Wine, Chinese Cuisine and A Shoot at Lotos Inn & Suites

I returned to Lotos Inn & Suites for lunch and a fun shoot with my friend, fashion blogger, Vonette Orinda. I enjoyed myself the last time we were there for lunch at The Garden Restaurant & Bar and wanted to experience the rest of the hotel.

The Executive Suite is 2 bedrooms and is Ksh 19,000 per night.

Parkview Suite

My room was on the 5^th floor of the hotel and it was well worth it because the view from the glass elevator shows off the beautiful décor of the  hotel. I got to experience the Parkview Suite and enjoyed my room. The suite has all the amenities you require in a room, but my favourite thing is the view of the Oshwal tennis court and I spent quite a bit of time on the balcony enjoying it and the wine from the mini bar.

The Garden Restaurant & Bar

The Garden Restaurant & Bar is on the 6^th floor of the hotel . As I had mentioned in my last review, they serve mostly Chinese cuisine, though they do also offer continental dishes. They updated the menu and I must say it’s a large one, so picking what to have for lunch was a bit of task, though a fun one. Since I had a date, Vonette and I were able to pick a variety of dishes, which is one of the reasons I love Chinese cuisine as it’s made to share. We had the lamb ribs, gong  bao chicken, spicy tofu and vegetable rice and washed it all down with wine.

The Shoot

I was there for a fun shoot and it was a way to challenge myself in the new year especially as my birthday approached. It was definitely a challenge but it was a good time and I gained a lot of shoot experience. I’m really excited about debuting my vlog and kicking off this exciting chapter of my creative life.
