The Golden Cosmic Egg - Andrew Logan

If you're looking for something to do over Easter, why not join the biggest Easter egg hunt organized by UK jeweller Fabergé?


200 eggs have been specially designed by artists and designers, such as Andrew Logan, Vivienne Westwood and Mark Quinn etc. for the occasion. They will be expertly hidden (during Lent), somewhere in one of the 12 zones of London and you have to find them.

Angel Hatching - Anita Klein

With maps, clues and descriptions of the eggs at your disposal, all you have to do is find one, text its unique keyword to 80001, and, you will automatically be entered into a competition, where a special Diamond Jubilee Egg worth $100,000 British pounds, is the prize.

Union Jack - Mark Shand

Also, The Big Egg Hunt is aiming to break the current Guinness World Record title for: the most participants in an Egg hunt.

wOL - Rebecca Sutherland

Once over (March 20), all the eggs will be auctioned off for charity.
Fancy joining in? For more details visit The Big Egg Hunt.

Easy Roast!

On a recent visit to England, I spotted this intriguing combi on offer in the pet food aisle of Sainsburys Supermarket, in Richmond, London. 


Ok chaps, we're all aware of how hard the economic recession is hitting everybody, but I think your marketing division should have a rethink as to the message you're sending by this placement of the Bako Easy Roast bags!

Wagamama

Wagamama started out at Streatham Street, London, England in 1992, and has since then grown into a chain with shops the world over.

The interior of the Groningen branch, is sharp and clean as far as interior design and colour goes. The walls are neutral, the visible kitchen area (where one can watch the chefs hard at work) is silver and the back wall has a large red and yellow graphic mural design painted on it showing a figure eating hungrily from a bowl. We were greeted by friendly staff, dressed in red and black, with the Wagamama logo on a red T-shirt.

This is fast food with a twist. The philosophy behind the food is ‘positive eating and positive living’, where preparation times range from 5-10 minutes without detracting from the freshness, quality and taste of the food.

I tried Duck Gyoza, a side dish of fried dumplings filled with duck and leek with a Hoi Sin sauce and accompanied by a glass of wine. The simplicity of this delicious dish was pleasantly surprising, as was the presentation. The menu included a variety of dishes with noodles (their speciality) and some very healthy fresh juice combinations.
