Museum of London Docklands

Enjoyed a visit to Museum of London Docklands Thanks to my friend who wanted to go otherwise I doubt I would have visited.
Personally I liked the 1940s stuff and the treadwheel for lifting heavy items.

Central Cafe, Stratford shopping Centre InShops

Central Cafe is another place for proper English food!

Located at the Market Village in Stratford Shopping Centre.

I was really impressed because they serve pie mash from my favourite Maureen's who are the best purveyors of Pie Mash according to the Pie Mash Liquor group.

I dined there for spaghetti bolognese with freshly grated cheese.

Just like the menu said, it was served with freshly grated cheese!!

Cheddar cheese definitely wins over parmesan and tasteless mozzarella!

I had so much cheese left that I ordered some extra chips to make cheesy chips and they didn't charge me for the chips 🙂

They are a friendly cafe with a good bond with the guys at the famous chips and curry sauce joint nearby.

5 Continents, Stratford Shopping Centre

Gentrification again.
Another huge shop in another mall turned into a mini mall with smaller shops.
Its happening everywhere.

Indian and Chinese from The Ravensbury

I was really lucky to get some delish food from The Ravensbury as someone works there.

The cheese naan is ultimately the best because it was really cheesy with proper cheddar cheese which was melted like a cheese toastie.

The curry was good as well.

Also had Delicious Salt & Pepper okra which was like okra tempura but tastier!

Looking forward to trying everything from the menu especially the BBQ Lamb ribs and tandoori mushrooms!!!

The salt and pepper tofu and noodles were just amazing.

Pie Mash at Eastenders

I love pie mash so I feel compelled to try every place that serves it because it seems to be going out of fashion especially jellied eels as well.
So far I have tried a few but not in East London where it all began.
Ironically when I was in East London in my earlier years I didn't try it back then when it was popular.
Anyway, in the heart of Chrisp Street, you will find two pie mash shop, one called Maureen's and the other called Eastenders Pie & Mash, both have been here for quite some time!

You simply can't miss Eastenders Pie & Mash with its traditional green outlook.

Overall, I thought the pie mash was a bit bland even with salt and vinegar however the their homemade old school vanilla sponge cake with smooth creamy homemade custard was so comforting!

There is nothing like a proper pudding with real custard.
