Highlights include lobster rolls (avoid the seared tuna -- not for me), amazing crispy duck fat triple cooked chips!!! Get them! The dumplings were lukewarm / cold and covered in spicy sauce. Skip, better options available. Pho lovely and warm but prefer vermicelli noodles to the thicker ones in them. The duck wrap was nice (not a fan of tomato in it). The confit duck better pick. The smash burger took absolutely ages! Man very sweet & brought it over to us. The steak & frites with pepper sauce was great. But dipped the duck fat chips in that sauce & was in food heaven.

A relatively new stall on Whitecross Street serving (as you'd imagine) -- Bibimbap wraps! And…read morebubble tea. There are several selections of wrap: steak, bulgogi turkey (will go back to try that), vegan, etc. We popped in here after our Salad Kitchen plans were foiled (burst pipe!) -- this stall is usually right across the street from SK, so here we go. The cute hand drawn menu drew me in, as did the smell of bulgogi...mmmmm. The good: Fresh wraps! Interesting composition! Big! Huge portion of the steak wrap...it felt like a burrito. 7.50 might seem steep but the quality of the meat was high and it was made fresh right in front of us. Very good value. The maybe-not-so-good: The ingredients are wrapped in nori (seaweed paper and then wrapped in actual paper. Unfortunately, they are super messy to eat, unless there is some trick I am unaware of. Foil might be a better choice? I don't know but ish was everywhere, I was glad to be with a close colleague and not with those I would need to look proper in front of! The bubble tea- meh. It was just sitting up on the counter (I thought it would be made fresh and these were just an example set of teas) -- and I don't know about you, but I don't really want milk tea that's been sitting for a long period of time, you know? Plus they mixed boba with the jelly balls, I hate the jelly balls. I wanted all boba. This is a pretty big thing with bubble tea -- so I basically didn't like mine at all. I would skip it next time return. Overall, a solid little spot - sans the old bubble tea. The wraps are nice, I'd love an option to get the ingredients on a salad or in a bento box type thing, for ease of eating. But the goods are fresh, and that's the most important thing. *open with weekday lunchtime market. *cash only.

Clearly, this is not a good spot for a first date. This thing is just very difficult to eat "on…read moreroute" and that's I guess the idea behind the street food trend right? Eating on the go & stuff. BUT...this "thing" aka wrap aka bibimbap is delicious. I went for the bulgogi steak, and to be honest, I could stand next to this steak being cooked all day long. 7£ is well, not cheap, but you'll be fed for a few hours, trust me :)

I came across this Vietnamese Banh Mi stall that recently opened. I don't know if it's just…read moretemporary or if they will be there every day indefintely. They sell 3 types of Banh Mi sandwiches: chicken, pork and veg. I'm no Banh Mi specialist but I tried the pork and chicken and they were much better than anything EAT could offer. The sandwiches taste fresh and are generous with the amount of filling which includes a mix of pate, slices of meat and vietnamese salad (corriander, cucumber, fish sauce, etc.). The one negative is that I saw they use Maggi seasoning which, if you're not from Asia, is a type of soy sauce but has MSG in it. Apart from that, I would definitely go back since there is a lack of good lunch places in the City. They also had a selection of vietnamese coffee and tea but haven't tried it yet.

A permanent fixture located in the hip Boxpark Shoreditch area. It's kind of like the container park in Las Vegas, except with great weather and 99% less douchy. They're open 7 days a week for your doner fix, or as an invitation to introduce you to the delicious Vegan version of a classic Turkish food. Think of a falafel wrap, but with Seitan instead of chickpea balls. It was so good that my babygirl who normally is quite indifferent towards middle eastern food, gobbled up more than her fair share of the wrap. I was quite proud of that girl! Don't forget to ask for a side of hot sauce. Very friendly service and the wrap came out at lighting speed despite being fairly busy. They DO NOT skimp on the filling here. That bad boy was quite girthy! It was also fairly reasonably priced @ £7.95 or so. In addition to the doner, they serve some sort of pizza and some salads. Although honestly, what more do you need than a Vegan doner wrap and a cold beer? (Brewdogs is just down the street)

Even being jetlagged, I could really taste how creamy it was. It wasn't until later in the day that eating my leftover portion that I could appreciate it even more. I love prosciutto! And this crepe sandwich was simple but hit just the right spots. Okay. It could have used more prosciutto IMO, but it was really tasty. The mozzarella, arugula, and tomato were so yummy. Simple and delicious!

With so many different options at Borough Market it is super difficult to choose where to go. I had…read morealready eaten my full by the time I stumbled upon Gastronomica, but I couldn't pass up a delicious looking prosciutto, mozzarella, sandwich. Sandwiches travel well, right? Cut to my very large "snack" sandwich. It actually did travel well. It took me a bit to get back to my hotel and then a little longer to sit down and eat it. Don't worry, I tried a bite when I first got it as a base line for later. I held up OK. Obviously it is best when it is first toasted/pressed but it was decent as take away as well. For about $11, a steal for a meal! Gastronomica also has a little stand in another location within Borough Market where they sell sweets. Wanting to end my food journey with something sweet I opted for 2 mini cannolis: vanilla and pistachio. The vanilla was really sugary sweet. It took a minute to eat it even thought it was small. The pistachio was less sweet but even with the end covered in real pistachios, I missed the pistachio flavor. Perhaps my tastebuds were tired after all of the different food.

These were our first meat pies we had on our trip to England. As someone who lived in Australia (a…read morelong time ago) but now lives in the US, the lack of meat pies and sausage rolls is sad. I was very excited to try these pies out! The pies don't come with any sides, such as mashed potato or mashed peas. That's not a dealbreaker though, as they are meant to be eaten on the go and adding mushy peas would be a challenge. We both enjoyed the pies and I'm glad we chose them from all the options in the market, especially since I was growing tired of fish and chips. Great pies - I'd eat them again!

All hail, Pieminister. Hail to thee, Prince of Crusts. All…read morehail, Pieminister. Hail to thee, Prince of Fillings. All hail, Pieminister, that shall be King of Pies hereafter! On our 9 day visit in London, one of our quests was to find the best British meat pie in the city, and we're happy to say this is the One! Our admittedly subjective criteria includes: - Pie must have a good balance of gravy and fillings - Fillings must be meat-forward, and not overly displaced with potatoes, carrots or other 'fluff'. Caveat: non-meat fillings must still be present and enhance the pie. - Crust must be crispy, all-around (no soggy bottoms!), but balanced with the fillings. - Value (quality for price) matters Along these lines, this Borough market vendor provided the absolutely best pies we found in all of London. We ordered the "Moo & Blue" which was a beef steak and Stilton cheese pie for 8 or 9£. Start to finish, the pie was crispy, well-balanced, while still offering the best price around. There were a variety of other pies offered, each with clever names (Deer & Beer! Kate & Sidney!), and we wish we had more time to sample them all, but we're sure we'd be quite well pleased with any of them. Is it easy to eat a meat pie in the crowded Borough market location? No. But, it was worth it! All hail, Pieminister!

This ended up being the first thing I ate after my redeye (washed down with Turkish coffee and hard cider, clearly I know how to treat my body right). The line can be long, but it moves swiftly. Service is impatient so act fast. The pork sandwich itself is mildly overrated; I found too much of the meat to be fatty, and too much of the skin to be tough and stringy. But there were some very lovely and juicy bites in there, and the apple sauce is a nice touch. Worth a try, though I'd get someone to split it with you as it's quite hefty.
