Camden food market

     Last year whilst interning in Kentish Town, I discovered this nestle of Camden Food Market around the canal banks, hidden from the main street. To be honest, it is bit embarrassing about how I found this place only recently, even though I've frequented Camden Market many many times.
      I suppose people, or rather me, only visited stable market and considered that as the hub of Camden. After the discovery of this food paradise, the inner epicure of mine forced me to indulge on these delightful foods. Just like Brick Lane, another food haven of London, it's a perfect place to satisfy your palate with diverse cuisines.  


Polish Cuisine






Polish frankfurters with potato dumplings, salad and bread. I do love frankfurters and these polish ones are to be commended. I have tasted Polish food before as well and I do have to say they are quite to my liking.


Smoke 'n' Roll : with a name like that, it had to be tasted. 





Pulled pork wrap.
My love for meat is immense and let me just say my whole family loves pork. Sooooooo, nom nom nom, Aaaahh.. what a feast. 


Shrimp Up Your Life




Shrimp burger with avocado
Taste wise, it's brilliant. I mean who doesn't love shrimp, specially when battered and fried, with crispy exterior yet moist and succulent on the inside; and garnished with salad and avocado. Of course, they gave an option for grilling as well but this time, its my old nemesis; deep fried. I have a love-hate relation with fried food and this time, I lurveeed those crispy fried shrimps. 
However, I do have to say that it was a struggle to keep the shrimps in place. Always trying to roll out of the bun, or it could be my inexperience on eating these sort of burgers. 


Mulled Wine



So, this was the first for me. I am still contemplating whether I am into it or not...


Mmmmmm....Cake......


Not the best carrot cake I've had but still digging it.

City Breaks

LONDON

Since my workplace is close to the buildings below, it would be a mistake not to take some night photographs. I used the Guerrillapod to get these shots, which I have to say was rather inconvenient; it's still useful in many ways but I found myself to prefer the classic tripod. 








PARIS

Who doesn't love Disneyland? I grew up watching Disney cartoons; from Mickey mouse and Donald duck to Aladdin, and to see these fellas in front of your eyes, jumping and dancing around, can be a dream come true, even though they are people wearing inflatable costumes. Sorry kids. It might have been childish of me but  after considerable planning and saving some money last month, I decided to go to Disneyland Paris. 
As I got out from my car, it started to pour hailstones. Seriously!! First time in Disneyland and this is how my day starts. And people say British weather is unpredictable? I don't see it any different in Paris. Anyway, after a few minutes, the hailstorm stopped and there I was on the queue to the entrance eagerly excited like a child, but of course I was not showing it. Hahaha. After all I am a responsible adult.

I have to say it sure pulls you back to your childhood as soon as you enter this magical land. All these funky characters and streets solely made just like in the cartoons. Since it was raining, I only had a few chances to take pictures, also because my camera isn't hail insured.










AMSTERDAM

Here I was again in the same streets, the same canal, strolling around to see this so called Amsterdam. Last year I was here with a friend and this year again, I am back since another friend insisted. I feel Amsterdam is like going to central London. Its rather close to the UK and cheap to fly to if planned properly. Well, hope you enjoy these pictures I took; hopefully they are not too similar from the last time.

Greyscale

I think black and white pictures are really great. In fact, my favourite colours are black and white. I somehow find the combination can be well suited to anything. Whether if it is for fashion fabric or for portraying any landscape materials. Well, that's my point of view.
