My first visit to a 5 star hotel’s restaurant in Central London… Called the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park.

Amazing service for two reasons…

Thats how it is in the Park

and it was the Pastry Chef’s birthday

So we ordered our starters and the main course…

In addition to the Chinese Spring Rolls, The French Asparagus Salad, The Thai PakThai, The Indonesian Nasi Goreng which we ordered, kitchen made some “not on the menu” dishes only for us… The Arabic Pita Bread with Humus, and the Chinese Dimsums… very interesting food this was…

And I was asking Abhishek to tell me the best dessert in his kitchen, and when we checked for desserts we were told that we cannot order it because the kitchen had prepared something for us… again not on the menu… So we had something made of Hazelnut cream, black berries, strawberries, raspberries, blue berries, and choux… suppa duppa…

Thanked the people around for the amazing dinner and then walked to Piccadilly for my so far favorite club in London, the Strawberry Moons… the inhouse DJ plays amazing music and even with my very limited knowledge of songs I enjoyed the beats that make you move… and to add to icing on the cake, he played Summer of ’69, Jump, You Give Love a Bad Name, Wake me up before you go, Grease and a few more that I knew…

and now time for the highlight of the night… Picture this..

A platform for pole dance…

lovely young women dancing there (no these were not performers, these were the guests at the club who could do their 30 seconds or minutes to fame)

and my friend Abhishek decides to enjoy his birthday doing some pole dance with a girl there… comes down of there after 15 minutes and then is dragged up again by a blonde who literally takes all his clothes off doing the pole dance with him… So my dear friend cheers the crown up with some topless dancing for sometime and becomes an instant celebrity !!! This should be good for a birthday 😀

And we left only when the music stopped which would have been around 0300 hrs…
