Hello London! A day of eating out again

April 26, 2021

Hello London! I finally, finally had a day of eating out again in London and I am unbelievably happy and content right now. It has been more than a year since I took a train out to London and what was quite a normal part of my life had become something that felt scary and foreign.

Xu was one of those highly anticipated eateries to have hit London this year and naturally, it was high on my hit list. I'd heard lots of good things about it from friends who went, so I couldn't wait to see what unique creations Bao's creators would come up with.

OK, so this Taiwanese fried chicken joint is just a tiny blink-and-you'll-miss-it shop just off main Chinatown but I couldn't not share it with you guys. The menu is quick and simple, either take out or sit on the limited bar stools by the window.

Bao, Soho London - The Best Baos Outside of Taiwan

August 19, 2015

It really shouldn't have taken me this long to write a post, but Bao in Soho is just too good. So damn good that I wanted to write only an amazing piece that truly justifies Bao's existence and the crazy queues that form before the doors are even opened for business.

Old Tree Daiwan Bee | Taiwanese in London

Old Tree Daiwan Bee | Taiwanese in London

June 14, 2014

This Taiwanese Cafe is a recent discovery and whilst I haven't been to Taiwan before, I have a feeling that the food here is pretty authentic. The customers are all Chinese on both occasions that we've been here. Old tree daiwan bee is located just on the outsides of main Chinatown so it's easy to miss.
