Return to London! A Quick, Decadent Weekend…
London has my heart. It was the first European city I ever visited. I fell in love instantly, and I shall never fall out of love. (As Samuel Johnson said to Boswell in 1777: “when a man is tired of London…he is tired of life!”)

Honeydew Melon, Pearl Tapioca, and Coconut Milk Soup
