On a Quest for a Perfect Meal - Borrowed

Hello Loviessss,

Hope the weekend was great? I was meant to do this post last week but work got the better part of me.

So two weekends ago i met up with my darling friend Peju who I haven't seen in ages. We were both close to tears when we finally got to see each other. Work and Lagos generally has a way of making you forget the important things and people who you've shared good times and not so good times with.  

She is an amazing entrepreneur  who inspires me so much. She runs a successful catering/bakery business; I Luv Desserts, has a blog www.theservicecriticng.wordpress.com and also an amazing wife and mother of two. Well done girl. 

Her blog is centered around reviewing restaurants, hotels, spas, and scoring them on layout, ambience, quality of food, customer service, value for money etc. 

Anyways she invited me on one of her journeys on a quest for a perfect meal. 
We both couldn't decide whether we wanted to splurge or save on the meal but we finally thought to go 'in between' and we ended up at Talindoes on Karimu Ikotun off Akin-Adesola Victoria Island Lagos.

We had Chicken alla parmingiani with mashed potatoes and pasta arabiatta.

I am not the food critic but i learnt a lot from her and below is my score card


MY SCORE CARD

Layout/Ambience/Aesthetics- 8

Quality of Food-8

Customer Service-9

Value for Money-8


The only downside for me was their POS wasn't working so we had to leave and find the nearest ATM to withdraw cash before eating. 

Please check out her blog- www.theservicecriticng.wordpress.com.

Thanks for always reading.

xoxo.

  1. Love your top stylefash and your friend's top too. Talindoes is a really nice place. Very quiet and lovely ambience. But anytime i go there, it feels like its just for diplomats.
