IF YOU CAN ONLY EAT 5 THINGS IN LONDON…

London is touted as a food haven but what exactly is worth eating? Watched lotsa TikToks on London food which all seemed to be rave reviews of the food in London but sad to say many of them were disappointing. Collating my top 5 MUST TRY food places in London here - save this for your next trip!

1. Flat Iron

- This is a very famous steakhouse in London which was our top favourite! We had this thrice during our 5 days in London 🤣 normal steaks are £14 and they have a daily wagyu special (diff cuts everyday) from £18-22. If you’re on a budget the normal one is good enough!

- I love the beef dripping popcorn and ice cream that comes with every steak ordered. Would totally buy them if they were on menu items 🤪

2. Humble Crumble

- The best apple crumble I’ve had in my life hands down. They have 3 outlets (Borough, Camden and Spitalfieds Market) but the Spitalfields one is the least crowded! Get the warm custard and apple - so many textures and temperatures to this dessert!

- I also tried the elderflower crumble in large size but it was not great. For some reason the proportion of custard to crumble in large is kinda off 😕

- this is around £6.50

3. Where The Pancakes Are

- I’m not the biggest fan of pancakes but this one surprised me! I think they are sourdough pancakes? But the pancakes were slightly savoury, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My only with is that there’d be more ingredients to go with the pancakes!

4. The Mayfair Chippy

- Pricey but good fish and chips! For 2, we got 1 cod fish and chips set (with fries and 3 dips) and 1 haddock. Cod in the UK isn’t as tasty compared to those we get in SG, so I’d recommend getting haddock if you can only pick one. The set was £22 and the fish itself was around £16? Not cheap but the batter here is the best we tried and the portion of chips is huge.

5. Emilia’s Handcrafted Pasta

- Reasonably priced pasta with very very generous servings of ingredients! Ravioli was so thick we were comparing it to a wanton 🤣

Won’t be going back to London anytime soon but I’d definitely revisit these places! Do leave a comment below if you have any other must tries!
