Ghanaian food is SPICY; All Saints controversy


Portobello Market is swarming of tourists and locals who dig around for antiques, hand-made crafts, various fashions, knick knacks, food, etc.
I always follow the smell of amazing food; and this time I've discovered the most delicious food in the market - Ghanaian food. It is served as a stew form and in this summer weather, the chillies will numb your mouth. According to TimeOut magazine, there are few others around London worth giving a taste!


While trying to swallow the mouth flaming food, I discovered another reason why I love London markets...look closely.

On an ending note, if we want to reserve Portobello Road for its markets, we will have to battle the likes of All Saints and other retailers from taking it all away.

Brick Lane Challah



Reasons why I love Brick Lane:


-the best challah bread in London for £1 at the famous Bagel Bake (OPEN 24/7)!-all the Japanese tourists taking pictures of people while we are taking pictures of them
-fresh food stands
-vintage shops
-small independent stores
-the selection of hip clothing a person decides to wear
-drinking/eating on the curbs culture

Galvin La Chapelle - Spitafields


If there is one French resaurant in London that I adore, it has to be Galvins. Each Galvins presents you with a variety of atmosphere and view. Having already tried the convenient 5-min walk to Galvin Bistrot de Luxe and admiring the amazing view of London from Galvin Windows; I knew that the next one would continue to impress me.
Galvin La Chapelle at Spitalfields.


Just look at the refurbishment they've completed while retaining some details of the area leaving us to feel the mood of the surrounding area. I had a quiet Sundat brunch worth the travel to.
