This is probably the third "noodle" burger I have had.
The one here is made with instant noodles.
If you try the noodle patty on its own, its flavoured so it was smart that they put seasoning in the water when cooking the noodles.
The patty was spinach and pumpkin which was nice but I would have simply liked a fried egg with runny yolk and cheese as another option.
If I have time, I plan to improvise because they seem simple to make.
The key trick is using a round thing to shape the burger and then chilling it for a while before pan frying it.
I call it a noodle burger because it was not the same noodle each time.
Some use spaghetti, while this Japanese place used ramen and this place uses instant noodles.

Over ten different Lasagnes at lasagneria italiana
Yesterday I was sent this restaurant called Lasagneria Italia by two people within minutes of each so it was a sign to go.
Obviously from the name they specialize in lasagne but with a difference as they have over 10 lasagnes to choose from.
The special that day was cauliflower and ham so I definitely went on the right day because I was going to choose the ham and cheese but even better with cauliflower which is a bit like cauliflower cheese with bechamel sauce.
As you can imagine it would be a tough decision with all these choices so on the menu there is a trio option where you can choose three.
In the end, I went for cauliflower ham, arrabbiata and the salmon.
The portion is quite generous and filling.
The cauliflower was good as expected being light and comforting, while the salmon which was the Gourmet Lasagne turned out too fishy.
Last but not least the arrabbiata was a bit too spicy but thankfully the cauliflower lasagne was the biggest piece out of the three.
Service was a bit annoying when i tried to pay but Thankfully the bartender was really helpful and sped things up.

Shatkora kebab at perfect grill, Bethnal Green
The most disappointing shatkora kebab I have ever had!
It was missing the citrus tangy flavours of Shatkora fruit!

Aussie haven in South London at Dee Light Bakery
Discovered this cafe while looking for a cafe in Tooting.
I feel that some Aussie food is similar to English yet they are quite different.
However, I was impressed that they had haggis sausage rolls and iced buns [sold out on my visit].
The haggis, neeps and tatties sausage roll was really tasty.
As soon as you enter the cafe, you are greeted with Anzac tins at the cake cabinet with gingerbread men.
At the back, there is an Aussie corner where you can buy TimTams, Shapes, chicken salt etc and drinks.
Korean Lunch at Bentore
Only went to this Korean place called Bentore because of the views.
To be honestly, I rarely have Korean food because its just kimchi, fried chicken etc.
I know there is much more I haven't mentioned but its just not my cup of tea.
I got the Seaweed soup with beef [Soegogi miyeokguk] because its rather neutral with rice.
I was expecting the rice to be served separately but it was placed in the soup so I was doomed.
The seaweed soup was nice but I just hate soggy rice which is like rice in the washing bowl.
It reminds me of pointless duck leg soup with rice that has a layer of hot oil which is a tasteless dish.
Ozachake and Thunder tea is a little nicer but I'd rather have the tea separately.
Free ice cream for every food order but they guy didn't seem to tell us about it or I am guessing you have to request yourself if you are observant to notice the ice cream picture.
Flipino Batangas Lomi at Lutong Pinoy
Finally tried Batangas Lomi. [Flipino food review].
Lomi is a comforting noodle dish of egg noodles in a thick soup made with eggs, crispy pork, liver.
There are a few places in London that serve it.
The one at Adela was beef lomi and this place was pork so went here.
Spoon and rice also have it but I don't fancy eating it from a paper bowl with disposable cutlery for the same price.
This other place offers chicken, prawn or pork lomi which are alarm bells to me because it could mean the same broth where they just add the proteins.
Although, the lomi took ages, it was worth waiting for and service was warm and friendly.
When the lomi arrived, I was a bit disappointed they were udon noodles and not egg like Adela.
Luckily, it was delicious.
The soup was thick and moreish with whole black peppercorns that balance the chicharon.
You will also find chunks of crispy pork belly, liver, crispy garlic and lots of delicious onions in the broth.
The liver was a bit too hard boiled though so inedible for my picky standards ie not soft and velvety.
Lomi is similar to the Chinese and Malaysian Watanho but much nicer because the of the tasty broth and the noodles are not panfried.
The broth is pure savoury goodness unlike Chi/malay sweet broth.
Lomi also reminds me of Hong Kong doggie noodles and pin noodles in a thick soup but much nicer because of the quality meats unlike the decomposing meat they use which the locals are used to or have not tried fresh meat before.

Last but not least, DESSERT!
Filipino desserts : sapin sapin and ube.
Sapin Sapin was delicious that I literally finished it all without throwing it in the bin like the usual Chinese desserts.
It had delicious layers of jackfruit and ube.
The Ube cake was ok, it was the usual Chinese soft moist cake texture and savoury waxy buttercream.
Not my cup of tea.
