Happy Waitangi Day at the Bison and Bird

Ok, so Waitangi Day was actually on 6th February and I just didn't get round to blogging about it. TNT Magazine were offering everyone who downloaded a voucher a free drink to celebrate Waitangi Day the Bison and Bird in Clapham.

You can see from the size of the glass that it was not a small free drink. It was a Feijoa based cocktail and I'll be honest, it tasted a bit odd. But you never know until you try these things.

I liked the bar itself, especially this strange antler chandelier. There was also some live music, not sure if the singers were from New Zealand or not though.

Mongolian Grill

The Mongolian Grill is an awesome restaurant near Clapham Common.  You have a hot plate in the middle of the table and you can choose to either have an all you can eat grill or hotpot for about £13.

We chose the grill option and the waitress came over to give us a demonstration of the grill and gave us some rules:

- Make sure that the food is cooked right through before you eat it.

- Keep your raw food on a separate plate to your cooked food.

- Don't forget to collect some dipping sauces from the buffet.

The buffet

It was a lovely evening. And I discovered that my friend Jeremie has actually been to Mongolia! It's not every day you meet someone who's been on holiday there, and even less often a friend you've known for 2 years :)
