Recipe | White Sandwich Bread

May 9, 2019May 9, 2019 London Food AddictLeave a comment

One of my favourite hobbies is eating baking! I love to cook as well but I’m not that great at it (because my mum is awesome at cooking) and I think baking is easier with given measurements. Every time I have tried to learn some recipes from my mum it’s always “add a splash of… Continue reading Recipe | White Sandwich Bread

As I have previously mentioned, I love to eat but I am not a great chef. My mama is a fabulous chef and always cooks so I feel a bit intimidated (and spoilt). I do want to learn but I make excuses for not trying (my mum has prepped already, I’m tired, I don’t have… Continue reading Food | Vegan Sushi Class

Spontaneous decisions usually turn out to be the best right? Definitely true for my trip to Dubrovnik! Honestly, I don’t even remember how we came to decision of going there but it was probably one of my favourite trips. Dubrovnik is a city in Southern Croatia. Game of thrones fans will recognise buildings as the… Continue reading Travel | Dubrovnik

Travel | Bath Part 2

November 12, 2017November 12, 2017 London Food AddictLeave a comment

Whenever I go to somewhere outside of London, I try to find something unique to that area to eat – ‘the local food’. Going to Bath felt like a bit of struggle in the research for food area. What is traditionally British and special to Bath? Being from London, Fish & Chips is something I… Continue reading Travel | Bath Part 2

I have to admit, I’m not much of a cook. I love eating but when it comes to cooking, I’m not so successful. There are only a few things I can make and make well. Recently kimbap has become one of the small handful of ‘things’. If you don’t know what kimbap is, it is… Continue reading Recipe | Kimbap

I was born and raised in London and as a typical Londoner I have visited a fair few countries but not been to many areas outside of London and in the UK. Other than a mini trip to Edinburgh, I have only been to visit family outside of London for a day – meaning that… Continue reading Travel | Bath Part 1

Recently I have been attempting to try more food styles from around the world. I have a comfort zone with Asian food especially Korean and Chinese food so I’m trying to push the boat out a little. So, after seeing it pop up on my instagram feed continuously, I popped round to Señor Ceviche. Señor… Continue reading Food | Señor Ceviche

Hello and Welcome! ♥

My name is Chi. Born and raised in London - now I am eating my way through this diverse and exciting city. I love to eat and I am always hungry! I have the travel bug so I'm here to document my wanderlust adventures too.

