Colindaleâ¬"s loss is W2â¬"s gain.

The relocation of this Oriental supermarket to Queensway is nothing short but welcoming. Despite being a quarter size of the original in North London, this place is still well stocked with all the right stuff for the 21st century cooking enthusiast. In addition to the usual presence of fresh Oriental vegetables, exotic sauces, tinned food, spices, pot noodles, etc; a wet fish counter and a section offering ready prepared Chinese and South East Asian dishes for your microwave oven should be up and running soon.

If youâ¬"re in the vicinity next, either with or without any home cooking aspirations, grab a can or bottle of A&W root beer. (This delicious soft drink is a legacy left in Malaysia by an American chain of fast-food restaurants famous for the draught version).

Oriental City is the Asian mimesis of the great Lebanese Green Valley Supermarket off Edgware Road.

Food Inc is basically a fancy looking food store which has been broken into departments and spread along the centre of the ground floor of Whiteleys in Bayswater. I had a browse through one evening before heading upstairs to Le CafÃ© Anglais for dinner.

If you lived in the area it would certainly be a classy place to pick up some food for dinner on your way home, or for that weekend dinner party.

There was a good range of dry goods and fresh produce on offer - everything from gourmet chocolates, and wines from around the world, to freshly made pasta, fruit & veg, cheeses, and delicious looking aged steaks. They even had a range of cupcakes though they didn't tempt me on this occasion.Food Inc is basically a fancy looking food store which has been broken into departments and spread along the centre of the ground floor of Whiteleys in Bayswater.

This must be my most favourite cafe in London. First of all, the actual coffee is delicious. Secondly, I just love the place - it looks like it was furnished in 10 minutes - which is really cool, simple, old-looking tables and chairs, and funky random pictures. A place that feels creative and where you can be creative.

Never eaten there, so can't comment on the food.

The only thing I would improve is the service - It happened to me one or two times that the staff looked like they couldn't be bothered - but hey, maybe just a bad day!
