Breakfast at The Tea pot cafe at Romford Market

There are still places for proper English food but you have to go to the right places because they are getting scarce.
The Teapot run by the third generation is an amazing place to go and the options they have on the menu are impressive like old school bovril tea, four choices for puddings served with custard and the breakfast menu named after the Royals.
I had Prince Phillip which was a posh egg, bacon and bubble for 2.95.
The poached egg was amazing as it was smooth and tender.
The bubble was memorable because it had broccoli and peas as most places use cabbage so it was really tasty.

They also had traditional puddings listed on the board but it was too good to be true as they didn't have the jam roly poly.
Overall I am so glad I visited.

Fresh seafood treats at The Best Plaice by D.Crosbie

On a random visit to Romford, I discovered this really nice unit in the market serving fresh shellfish just like you would get at the seaside!
It meant another trip to Romford because I was a bit late that day as most things were sold out.

The Best Plaice by D.Crosbie has been around for so many years and this is the third generation.

Went back another weekend a little bit earlier and they had so many things to choose from like crayfish tails, winkles, cockles, whelks, prawns and brown shrimp.

They have all the things like chilli vinegar and pepper which makes the shellfish so tasty.

My favourite picks were the whelks and brown shrimp which were fresh and tasty.

Flipino desserts and Japanese fare debuts in Romford at Nasi Isha

On my food trip to Romford I came across Nasi Isda, a newly opened restaurant serving Japanese fare like sushi as well as Flipino desserts by Ooh Bei.

It turns out the restaurant is run by two partners hence the mix of food cultures on offer.

There a good Flipino community in Romford which would make it a popular joint as there are Flipino shops as well as other Flipino restaurants in the area.

The dessert range was impressive with halo halo, ube sando, ube drinks and pandan cups.

Chicken wings at The Captain's Table

The Captain's Table, another gem at Chrisp Street Market.
I love the proper chippy range as well as chicken.
You will see how large the cod is in the cabinet which is big enough for 3-4 people.
I only ended up getting wings because for fish and chips you really need to sit down and appreciate the food and they don't have dine ins as I don't live nearby.
The wings were surprisingly good because the chicken was fresh and the chicken skin was tasty and gelatinous.
Overall, this chippy is popular in the neighbourhood with lots of customers hence the food gets sold and fresh batches come out.
Will definitely be back on a nice day for chips and find somewhere to sit nearby.

Bagel Eats at Langdon Park

On my way to Langdon Park DLR I discovered this eatery so went in and had a look.

Bagel Eats opened in March 2021 serving you fresh bagels with a wonderful choice of fillings.

As well as bagels, they have a great choice for drinks and I totally feel for the Pacha drinks in a clear can on a hot summers day.

New BBQ Quarter pounder with Cheese at McDonalds

It was a visit to McDonalds because of the new Bbq quarter pounder with cheese.
You can either get the regular or double quarter pounder.
After comparing the two I got the regular quarter pounder because of the cheese ratio.
You get two slices of cheese with the double quarter as well as the single Quarter pounder which is rather strange.

I would have expected four slices or at least three slices of cheese with the double quarter pounder.
Overall I really liked it because it was the same as the McRib but with a beef patty instead.
The diameter of the quarter pounder was bigger than the bun which was good.
Basically it is tasty if you like mcds bbq sauce and chunky chopped onions.

However I prefer the onions finely chopped for an even distribution.
To summarize, I liked the burger but the only complaint was that it was not hot enough to melt the cheese and the temperature really affects the taste.
