The London List: Eating

-
It's been a while since I've done a food post, so I've gathered together a couple of foodie recommendations! When I first moved to London I regularly featured my restaurant suggestions and favourite places to eat, and this has started to slip in recent months. This is mainly due to the fact that I've now found my favourite places to eat and, like the creature of habit I am, I like to stick to them! Burgers and Asian food feature heavily this week and it's all veggie friendly.. Enjoy!

Jen Café
Believe it or not, I've never eaten dumplings before my visit to Jen Café. This little, slightly shabby café is tucked away in China Town and has a real authentic feel to it. There was a lady sat in the window hand making the dumplings which was fascinating to watch. I went for the fried vegetable dumplings, with a side of spring rolls and they were all delicious!

KaoSarn
This little Thai restaurant is in Brixton Village Market and I visited for the first time a few weeks ago. I had my heart set on a vegetable massaman curry, my absolute favourite Thai dish, but they didn't do a vegetarian version (gutted) so I opted for a veggie Thai green. I'm rubbish when it comes to spice and this curry was teetering on the edge of my tolerance, but it was delicious despite the spice!

Porky's BBQ
This wouldn't have been my first choice of food venue and as the name suggests it's not the best for vegetarians. I guess it's a bit of a heaven for meat lovers, but not so much for the humble vegetarian. I went for the veggie burger, with a side of sweet potato fries, washed down with a Pacifico, my favourite beer. It's not the best veggie burger I've ever had, but I didn't expect much going to a BBQ joint - food here is cheap though and there's a nice atmosphere.

Duke of Edinburgh
The Duke of Edinburgh pub is quickly becoming my favourite place in Brixton; mainly because of the huge beer garden, but also thanks to the amazing food. I went for the aubergine and halloumi burger, with a side of chips and coleslaw from the BBQ menu and it was delicious! I also had my eye on the chocolate brownie with toffee sauce, but sadly I was way too full! The BBQ menu is great - there's loads of choice for meat lovers and you get a choice of 2 sides with you main meal.

I know at this time of year people are usually planning trips away in the sunshine; but (if you're organised) these will have been planned for quite a few months in advance. Now is actually a good time to get ahead of the crowd and be thinking about winter holidays. Summer has just arrived and the majority of people aren’t thinking of a winter holiday just yet, so it's the perfect time to book! Plus, booking early means you can usually can get amazing prices and deals. Skiing and snowboarding holidays are such fun, even if you are a beginner! They're my favourite type of holiday so are the perfect choice for a winter getaway. I would love to ski in Canada one day, so I’m sharing my love for all things Canadian today. I've been there in the summer before, but it would be a great destination choice for a winter holiday!

Hello Wonderful People! I love being a vegetarian; I've been one all my life and would never dream of changing my eating habits. However, being veggie can be a royal pain in the a hole when travelling. There are some countries that are really good for veggies and there are others that look at you with disgust when you ask if there’s a veggie option. You’d be surprised at the amount of people who have no idea what the word vegetarian means and who offer you chicken as an alternative. The last time I checked, chicken was definitely meat. So here is a list of the best and the worst countries that  I've  been to as a veggie.

Top 5 Places I Want to Revisit

Hello Wonderful People!   As a self-confessed travel addict suffering from a sever case of wanderlust, I love nothing more than exploring new places, meeting different people and seeing new things. Therefore, once I’ve visited somewhere once I like to tick it off my list and head onto the next destination. As there are so many new places to discover in the world, I don’t want to waste my time going over old ground. Despite this, there have been several places I’ve visited where I’ve completely fallen in love and would like nothing more than to go back and do a bit more exploring. I’m completely torn between jetting off somewhere new, or going back to an old favourite, it’s a tough decision. If I were to choose the latter, these are definitely the 5 places I’d love to revisit.
