Day 3: Portobello Market and other touristy stuff
DSC02645 edit




Went back to Oxford street in the morning for more shopping! I love how the shops open earlier than in Singapore, like at 9AM?!

Then it was off to Notting Hill area with Vi!

Had lunch at Churchill Arms!

And guess what we had, THAI FOOD!

THAI FOOD AT SUCH AN ENGLISH LOOKING PLACE LOL

Food was legit, and I picked the spiciest dish on the menu where I confidently chowed down all of it BUT THE HEAT THEN GOT TO ME RIGHT AFTER. That said, this was just peanuts as compared to the spicy ramen challenge I did with Wymer and Jem some time ago.

Portobello Market!

Recognise this?!
"I live in Notting Hill. You live in Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world knows who you are, my mother has trouble remembering my name." 
"I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."

After that we were finding our way to The Muffin Man Tea Shop and WE CAME ACROSS THIS

You know, just 2 ex warner interns exploring London and came across the Warner office in London.

This is really fate. It's like there are so many other labels in London yet we just have to come across Warner!

So anyway, we continued our way to the tea shop in amazement

The scones and cream were really good! Can't say the same for the Queen Mother's cake and Red Velvet cupcake! I thought the QMC tasted like playdough and the cupcake had a bitter aftertaste. Weird stuff.

Tower Bridge at night!

Then we had dinner at Burger & Lobster, where the highlight was how our host looked so much like Steve Garrigan and I just couldn't stop hyperventilating.

The sauce is h-e-a-v-e-n-l-y. Lobster was perfect but really, my mind was very distracted by Steve lookalike. Yes, I just called him Steve lookalike for the whole night.

Too bad I didn't manage to sneak a photo of him BUT NO PHOTOS NEEDED REALLY, BECAUSE HE JUST LOOKS LIKE STEVE.

Miss you already, Steve lookalike!
