An Introduction to the “He Who Knows” Challenge

Just like my mate, Ben, we’ve both been challenged by a colleague at a common former employer of ours. This mutual colleague of ours has spent a fair amount of time in London, and going by the moniker, ‘He Who Knows’, has requested the following:

I submit a challenge to you young Kua. I would like a Kua-rating on the following.

  • The hot chocolate at Amato.
  • The espresso at Bar Italia.
  • The G&T at the Finsbury Circus Lawn Bowls club.
  • The little Italy Long Island Iced Teas.
  • The Conran restaurants.
  • The extension to the British Library.
  • The new Baltic Exchange.
  • The Kua newspaper of choice.
  • The pret-a-manger experience.
  • The Leadenhall fishmonger.
  • The Boro markets.
  • The Evensong at Southwick cathedral.

Can you succeed where others have failed ?

Not one to back down from a challenge, I intend on properly getting around to all of the places and giving them the proper review. There are no guarantees on how fast I’ll get around to doing these, but I can assure you that each one will be appropriately reviewed in due time. Watch this space.

    Good man.

    […] My brother has a friend (”He Who Knows”) who challenged him to give the Kua-rating on a number of experiences to be had in London. One of the experiences was The Conran Restaurants. Conran Restaurants are synonymous with fine dining and as anyone knows there are a LOT of Conran Restaurants to choose from so my brother had a bit of a challenge just narrowing it down to even one. He thought that there are actually not a lot of English fine dining experiences in London so today we ended up at Butlers Wharf Chop House which is known for making the best of British ingredients.
