was the bottle of 2010 chablis white wine and that costs more than the meal.  you had a great conversation, mostly about the past and occasionally touching on the current business. not too bad especially when the dinner was paid for ^^.

when you parted with him, you just swing through china town to grab something. and china town is very charming at the late hour, the shops are still open, chinese new year music playing on the background, very festive on the 3rd day of chinese new year.
