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.






190507 Hyde Park London

Easily accessed via tube from different stations, Hyde Park is huge and you will not miss it when you are near Victoria or Kensington  Area
Plenty of birds around, like swan, ducks etc
Basically, the squirrels or birds around here are not afraid of people. Perhaps they have been fed by visitors. Surprised to spot a special need squirrel. Like as usual for him.
Come across this little garden while walking north east to Prime Mart.
The chairs are for rent if you want to sit on them.
Basically, Hyde Park is polluted by too many birds that I felt it become quite dusty. Was pretty surprised as it is not as pretty than those parks I visited out of London. There is a very big field where you can jog there and huge place to walk. Still, I prefer parks outside London than here.

190507 - Serpentine Bar & Kitchen, Hyde Park, London

Lured into this cafe before leaving Hyde Park by this banner
The pizza was good
The coffee, not fantastic
However, it is worth spending some money here for a short coffee and keep the cold air away. With available toilets and seats with good view, I really do not mind coming here to rest and relax after a good walk in the park.

190507 Chipotle

Chipotle came to rescue when we are looking for lots of greens to eat while in London. We ordered the avocado salad and a chicken wrap.
I love the crispy and delicious chicken bits in this wrap with plenty of vegetables
That is the cost of 1 wrap and a salad

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...
