Oblix Restaurant, The London Shard. Inspired by NY, on 32nd floor.

Food:
Mac n Cheese- One of the best mac n cheese I've ever had Period. The flavour, simple yet very tasty, cheese stringy but not way too much and crisp to perfection.
Drink- Forgot the name of the drink was recommended by the beautiful waitress, it had a lot of tomatoes and peach in it. Overall not too bad but not good as well, but for the money I paid definitely one of the worst. I mean seriously I paid 12.5 pounds for it that comes around 2000 Pkr which is a lot of money.

Atmosphere:
One word Amazing. Dining in the Western Europe's Tallest building, with the life of london below you, dim lights and light new york inspired music. Loved it, definitely somewhere I'd take a date during the non-rush hours. The seating was great, given that it was a cross between a bar and restaurant( In my opinion). The thing which made it even better were the waitresses, Oh my god, they had one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, literally have dined in a lot of places but this is was on another level. :D The only thing I didn't like were a group of finance brokers sitting behind me, talking loudly- very loudly.

Service:
Perfection. They take your coat, make digital reservations and take you to your seat just like how a decent restaurant should be. The food was right on time, and just how I liked it.

Was it worth it? For the view alone it is, found it's view better than Duck and Waffle (Highest Restaurant in UK) given the Shard's location.

Lastly, you need to be dressed smartly in order to get in. No gym clothes or hoodies allowed.

You may be right because i haven't tried Burger king in Pakistan so can't tell what do we get here in Khi/Pakistan
one of room mate came from UK he is was telling me Dubai has all the chains we have in UK plus the serving size is Big from UK over here
I told him it may be the Sheikh effect as they and ppl of our region have bigger appetite then ppl in west

Any good places for Chapal kababs in Islamabad?

I went to Sufi Restaurant (Peshawar Mor) the other day with a few colleagues. The Chapal kabab they served was bigger than my hand. It was filling as one kabab was enough per person and it was tasty but the flavour felt a bit drab. Not very flavoursome, in other words.

I'm looking for something that's a bit more spicy yet sweet. Like the ones they make in Mardan and Peshawar.

Haagen Dazs London-One of the best ice-creams I've ever had. I had this in their Leicester Square restaurant, had to wait 30 minutes to get a seat though. Anyhow as soon as I sat down I was given a free mini-scoop of their new flavour which was amazing. This mega-tasting that I ordered had 16 mini scoops (4 for each flavour), cookies, brownies, fresh fruit and a bowl of melted milk chocolate which was constantly kept warm. Everything tastes amazing with chocolate doesn't it :D. Loved every bit of it, every fruit was super fresh, however didn't enjoy the brownies much, they were a little dry for my taste. Ice-cream was amazing, service was great and so was the ambiance. This costed 22 GBP.
A must try for everyone who visits London.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
