Return to Borough Market!

Stuffing of face continued in the afternoon at Borough Market. It was packed to the gills! Not particularly pleasant when the weather is warm. So many people that one could barely make out the food stalls. Face first stuffed with a pork belly with crackling and apple sauce sandwich from Roast. Mom would have been proud.

After finishing off the pork belly sarnie, we hunted down the cheese sandwich and raclette stall. 

The smell of melting Comte cheese wafting from this stall is amazing. Although E and I were pretty full, we decided we just HAD to try the melted cheese sandwich. 5 quid for two pieces of melted cheese heaven.  They even use Poilane bread! Not wanting to end up feeling like the Michelin man (though we were close), we asked the 3 Hong Kong girls behind us in the queue whether they wanted to share our sandwich with us. They looked at us like we were a godsend (truth be told, we felt the same way about them!).

Here's E happily holding our melted cheese sandwich.

The Eat Off Begins

My English eating adventure started at 10 a.m. this morning at Kopapa on Monmouth Street in Covent Garden.

Sister restaurant to The Providores on Marylebone Street, Kopapa also has the famous Changa Turkish Eggs. However, as I had already tried them on my last trip, this time I decided to try their Chorizo Hash with fried eggs, rocket and fried shallots. Verdict - not as good as the Turkish Eggs though it was fairly tasty. 

Washed it down with a skinny latte. Beans from Monmouth Coffee so the latte was reliably good (and strong). Latte art could have been better though. The baristas at Strangers Reunion would win hands down. 

E, having eaten the breakfast on the plane (which I assiduously avoided), could only handle the fruit salad (which was pretty granted).
