Bow Dip burger from Bun and Sum

I have always wanted to try this burger place because of the bow dip burger which comes with a pot of beef juice for dipping.
Buns & Some is a delivery kitchen that turned popular hence people are coming here for takeaways.
Located underneath railway arches, there is no where to sit unless it is a media visit with the usual arrangements.
Overall, the burger was soft and reminded me of shake shack with extra brisket slices.
The beef juice which I was looking forward to was a bit salty so couldn't finish it.
Overall I was glad I tried, it is interesting how East London is changing as well as rail arches with more kitchens moving in amongst those car garage places.














Greek frappe from Pitta Santorini in Barking

Whenever you go into Greek restaurants you will also see Greek Frappe which got me curious so finally tried it from Pitta Santorini in Barking.
It is definitely different from the usual ice blended frappes it has this lovely light foamy layer on top which reminds me of Dalgona coffee.

Staying at London's first underground hotel Zedwell (Hotel review)

I love staying at special places and Zedwell near Tottenham Court Road is one of them that you will remember.
What makes it special is that the rooms are all underground because it was a former car park.
Rooms go as deep as 5 levels down with no windows obviously.
Themed as cocoons I was expecting it to be like a capsule but it is just a basic room with no windows but it does have ensuite shower, sink and toilet.
In terms of location, it is adjacent to Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road TFL and underground station which is super handy.
The room does not contain a kettle or hairdryer but you can get hot and cold water at reception which also had communal tables and sofas.
Floors are tiled so it can get quite cold in the winter.
Being underground, you have to rely on wifi which they have and it connects with an email address.
Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here as I felt really safe from the outside world without the windows.
You get to experience literally pitch dark environment once the lights in the room are switched off as you will not get any light coming in from the sides of the door even between the carpet and the door.
It was relatively quiet compared to some other hotels but you will hear toilets flushing and the occasional train passing beneath you.

Brunch at Chateau Cafe, Stevenage

Chateau Cafe stands out in town because of its French style decor and seating.
The menu items are the usual coffee shop suspects like eggs Royal and benedict but with a healthy twist of smashed avocado.
They also do gluten free cakes and a good choices of teas.
Ordered the avocado royale because the Basil dressing sounded good but it turns out to be a typo because it was balsamic dressing.
The tea menu was more detailed on the wall compared to the printed menu so if I had seen that I would have ordered the green tea.
Overall, not bad.
