A compilation of what I ate in London. (In addition to Hawksmoor, Borough Market & Aquashard)

1. Vietnamese spring rolls & pho at Mien Tay in Pho Mile, Shoreditch area


2. Hot Salt Beef - Brick Lane Market
   


3. £10 steak at Flatiron.  Lovely juicy, tender shoulder cut with nice beef flavor and a cute little cleaver.


4. My fav coffee chain - Pret! Great salmon sandwich. Love the Americanos. (Also missing the Flat White from Costa Coffee.. )


5. Happy moment - found Stella Apple & Pear Cider at a local convience store


6. Sourdough pizza with anchovies, tomato, garlic, oregano, capers, olives, mozzerella - omg jam packed with salty anchovies goodness! at Franco Manca


7. Fish & Chips - flaky, meaty goodness. The mushy peas were great as well!


8. Fresh  juices from M&S to make up for lack of fruit & veg
   


9. The best ham & cheese crepe ever! at Creperie Angelie, Bicester Village
   


10. Amorino gelato
    


11. Udon at Koya, in Soho


12. Cottage pie ~ must squeeze in a second pub meal on our last night

London is another foodie heaven! Such a variety of diverse and multicultural foods for every budget. I ate fries (chips) every day and they were all delicious!! (So chunky and soft!) Too bad we didn't have time for a sit down Indian meal so settled with take-out butter chicken. We also had afternoon tea, but it didn't taste that great, mainly a nice photo opp.

It's been 2+ months since my London trip and one of the best things I ate was the beef pie from Pieminister (@Pieminister) at Borough Market (@boroughmarket). Borough Market is a food market in Southwark with local vendor food stalls serving a variety of multicultural foods as well as wholesale & retail stores selling anything from cheese to fish. (For those in Toronto - think TUM x St. Lawerence Market) The full market is only open on certain days and the location is walking distance to London Bridge & the Shard area.

Food is around 5gbp per item. We sampled paella, Moong Dal Dosa (spiced lentil crepe filled with masala potato served with a side of chickpeas - crepe was dry and thick but I liked the spiced chickpeas with pomegranate), German sausage and best of all - Moo & Blue beef pie (British beef steak & long clawson stilton pie). I never liked beef pie (or pies in general) until I had this one - flaky crust, with warm, soft, flavorful beef inside (like Guinness) ... Seriously must try!!
