London Day 5

our sunday started off meekly, foodwise, at the nearby cafe firozzi.

i got a nicoise tuna salad & m had a chicken panini.

both of them, including the coffee, were just ho-hum.

not bad though.

then we biked and walked over to the brewery/backyard market

on brick lane, where after walking around and people watching,

i got 2 little skewers from this korean food stall :

and m got a giant rib eye steak sandwich at an argentinian stall :

we walked up to shoreditch and at some "beigel" places,

i spotted new chunk of hot salt beef getting sliced up :

wowza.

another stop over at old shoreditch station for yummy

chocolate-sprinkled cappuccino and a kirin :

we also snacked on this goats yogurt and brownie (the best

gluten free brownie i've ever had - so good that i didn't get to

photograph it) :

so rich and delicious - almost too much for me.

we decided to go see norwegian wood, which had just opened in the UK

but not in the US (still) - hopped on the barclays bikes to islington,

where they were showing the film on upper street.

then realizing we had a few hours before the show, we decided to just bike

down to chinatown for dinner then catch a showing in covent garden.

after scouring options on gerard street, we settled on the cheapest

place - far east something.

hot & sour soup, mapo tofu (hilariously listed under vegetables)

and roasted pork/duck combo did us some good.

these were surprisingly delicious. although i could've eaten

some large dish of greens (yu choys or other), they didn't have

much greens available.

btw, the movie was AMAZING.
