Day 2: Borough Market // Greenwich // Around Piccadilly Circus // Once

After my failed attempt of catching the sunrise and St. Paul's Cathedral, I walked back to Borough Market!

And then I went to Greenwich! Greenwich is so beautiful, and my only regret is not having enough time to explore that area!

Don't you think this looks like some castle or manor on a hill?!

Very picturesque walk up to the Royal Observatory. Cursed several times while walking up to the Ovservatory because it was so freezing cold and the steep walk seemed never ending. It's like you take 20 minutes to walk up the hill and only 5 minutes to get down. How does it even add up.

Went to meet Vi after that and tried Jamie's diner, which was so disappointing!

The burger and hot dog bun was stale, patty was meh too. But the calamari rings were really good. That said, I still love you, Jamie Oliver

Had afternoon tea shortly after at a place with the most amazing cakes!

I wasn't too keen on trying this cheesecake at the start, but then I just went along with it and THANK GOODNESS I DIDN'T STOP US FROM GETTING THIS CAKE BECAUSE IT'S THE MOST AMAZING CHEESECAKE I'VE EVER HAD.

The filling in there was so fluffy and creamy like ermahgerd best cheesecake ever, period.

The strawberry puff thingy was really good too. At the first try I thought it was quite meh too, but somehow it just grows on you and I think Vi liked that one more than the cheesecake? The hot chocolate was amazing too!

Felt that Covent Garden was so overrated!

It definitely looks like we do nothing but eat most of the time, but yes, that's kind of true. There's just so much stuff that I want to try! To avoid the lunch and dinner crowd, we strategically planned our meal times at odd timings, such as brunch at 11am, afternoon tea at 1pm and dinner at 5pm? This is the famous Four Seasons duck which was really really good! Flavourful and juicy. I'm not a fan of duck but I approve this one!

Yummy wantons that stole abit of the duck's limelight!

Caught Once! Ronan Keating is so handsome ermahgerd and he had put up such a great performance! Actually the whole cast was amazing. Though I kind of missed 30% of the story because of the accents/lack of subtitles (LOL PLEASE DON'T JUDGE) but anyway it's still so amazing!

The stage acts as a real functioning bar before the show and during the intermission! How cool is that!

 I think I did pretty well for day2.