Chicken Kari Roti Canai £7.95 @ Gopal's Corner - Finally managed to get this. The last time I went to Market Hall the queue was super long! The roti canai was nice but not as crispy/flaky as I expected. Also quite oily towards the end but guess that's what happen when fried things cool. The curry had a great flavour with a slight spicy kick. Just didn't like the cumin seeds lingering around but that's just personal... 📍 Market Hall Victoria #LondonFoodAddict
Tamarind Duck £11.30 • Green Papaya Salad £8.50 • Pineapple Fried Rice £8.50 • Tom Yum Goong £6.20 • Pad Thai £9.50 • Tord Mun Fish Cakes £6.20 @ Chalida - The tamarind duck was so good. The duck was cooked perfectly and the sauce was a lovely balance of sweet and tangy. Loved the added texture of the crispy fried vermicelli and lotus roots. Papaya salad was also great. The tangyness really whets your appetite for the main meal. Other than those two dishes, everything else was just okay. The only flavour I remember from the soup was salty, not much substance. The pad thai was strangely sweet and the fish cake didn't have that oomph. I went during the 50% soft launch period but the prices shown are the regular prices. Portions are quite small for the prices (especially if you get the signature flamed chicken - I saw it go past several times and that sure is one baby chicken). 📍 17 Wardour St, London W1D 6PJ #LondonFoodAddict
Yansuji (Popcorn Chicken) £6 @ Jiaba - Little bites of crispy goodness. Made better with a dash of chilli powder. 👌 YUM! 😋 📍 Spitalfields #LondonFoodAddict
Char Siu Rice Roll £7 • Crispy Chicken Rice Roll £7 • Osmanthus Sweet DouHua & Youtiao £6.50 @ Rice Brother - The rolls were really good, like an Asian twist on a burrito. The char siu one was definitely my favourite. It is marinated with their homemade sauce and is perfect sticky mix of sweet and savoury.👌 The DouHua was silky soft. This is made fresh in the mornings with soy beans and took me back to Hong Kong. 😍 The youtiao went surprisingly well dipped in the sweet honey sauce of the douhua but the dough stick just made me crave congee. 😂 📍 Spitalfields #LondonFoodAddict #Invite
Cinnamon Hotteok with Matcha & Nuts £4.99* @ Oseyo - Crispy flaky sweet pancake with a gooey cinnamon filling. 😋 I've been watching a lot of Korea street food videos on YouTube lately which shows a lot of freshly made hotteok. Can't wait for the day I go back again and eat eat eat! * The hotteok itself is £3.49 (£2.99 offer at the moment) and the matcha & nuts topping was an extra £1.50. 📍 73-75 Charing Cross Rd, London WC2H 0NE #LondonFoodAddict
Waffles | Earl Grey Custard • Salted Caramel • Matcha @ Dhan Waffle - T'was an eggciting time at @selfridgesfood These waffles reminded me of the bubble waffles but in a bigger individual egg shape (duh). The salted caramel was my favourite topping for the light waffles, something about sweet and savoury is just great. 🙆‍♀️ 📍 Selfridges Food Hall (though Dhan Waffle has moved on to Finsbury Square Garden) #LondonFoodAddict
Steak & Fries £16 • Confit Duck £15 • Calamari Fritti £9 • White Chocolate Bomb £8 @ Cafe Monico - A lovely meal in one of the prettiest restaurants I've been to in a while. Also, a great spot to people watch with the window seat. 👀 Loved the duck confit, juicy and easily shredded though not the most shreddable I've had. The puy lentils were nice to start with but quite salty towards the end. Calamari was great - just wanted more. 🦑 Tender to chew though not crispy, the flavours were great. The prawns🦐 were a surprise but they were the best on the plate. The chocolate bomb was rich. The inside was a white chocolate mousse which paired lovely with the chocolate cake crumbs. 🍫 📍 39-45 Shaftesbury Ave, Soho, London W1D 6LA #LondonFoodAddict
Gyro and Chicken Platter £8.99 @ Halal Guys - Finally tried this and it was great. Chicken and gyro is a good combo but really it's the sauce that does it for me. That secret white sauce is amazing and addictive and transforms the dish. What is not shown here is when we ask for more white sauce and then see the sauce on the table next to us so we proceed to cover with more white sauce.😅 The hot sauce though. My goodness it needs a warning. ⚠️ I was not expecting that hot. 😫 📍 14-15 Irving St, Charing Cross, London WC2H 7AF #LondonFoodAddict
Pork Katsu Sando £9.10 • Seabass Jalapeno £7.50 • Wagyu Oshizushi £11.60 • Our Roll Sushi £12 • Lotus Root Chips £3.50 • Yakisoba £9.80 • Chocolate Delice £6.50 @ Issho-Ni - The Katsu pork was super juicy with a crispy bread crumb shell, crunchy cabbage, spicy mayo for a kick and sandwiched between toasted brioche bread. Packed lunch at school would have been exciting if the sandwiches were like this! Defo order if you're there for lunch! If not, the delightful sushi and sashimi at affordable prices will be perfect. Drooling whilst thinking of the melty wagyu oshizushi. 😍 Our Roll was also amazing - packed with salmon, tuna and seabass which may sound like a lot of fish all in one but works so well! What more could you want? 😋 📍 185 Bethnal Green Rd, London E2 6AB #LondonFoodAddict
