Lobsters of London

There are only two reasons why I don't eat lobster everyday, I want to buy a house and I don't want to be broke. Basically I love this crustacean, I love how the Chinese cook it with ginger and spring and onion, I love how the Italians pair it with pasta, and the French slathering it in creamy cheese but most of all I love it stuffed in some carbs, particularly a toasted brioche bun. So here is my run down of my top 3 lobster rolls in London.

1) The Daddy- Burger and Lobster

Doughnuts are Brilliant

When I eat a burger I semi-justify it by saying 'this is packed full of protein, perfect for after the gym' whilst conveniently forgetting it's swimming it fat. With the doughnut I find it hard to justify getting one every Friday lunchtime but I've passed caring now and nothing can break my weekly ritual, unless someone makes a scientific discovery that proves doughnuts shorten your lifespan by 50 years...actually I doubt that would even make any difference.

So here's a run down of some of the doughnuts that I've tried in London:

The Daddy- St John Bakery Doughnuts

Dinner at Dinner

I've never eaten at any of Heston's establishments so I, for want of a better phrase was bloody excited to go. I wanted to see if his creations were as amazing as the media made out. Dinner By Heston is based in the Madarin Oriental Hotel in Kinightsbridge overlooking Hyde Park, and it's a stunning location. The interior of the restaurant is inspired by Heston's knowledge of food and the kitchen is opened up to diners using glass walls so you can see the chefs busy at their craft. Pretty much a perfect setting.

Chicken or beef? Next time I go for both.

Its really hard for me to justify going for a chicken option at one of the best burger establishments in London because for all intents and purpose, beef IS better than chicken (what a ridiculous statement...but it's true). Also its hard to accept that you'll be walking out of Patty and Bun not having eaten one of their amazing hamburgers (unless you decide to be an absolutely greedy bastard) but I decided to go for the Chicken burger.

The Street Food Bug

I should really rethink the title of this entry because it sounds like I'm going to be talking about catching food poisoning from street food vendors. Far from it, the London street food scene is amazing, so much choice and most importantly so much quality. Here are my top 5 (in no particular order) street food eats in London.

1. B.O.B.'s Lobster Ahi-Tuna Tacos

These are sooooo addictive. I love the contrasts in flavours and textures. You have the crunchy fried wonton wrapper against the delicate tuna meat and there's some spicy kick in the sauce they use to go with the guacamole and fresh tuna. One of my favourite street snacks.

Where can I find B.O.B?? On the 9th and 10th of May they will be at Dalston Yard at Chilli Chilli Bang Bang

what an awesome looking photo...

Gluttony, thy name is Hawksmoor

Back when I was a teen the thought of chowing down on a bowl of cereal or a piece of toast was enough to make me gag, just wasn't a fan of breakfast. Nowadays there is no way I can function properly without a decent meal in the morning and I certainly have no problem getting up early to grab some grub from one of my favourite restaurants, Hawksmoor.

Hawksmoor's motto, couldn't agree more.

Definately a SIN when it's this good.

I am a huge fan of Vietnamese food, the banh mi is probably my favourite sandwich of all time and pho is one of my top comfort foods so when I heard good things coming from Salvation In Noodles I had to check it out. It did not disappoint.
