A few dayz until my African food Odessa and I got a chance to catch up on some hot spots to dine in London. But when choice is endless and time is short, it felt like the best route to follow were friends favs - and this is where they brought me.
Caravan (11-13 Exmouth Marker, London): I am such an easy please for a weekend breakfast, any combo of streaky bacon and poached eggs will normally suffice, but C A R A V A N is a new moment in food time - totalz going straight to the top of my best breakfast of 2010. Toasted sour dough bread, slow roasted tomatoes - gorgeously amber with burned edges, soy creamed mushrooms - with that amazing truffle quality and deep chocolatey taste (I somehow managed to keep a couple to savor in my last bite), on top of these you have perfectly cooked streaky bacon that's crispy and oily and two runny poached eggs. The rest of the menu was totally great and exciting too, mackerel / avocado with chilli flakes - they also roast all their own coffee downstairs. UNREAL
Song Que Cafe (Kingsland Road, Easy London): The bottom end of Kingsland road is a total hub of Vietnamese food spots - app the Song Que is Jamie Olivers fav - also my friend Alex's so this is where we all went. Nice canteen style feel with high ceilings, paintings of running horses and pretty rammed. Hands down the best spring rolls, the battered king prawns were abit 'cheap take away' to look at but such a hearty bite. The spicy salt squid had translucent seemed like egg white batter - so light and crisp - also check out the poached ginger and chilli sea bream. . . so much flavor, that awkward plate licking thing happens.
