Second day in London-food, food and more food

I am not really crazy for the hotel breakfast and like to skip it whenever possible. So, this was our breakfast spot every morning. They are all over the city and we could find one on the way to wherever we were heading to. I loved their acai bowl with green apples! I made my own version the other day and will be posting it soon. ;)

Colourful Soho

Detail

Next stop-British museum. It’s a beautiful building, inside and outside. And it’s big! We had to choose what we wanted to see because to see it all you need days or weeks.

 For an early lunch, we wanted to try bangers and mash. I am still laughing at the name of the dish! :D

Even though this place was highly recommended I ended up not liking it. The food tasted instant and kind of fake. I wasn’t really sure if that was meat and potatoes I was eating and the sauce was definitely not homemade… Too bad because the place was cute and I loved the lighting. 

I am almost embraced to say but these were very helpful. When we were in Japan I don’t remember ever having a problem with the left-hand traffic. However, in London, after a day or two I was so confused with where to look for cars and was expecting them to come from above as well. Fun times!

I almost don’t recognise myself on this pic.:D I was having bad hay fever those days and could barely keep my eyes open. Also, for some reason the electricity in our hotel wasn’t the best and the hair drier couldn’t get hot enough so that I could straighten my hair properly. But, aside from my face and hair looking double in size the rest is looking normal!

Getting my daily dose at C&D. Those chocolate, raspberry and meringue cupcakes were so yummy!

Then we met with V’s sister and her boyfriend. It started raining so we went to a bar for some drinks. 

And then, surprise surprise, more food! For dinner we tried another British classic-chicken and leak pie. Much better that what we had for lunch food but still, nothing special.

First day in London

After a short flight and a train ride we arrived in London. 

We stayed in Soho area, which was perfect-everything was within walking distance. Most importantly Crumbs and doilies. :D I have been watching Jemma on youtube for quite some time so to try some of her cupcakes was a must!

On the way

First on the list of places to visit-221bBaker Street. 

On the way to Camden town we passed by this beautiful place. 

First taste of British food-fish and chips. :D It was very good-greasy and crunchy.

Camden town was highly recommended by my mother in law, who lived in London and my sister in law who now lives in London. I ended up buying a little leather bag in one of the shops selling stuff from India. 

First visit at Crumbs and doilies. Those pretzel cupcakes were a dream! 

After a short rest at the hotel, we went for a pre-dinner walk. Love the sky!

On Sundays restaurants serve Sunday roast and we had to try it. It wasn’t the best roast I had but it was ok. The dessert was a bit weird-sticky toffee pudding with butter or clotted cream(!) on top. Both Yorkshire pudding and butter on cake are probably one of those things you get used to with time. Yeah, I wasn’t too worried, I could always buy a couple of cupcakes to indulge in! ;)
