Me Old China
/G-REVIEW
Everyone loves a good Chinese; dim-sum and Peking duck, after all, are the makings of a brilliant Friday night in. That said, sometimes we crave something from the Orient that's a little more high-end - something that serves up lashing of style as well as soy sauce. Enter Royal China Baker Street, the answer to our prayers.

While its many faces mean it's not particularly easy to tell the time on, for a design this divine we're prepared to guess and hope for the best.

/G-LIST
New Year's resolutions can be sure a bore; after all, who wants to punish themselves by eating less and exercising more? Life is just too short, we say. With this in mind, we've compiled a list of resolutions with a wicked twist - and believe us, they're so much easier to stick to. Just don't take them - or 2010 - too seriously.
