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.https://skygarden.london/plan-your-visit

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.

190508-Albertini Near King Cross station, London

Recommended by Tripadvisor. We decided to try out this place since we are here. Quite a satisfying meal. 

Mussels nicely cooked. Served with fries.

Cream Pasta. Nicely cooked. We love the pasta. 

A little let down cause there is very little greens here. But it is just after winter. So, we can expect salad served with tomatoes and little greens.

Here is the address and bill

190508 Theater Wicked, Apollo Victoria, London

Decided on watching the afternoon show on Wednesday at Apollo Victoria Theater, London.
It was a good day for theater as it was raining the whole day.
Located at Victoria, it is really easy to reach here.

We went early on the day itself to the theater to look for bargain tickets. We got these tickets at only 29.50pounds each.

The size of the theater

We were so lucky to get the 1st row tickets.
The metal 'dragon' above us will move during the show.

As we are seated in the 1st row, we can check out the orchestra that was seated just in front of us. So cool to see them.

190507 Harrods

Harrods - famous shopping mall with expensive products. Most of its reviews complimented on its food hall. Yes, they serve quite a few kinds of food for takeaway.

Unfortunately, there is not place for us to sit and savour these snacks here.
