Flying off

Goodbye.

Hello.....

Of Nandos, Football and Battersea Park - London

A sunny day in London calls for granny sunglasses.....

And also ditching the jeans. These dresses are so beautiful OMG!

A walk around Battersea Park was amazing with such a great weather. I will make a special post on Battersea Park soon because it is such a beautiful and awesome park :)

Of course, too much time spent under the sun leads to ugly wrinkles and freckles. A hat and suncream is necessary!

Hello, Chelsea Football Stadium. I know nobody there except Ashley Cole because he cheated on Cheryl Cole. 

There is a game on tonight so there were a number of stalls selling Chelsea souveniors outside the stadium. I love blue colour.

Chelsea Footbal Stadium was located near Nando's. I saw a few people wearing Chelsea jerseys and football attire. Sorry, I dont watch football so if you are a famous person, I would not know ;p

A whole chicken for a meal in Nando's with the extra spicy sauce to give the extra kick yumyum.

The sunny hot weather and three hours of walking calls for almond magnum ice cream.

Lovely lovely day!

London: Old Bond Street

Old Bond Street is the street where you can find Shops like Alexander Mcqueen, Tods, Cartier and such. It is just off Picadilly Street.

Picadilly Street- rich in architecture and filled with shops and cafes. Plenty to do especially since its near Chinatown and Regent Street.

On another note, I am absolutely in love with the clothes from Abercombie & Fitch. It is located at Burlington Gardens. Its a huge building and it felt like being in a maze at first. I love their jacket!

Just so you know, this post started with a write up on Old Bond Street because it was directly in my view while I was in the bus, stuck in really bad traffic along Picadilly Street.

Fab weather in London

A walk along the river on a sunny day with Big Ben and The London Eye in sight. Can't help but love the photos I took :)

Walkers Sunbites

Walkers Sunbites multigrain crackers taste so good. Its like eating oat crackers. On the pack it says LIGHTLY salted. Indeed, it was not very salty which was to my liking.

They were giving it away for free on Victoria Street. I would member have tried it at all if it was not free because I am not a fan of chips. I am glad I tried it!

Gourmet Burger Kitchen, GBK

I finally had a taste of GBK at Fulham Broadway. GBK is a franchise and so numerous GBK restaurants can be found around London. I have always wanted to try it but I never gotten around to it.

7.95 pounds for a original sized cheeseburger:

Delicious! It reminded me of burger bakar Abang Burn and Burger Lab in Malaysia. Of course in Malaysia that kind of burger cost only 4 pounds. GBK's burger was much better than Burger King's and Mc Donalds. Unfortunately, it can't compete to Malaysia's burgers. Go Malaysia! ;)

On a other note, I left my first footprint on Westfield shopping mall, the largest shopping mall in Europe.

I did not go with high expectations but once I stepped foot in it, my jaw dropped and I was in awe.

 There were so many things to see and do there. It was like having shops from Knightsbridge, Kensington High Street and Oxford Street into one building and also every single food cuisine can be found in Westfield mall!!

Look what I found- A restaurant called Penang!

They serve food like pisang goreng, char kueh teow and other Penang food.

I'd definitely go to Westfield Mall to shop again since it is indoors, very suitable for the rainy wet weather in London. Plus, I dont even like being under the sun so Westfield is fab. The aircond was also full blast so its not so stuffy like some other malls.

I should make some Instagram videos of Westfield mall next time.

Pret A Manger and Itsu

I love Pret A Manger and at Victoria Street, I found out they have one of the biggest Pret A Manger shop I have seen.

If you have not been to London, you need to know that there is Pret A Manger at almost every corner of London streets especially where the tourist attractions are situated.

The owners of Pret A Manger also recently opened Itsu, which is a Japanese restaurant.

Its concept is similar to Pret A Manger where dine in was more expensive than take-away and the 'products on shelf' concept was the same.

I personally enjoy dining in Pret A Manger and Itsu because everything from the sandwiches to the sushi and to the tables were always well arranged and organised. The floor is never filthy and the  staff make it a point to serve within 1 minute and clean the tables within that time too.

I have tried Itsu's salmon teriyaki and salmon sushi box.

Most of Itsu's fish range are salmon, either sashimi, sushi or  rolls. They also have tuna fish sushi and edamame. Recently, the bento boxes came out which was a variety like teriyaki chicken and others. I love edamame so I liked that they have meals which comes with a side of edamame. Besides cold food, they also serve hot food like duck hot pot and others. I would have tried the duck hot pot when I visited Itsu but unfortunately they do not serve duck on weekends. Itsu also have their own range of drinks. I tried their raspberry water. It tasted like water and cough medicine. Not my taste at all.

Best of all, with this concept, customers get to see the end products of the food before making their choice. Its better than looking at a list of menu with no pictures and trying to guess how the food will turn out.

On another note, while strolling around london I stumbled upon the house of the guy who made penicillin! 

I know this because it was written on that blue round sign on its wall.
