Achiote lamb spiced Lamb Chilli Con Carne Birria Tacos from Meat Head Mexican-Birria Tacos

I love a good deal so when I found out that you could get £5 dishes at Camden I decided to sign up to the Munch Club.

The offer is happening now until 13/2/2022 which can come in handy if you are in the area and hungry.

Participating traders in Camden Market, Camden Market Hawley Wharf and Camden Market Buck Street will be offering specific dishes for £5 which can be found on their websites.

There were so many to choose from so I narrowed it down to four places which were all self paid and Meat Head Mexican-Birria Tacos was one of them because their lamb tacos looked amazing.

You don't often get lamb chilli con carne which was the reason I tried it.

The lamb con carne was really tasty and full of spices and then there was a lovely cheesy layer that lines the taco.

The best thing was that the lamb mince had no chewy bits or gristle in it.

Overall, I really liked it.

Shrimp burger from Shrimpy - shrimp up your life

I love a good deal so when I found out that you could get £5 dishes at Camden I decided to sign up to the Munch Club.

The offer is happening now until 13/2/2022 which can come in handy if you are in the area and hungry.

Participating traders in Camden Market, Camden Market Hawley Wharf and Camden Market Buck Street will be offering specific dishes for £5 which can be found on their websites.

There were so many to choose from so I narrowed it down to four places which were all self paid and Shrimpy was one of them because the prawn burger with samphire just looked unique.

As well as Camden, you will also find them at Spitalfields which was where I first came accross this brand.

For the burger, you can choose to have your shrimp fried or grilled. The fried one comes in a crispy coating.

Overall, I prefer the shrimp fried because it keeps the shrimp moist and bouncy.

The grilled shrimps and bun were a bit overdone because they were black and bitter as well as really chewy.

It also comes with a choice of garlic tarragon mayo or mango chilli sauce.

Personally I prefer the mayo but the burger also tastes great without the sauces because the salad consisting of sliced pickled cucumbers, fennel and tender samphire was really good.

Shrimpy is everywhere now. I first discovered them at spitalfields and have been meaning to try them.

They were participating in the munch club at Camden so I decided to check them out.

It was really hard choosing which one to dine as there were so many options but Shrimpy was on the list.

Tried two burgers, one with fried shrimps and the other grilled.

The fried one was stunning, big pieces of shrimps but then the coating was quite thick so you get that lovely crunch.

The grilled one was not so good, the prawns were overdone, dehydrated, black, chewy and bitter.

The buns were a bit too burnt for my liking.

What makes these buns and Shrimpy unique is that they use Samphire and the salad in the bun was refreshing with thin slices of cucumber and fennel.

Overall, it was good apart from the grilled shrimps so I would advise getting the fried shrimps.

Argentinian Steak with homemade crisps from Meat Point

I love a good deal so when I found out that you could get £5 dishes at Camden I decided to sign up to the Munch Club.

The offer is happening now until 13/2/2022 which can come in handy if you are in the area and hungry.

Participating traders in Camden Market, Camden Market Hawley Wharf and Camden Market Buck Street will be offering specific dishes for £5 which can be found on their websites.

There were so many to choose from so I narrowed it down to four places which were all self paid and Meat Point was one of them because their thinly sliced beef looked amazing.

For the £5 you get a choice of Steak Sandwich or Steak and chips which both come with grilled onions, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, mustard and homemade Chimichurri.
The chips are basically homemade crisps.

It was really hard choosing between the sandwich or the chips but when I found out that the crisps are freshly sliced there and fried I got the steak and chips.

I definitely made the right choice choosing the homemade crisps because they have that crisp texture with a chew.

The steak slices were top notch as well, it was tender and reminds me of the beef slices you get for Asian hot pots which are sliced when frozen.

The beef which was gently seasoned with salt tasted amazing with American mustard and chimmichurri that was drizzled on top.

The chimmichurri was just amazing so overall, I am so glad I got this deal.

Limited edition pandan doughnut from Crosstown

The pandan doughnut has been a popular seller for Lunar New Year at Crosstown and it is only available for a limited time each year.

Although their doughnuts are pricey, I felt I had to try because it is a unique flavour and you won't find many pandan doughnuts around.

Visually, the cross was faint compared to the doughnut on display but the overall taste was amazing.

I was really impressed with the doughnut base because it was bready with a chew and not like American style doughnut.

The icing and doughnut had a fantastic pandan flavour and the coconut custard was moreish without being too sweet of sickly.

Well done JP Then and Adam Wills.

Japanese Tea and musubi at Katsute 100

Katsute is a quaint Japanese tea room which started off in Angel/Islington.

Currently there are two branches with the second on Brick Lane.

I went on a quiet evening and had hojicha which was really impressive as quality tea leaves were used.

Overall, it was really good and affordable.

Revisited this branch again because they were doing tea sets with musubis.

I love Japanese musubis which are basically flavoured or filled rice balls.

Zen musubi are doing a cross over with Katsute on Brick Lane available on thurs and fridays.

Definitely a good deal because a musubi costs £5 at the stalls and here you get two with tea for £6.50.

The tea alone at katsute is at least £3.95.

£1 extra for gyoyuko.

The seaweed musubi was delicious as expected, the rice was infused with seaweed flavours.
