The One restaurant

Chinese fusion restaurant The One is located in Botley Road, Oxford is a short walk from the train station (opposite direction from Oxford town centre)  We ate there twice in May 2017, on a Wednesday and Thursday night - the Wednesday, The One was packed!  The food is excellent and very well cooked and the staff are very efficient and friendly.  Both occasions, the meal cost close on £25 (main course, soft drink - 2nd evening, main course, pudding, soft drink)

Grilled tiger prawn with noodles and mango salad.

Harrods Praline hot chocolate

Harrods have now rebranded their hot chocolate range (as of early 2017) and at the time of writing have two flavours - this one being the Praline.  It comes in 300g bags within a copper coloured container, priced at £12 a tin.  The Praline makes a good flavour, although not as nice as their previous range of flavours (salted caramel, hazelnut, mocha).  But it's still a VERY good chocolate - made with hot milk, not the instant type, with either one or two heaped teaspoons of the chocolate mix.
This is available in their Brompton Road store in London and online HERE and presumably through their airport duty free shops at some point.

Mozart white chocolate liqueur drink.

This is an Austrian kirsch mixed with white chocolate cream (along the lines of Baileys liqueur) and is seriously yummy!!!  More commonly found in Continental Europe - seen often in Airport duty free - but is also available in Harrods in London though currently priced (Feb 2017) at £19 a bottle.
