Squirty Egg custard Buns from Bunhouse (8unhouse)

Although Asia started the instaworthy dimsum bun trend, I feel that the quality of Chinese food is actually better in the UK in terms of quality, freshness and presentation.

Anyway, Bunhouse is famous for these squirty egg custard buns and the way the buns are presented.

Bun has been open for a while now and the menu has changed quite a few times.

In a way, I liked their initial bun menu but I can understand it was taken off as the filling are not your conventional bun fillings.

The buns that I liked were the Chicken bun (filled with chicken, pate, miso), Fish bun (filled with cod, prawn, chilli oil and basil), Red Choc Bun (filled with dark chocolate, pig blood and chilli).

The fish was definitely unique because they don't have buns filled with fish in Hong Kong.

Each bun is stamped with its flavour which makes them easy to distinguish as well as giving it a signature look as no other place does that.

Sadly, I also missed their rainbow bun in 2019 which was so pretty.

On my first visit, I had their signature custard bun and the lamb! 

Unfortunately, I got the bad one of the batch that day which didn't squirt and the base of the bun was stodgy as it wasn't steamed long enough.

At the bottom of the bun there was some weird doughy pile in the middle.

I could have told them but I decided not too and revisited another time.

Had it been another person, it could have been their first and last visit.

The second visit was much better, the bun was stamped better and you could see it was pure liquid custard in the middle.

Overall, the bun was tasty and not too sweet.

Also tried the lamb and beef which it is filled with quality chunks of meat inside and not crappy meat like in Hong Kong.

Overall, I would recommend visiting for the custard buns.

Hopefully they will serve the rainbow buns again.

As well as Chinatown, Bunhouse have just opened another branch at Hawley Wharf.

Fish and Chips at Golden Chippy, rated the number 1 best chippy in London on Tripadvisor

As a fish and chips fanatic I had to try the Golden Chippy which is rated number 1 in London on Tripadvisor.
Finally made it by train where it was only a few minutes walk from the station.
The Golden Chippy serves their Fish and Chips with salad which is quite odd and this was another reason which made me visit.
On the menu, there were so many fish offerings like skate.
In the end I got the fish goujons and fish roe.
It was good to see fish roe offered as not many places offer it due to unpopularity.
Compared to other chippies, my food arrived quickly and it was piping hot.
The fish batter was so light yet crispy that it crumbles in your mouth and the fish was so delicate that it was like silk.
Although the fish and chips was better than all the chippies I've tried in London, I felt that the salad actually stole the show.

Looking at the salad, it was finely chopped with olive oil, tomatoes, parsley mixed salad and it was so tasty and moreish because of the tangy dressing.

It also had mint in it which makes you remember their salad.

Coming here twice, the fish and chips were consistently good although on my first visit, there was no tartare sauce and on the second visit, there was tartare sauce on every table.

To summarize, I would definitely recommend it!

Third Visit:

Porter's Path Fish and Chips

As I was in the area I went in for some chips for lunch.

It seemed like a new chippy as it wasn't there before but anyway I decided to check out their chips.

To be fair, the fish in the cabinet looked good.

Overall, I was disappointed with the chips because they were greasy but their later batches looked alright so I believe they can do good chips.

I was offered more chips but I was just sick of chips at that point.

Design District Canteen

I love this new hub for food!
It brings a great variety for Greenwich Peninsula.
Design District Canteen is a new global food hall for London.
A fresh and stylish hub with one bar and six independent vendors. 

Take it to go, or dine on the terrace or mezzanine oasis.

They finally opened their doors in mid September so I had to give it a visit.

There is a bar at the entrance and six vendors on the ground floor.
