190427 to 1905510 - Food I ate in England



It was a long trip in England. 2 weeks in England and plenty of chances to try out food there. However, since we put up at my sis place in the 1st week, we normally eat food from her home. Only when we moved to London in the 2nd week that we really need to eat out. So here is the list.

190509-Five Guys
The so popular fast food burger chain. 

Click here on my take on Five Guys
190508-Flat-iron-steak-covent-garden
The much talked about steak that all my friends told me to try. Everyone told me the portion was big. We realised the portion are the same. We ended up not ordering enough.
190508-Albertini-near-king-cross
Another food that we celebrate after a taste of it in London.

190507-Chipotle
Not sure if it is really good or because we are so hungry for vegetables.
190507-Serpentine-bar-kitchen-hyde-park
A place to take a break after the cold walk in the park.



190507 - Wasabi-london
Wasabi sushi came to our rescue when we are missing rice. Prices are similar to those sushi sold in Singapore and taste good too. 
190506-camden-town-market
Plenty to eat. This place has alot of kiosk selling different kinds of food from different countries
190505-burger-lobster
Another must eat item that my friends recommended.
Do note that they do not prepare food with different pan. I was told that it is better for me to avoid the beef burger since I am allergic to lobster since they use the same pan to prepare food. 

190505-fresh-go-convenience-store
My dinner today cause I am allergic to Lobster
190505-leon
For a quick grab for lunch

190504-Cafe-rouge-in-salisbury.html
A place in Salisbury where we only realised it is not serving English food after we got seated.

190503 - Indian-takeaway
Something that Locals like to do every Friday

190503 Mcdonals
The Mcdonals burger her at Salisbury was extremely good unlike the ones we have in our own home country. 
190502-Goldmine-roast-duck
Our 1st Chinese meal in London. Surprised that the duck taste so so so good.
190502-My most unforgettable food from borough-market.


190430-Lyme-regis-Cod Fish Fillet

190509 - Five Guys

The fast food place that everyone wanted to try when in London

Free peanuts at the counter if you want to eat while waiting. Not too impress with the burger.



This is the only thing that I like about Five Guys. The chilli powder dip for fries. 

190507 Wasabi London

Another food chain, Wasabi in London.
It cost us 18.10 pounds for these takeway.
Wasabi is like those fast food chain where you can dine in or do takeaways.
The sushi taste exactly like those you bought over the counter in NTUC or Coldstorage in Singapore. This food chain gave us a good break from all the English food.
Surprisingly, the side dish made of seaweed and soy bean is good.
We would definitely come back for more if we were to stay here longer.

190503 Indian takeaway

It is the thing in London where working adults do take away every Friday. Indian food is most popular now. So I requested my sis to try out for us. She ordered via telephone. And staff deliver to our doorstep.
1 portion for 1 person. Most of the food taste creamy. Just like Thai red curry and less spicy. Understand they have adjusted the taste to suit the English.
There are different kinds of nan. Plain or with herbs. All taste good. Even the rice. Very nice.

190503 Mcdonals

This McDonald is located next to Tesco Supermarket in Salisbury, Bourne Way, Milford
English said this is bad food. Yes, we too said it is bad food. But if you are hungry, who cares. Lucky we were hungry and we manged to try out the McDonald in Salisbury.
Look at the wrap. How long it is. Unlike those in Singapore, it is half the size only.
Compared to those in Singapore, the burgers were huge and the meat patty thick and juicy.
Unlike the ones I tried here, the meat do not have a smell. Real delicious.
Thats the chicken burger with bacon
The only thing I don't  like is, the children play area.
Not good to have children playing with electronic gadgets.

190503 Tesco Extra Salisbury

I must write about supermarket in Salisbury. Those Local ones.
We visited the one at Milford. At Bourne Way, where the locals visits.
If you are local, you can join them as a member and with the card, you can collect a 
handheld scanner to place it on the trolley. Every item you pick, you can start
scanning them.
Once you are done with your shopping, you just need to transfer the data to the self 
check out counter for payment. Payment can be done in cash or card. That is so cool.



Looking at the food displaced on the shelf, one cannot help but to exclaimed the food are so cheap.

190509 Sky Garden London

The Sky Garden is located at the top floor of the Mobile Phone look alike building here.
The Sky Garden is located at the last floor of this building. The entrance is behind this building where there is someone handling the registration and security before entering this building.
We need to book via internet before we come here.

Nice view at the sky garden
St Paul is just in front of us


That is London Tower

Tower Bridge
Expect a lot of greens here.


We can chill out here too
Its really cool to visit this place while you are in London. It is free. 

190508 Flat Iron Steak, Covent Garden, London

Upon seated, staff will serve you a cup of delicious salted pop corn. We went at 6pm and were told that we need to wait 1 hour. Just leave them our mobile number and they will text them. It is good to visit this place with a contactable mobile number. Immediately after we register for the waiting list, a message was sent to me. At just 1 hour, they message me to say the seat is ready. Awesome service.

Basically, you need to order sides as the main course comes only with a small portion of greens

This is the main course. We need to buy the sauce too. I do not know why my friends told me the meat is huge and need to share as they cannot finish one serving. When we are there, we ordered 2 portion and do not have enough for 3 persons. Perhaps we did not order the fries? If we have another chance, we will order 1 portion for each person.


The knife for the beef.

Understand this free ice cream is only for outlet at Covent Garden.
In the end, we love the ice cream more than the beef here

Not expensive for a piece of beef here.
