Elliot's Cafe & St James's Park

It's not often that we go out for breakfast. Firstly, there are no nice cafes around where we live and by the time we get to London, I'm starved! haha It so happened that we woke up quite early on Sat so we thought why not, let's check out this newish cafe near Borough Market, one that I've been reading about recently. 

We got there at around 9.45am and it was pretty crowded. A good sign, in my opinion and as luck may have it, there were 2 tables still available so yes! we didn't have to wait for a table!! Woohoo!! The menu consists of some standard breakfast items and we decided on the Eggs Benedict, a chocolate bun and of course the all important coffee boost we need in the morning!!

The coffee from Square Mile was a bit too sharp for my taste as I still prefer a more rounded flavour but having said that, i had an americano so I believe it would have taste much better in a flat white.

The chocolate bun was good. However, the star of the show was the Eggs Benedict! Just look at that egg yolk!! Perfection I say!!! Every ingredient brought together by the creamy and tangy hollandaise sauce, tasted absolutely wonderful! 

After breakfast, we had a quick walk through Borough Market before heading to St James's Park for a nice post breakfast walk. :) What a nice way to spend the morning!

Garlic and Artichokes

Garlic and Artichokes....one would usually immediately think of cooking and eating right? Especially garlic which is an essential ingredient in chinese, italian, indian etc cuisine.

Well, they actually make great photography subjects too! One place we love visiting when we are in London is Borough Market, famous for selling fresh produce and food! It is here that I chanced upon the lovely vegetables in the photos.

How I wish I had a wonderful market nearby where I could go to everyday to buy fresh ingredients to cook on the day itself!! Wouldn't that be just lovely!?
