They call it the Finnish Christmas Fair, but really, who are they kidding? Aside from one table of Christmas ornaments and some obligatory Moomin product, it was nothing but a good old food fair, descended upon by all the Finns (and non-Finns) of London each year to stock up on Finnish snacks and goodies for the coming festive season.
I, for one, am not complaining about that!
I’d heard a lot of good things about Uncle Lim’s chicken rice. Sold only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, people have trekked from far and wide for it.
It was only a matter of time before I hauled my lazy ass down to East Croydon for a taste.
There’s an awesome new Japanese restaurant on Charlotte Street. Wait, what? This news is so gargantuan I need to break it down.
There’s an awesome new Japanese restaurant.
Considering that if I had to pick one cuisine to take with me to a deserted island, I’d pick Japanese (the good and bad and sashimi and curry and matcha of it all), this is good news.

I was slow. I was lazy. But last Saturday, I eventually got my hands on the Meatwagon cheeseĀ burger (recommended as the first burger I shalt try) and mother of all big flat meatballs, it was bloody delicious.
I often declare the fact that there is not much wisdom going on in my brain. I spend my days squeezing out every last ounce of brain juice for the purposes of this thing called work, and when home time rolls around, all I can compute is the conundrums of blonde vs blonder in The Hills, because trust me, my one remaining brain cell can still topple them all.
But if there is one piece of wisdom I can impart on you all, just one… What I want, no what I need to share with you is this: if there’s one meal you’re gonna blow you cash on this year, you’d better make it The Ledbury.
New gelato shop on Greek street selling BLACK SESAME gelato! It’s not too bad – could be a little stronger but hey, for an emergency fix, this is brilliant!
Strangely, it’s the only Asian flavour but here’s hoping they’ll bring in matcha next š
