Borough Market
So so so delicious. Wish we had more time on our trip to go back and try every single stall but definitely worth a visit if you love food! My must get are the oysters, some of the freshest, juiciest, tastiest oysters I’ve ever had in my life!
Ken Kee Restaurant Hong Kong
First time here and had mixed experiences!
Goods: Great menu options, wonderful and colourful atmosphere and very well priced in my opinion. Also incredibly generous portions and great value for money! The noodles and curry fish balls were excellent and would definitely come back for these!
Bads: I found all the dishes I ordered a little bit or miss. It was either really really good or kind of bad. I found the tofu and the fish we ordered to be a little dry and lacking any sort of sauce which I thought was necessary. The service was also a little lacking, we went at a time that was not very busy at all but found that no one was paying attention to us and we had a lot of trouble getting our waiters’ attention even though there was barely any other customers.
Overall, a good experience and I’ll definitely be back to try more of their dishes, but probably avoid some of the ones I tried before!

Le Colonial Chicago
Been wanting to come here for a long time and found it pretty underwhelming. Some dishes were amazing but I found some of them not anything special for the prices you pay.
We got the ribs and the crispy pork and shrimp rolls as appetisers and those were both really good. We got the shaking beef as a main along with garlic noodles and eggplants. For those, I found that I’ve had much better at other smaller owned Vietnamese restaurants.
It’s definitely a nice place to have a nicer, fancier dinner, but in terms of the food itself, I feel like for the high prices I would be able to get the same quality if not better Vietnamese food at smaller owned places around the city.

Logan Square Farmers Market
One of my favourite farmers markets I’ve been to this season! Such a great variety of food, produce, knick knacks, vintage items. Every single bit of food we had was amazing and reasonably priced. Just so much to see that I could go every weekend!
