Ladyboys of Bangkok Custom House Square Belfast 2016 - Best Dressed Socials

The Lady Boys are officially back in town so naturally the Belfast social scene has flocked to Custom House Square to enjoy one of the best acts to grace Belfast.  The Lady Boys is always a excuse to wear your most dramatic looks and the crowd didn't disappoint this year.  The First night which I attended was exclusive for Northern Ireland's top bloggers, media and socialites.

Local Talent and  Entertainer Titti Von Tramp rivalled the acts on stage with this amazing sequined dress and legs that dont stop.

Louise Vance mixed classic with showgirl in this sophisticated look with some added glam in the form of her glitzy top.

Denise Robinson was winter chic in a cosy chunky jumper in a all white look.  The brown boots give this look a cute country twist.

John Gerard did sexy in a sheer bodysuit and skin tight jeans his bling necklace was very appropriate for the event.  Neil Coogan was giving us all kinds of male model vibes in a layered look, I especially loved his wide collared navy coat which added a different dimension to his all black look.

Derek Dubery and Lisa CB matched in all black everything.  Dereks faux fur coat with large brooch was statement although I liked how he kept the look classic by keeping it all the the same colour.  Lisas wide cuffs and diamante detailing were very glamours paired with a statement necklace.

Oversized winter coats is one of my favourite trends each season.  The sisters stylishly matched with their statement winter warmers.  Emer Dorris looked like a elegant movie star in her stand out white faux fur coat with always on trend stripe detailing where as Megan Dorris was city ready in her girl about town over sized coat, I especially adored her patent boots adding texture to the look.

Danielle McCrea wore beautiful blush and neutral tones which complemented her fair hair.  Her statement hat and lace up boots gave her look a more quirky edge.

Gemma Garret wore the most flattering jeans.  I told her personally on the night she had the best bottom of the show when she was dragged on stage for some audience involvement.  You can never go wrong with a black stiletto heel .  Gemma kept it simple and added a wow over sized bag to upgrade her look.

Kim Kelly and Stephanie Loughrey were ready to paint the town read in body con fitted dresses which emphased their perfect curves.


Emily Hancock wore her trademark over sized hat and embraced the country heritage trend which is huge this season.  Burgundy is also very popular at the min and I loved how she matched her scarf to lip colour.  

The Lady Boys new cabaret inspired show “Forever Yours is in its 18th season.  They performed a whole host of musical numbers including some of the nation’s most loved tunes.  Guests  will be refreshed with a full bar and can enjoy authentic Thai cuisine courtesy of the Sabai Pavillion’s resident chef, at their fantastic Custom House Square location.  The show runs until Saturday 19th November and tickets are available from the Belfast Welcome Centre on 028 9024 6609 or alternatively online at www.ladyboysofbangkok.co.uk

The Meadow Restaurant Enniskillen

If you live under a rock and haven't heard of The Meadow which is taking Enniskillen by storm then in summery it is a fantastic restaurant which uses local produce to create delicious well proportioned meals at a reasonable price.  The staff are well presented, helpful and polite which is very important to me.

On top of generally being well priced they also do these great themed nights such as Wednesday steak night, Sunday set menu and Italian Thursdays.  Every night you can either go by the set menu or choose from the on going regular menu which is great for a group of people with various tastes,  In a nutshell you will always find something for everyone.

As a big lover of Italy I was so excited when I seen the Italian night advertised that I straight away invited my sister blogger from Printed Skull Ink to come along with me for a girly night of sampling. We love any excuse to eat everything.


On a little side note I personally love when a restaurant provides a menu online before you attend, firstly because you are sure you will like something and do not want to waste your time secondly because it saves time knowing what your going to order when you arrive.  So if any restaurant owners or managers read this get on it.  

First up of course has to be the cocktails.  My sister doesn't drink so it was good to see they had a range of mock-tails for her to try.  They serve all the classics but have also created a few of their own. Donna ordered the daiquiri were as I opted for a custom made cocktail.  Presentation was flawless as you can see.
Me and my sister share food because we are adorkable like that so we ordered the salmon and the antipasto al italiano.  Both were served cold and the mix of textures and flavors really did it for us.  The size of the starter was amazing as we discussed how we have had smaller mains for double the prize in other local restaurants.
Yes we ordered three mains.  Dont judge us but we just couldn't decide and we could have definitely ordered more.  Its safe to say leftovers were taken home for the doggy and boyfriend. If your a cheese fan you have to try the Gnocchi Al Quattro Formaggi. Four different cheeses all blended together to make the most delicious dish I have ever had. We also had the Penne Al Salmone Killybegs smoked salmon , as a sauce lover I really appreciated the rich flavor with the crispy veg. Lastly we had the Pollo Al Funghi which again came with a creamy sauce which in my opinion made the whole dish come together perfectly.


 

Now time for the most important part.  The dessert.  Im not sure if this was on the menu but they were more than happy to give us a trio of desserts, Im not a fan of sticky toffee pudding but I loved this one, it was gooey in all the right places.  The chocolate fondant was soft, creamy and heavenly. lastly I had a mini creme brulee and Donna had the cheesecake both were a nice milder taste which made a good mix on the plate.

All in all The Meadow has just got to be one of my favorite places to eat.  I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.  Please pop over and give them a like!
