I was actually in London for 4.5 days but the things I did could have been covered in 2 so there. I MISS LONDON ALREADY, I feel like if given a choice I could live there and fall in love with the place even more
DAY ONE:
Dropped by this adorable bakery- The Hummingbird Bakery and got myself a grand total of 2 cupcakes- red velvet and salted caramel. They were bout 2+ pounds each or so i can't remember.
Salted caramel's definitely better than the red velvet.
CAKES CAKES CAKES. Something red flashes in my mind when i see cakes, i just get super excited and want to eat all of them. But 10 seconds later my sanity prevails and I pull myself away :( Very wise choice though.
Shopped along Oxford street cos no girl would miss this for the world. Singapore has HNM too but for some reason, the clothes I tried on in 2 of the 5 HNMs along this street looked way better on me than in Singapore so i bought my fill. If you don't convert, everything sounds better in pounds lol.
On my first day in London, I got lucky with good weather so the pictures make London a lot more cheerful than it usually is.
WHERE EVER YOU STAY IN LONDON, GO TO WAHACA.
It serves delicious Mexican food and reasonably priced cocktails.
JUST LOOK AT THAT. My friend had this CRAZY tasty bowl of salad: Avocado, pumpkin seeds, beans, lettuce in a deep fried crispy tortilla bowl with chargrilled beef. 8.50 pounds - WORTH IT OR WHAT
I had the slow cooked pork burrito (with onions and chillies) for dinner, 6.95 pounds. DAMN NICE, it was a little spicy, which I loved, and really filling.
DAY TWO:
Visited the touristy areas everyone goes to.
The Birmingham palace change of guards or wtv it was supposed to be was a huge waste of time, saw nothing at all and was just constantly worried my bag would be pick pocketed cos the guards warned us about it.
Some random pics of London while walking around. WALKING is something I realised i don't do anymore in singapore because it's just too bloody hot. The weather makes you physically so tired before 3pm you just can't. I CAN'T. Especially when you live on a street that has so many cabs all the time.....I just can't even walk to the bus stop anymore lol.
London Eye
Big Ben
Tower of London
So there, I'm obviously not very impressed by man-made attractions but nevertheless, i liked walking to these places and accompanying my parents while they re-visited these sites after 25 years.
I miss London :( for it's weather, for it's faded charm.
SEE YOU AGAIN MY PULLED PORK SOUP AT PRET-A-MANGER.
