I'm a pretty big doughnut fan and when my friend Whitney told me about this travelling truck that sold little munchkins all over London, I made it my personal mission to find You Doughnut. That being said, it was harder than I originally thought and it brought up some personal issues, like: "Lauren, why the fuck are you searching for a doughnut truck? Honestly? Of all things?" But it turned out that after a month and half of waiting and stalking proved to be resourceful. Finally this mysterious doughnut vendor made an appearance in Granary Square at Kings Cross and I got to officially eat these heavenly pieces of dough. I got them covered with cinnamon and salted caramel sauce with rainbow sprinkles, cause I'm girly and love rainbows, and oh my god was it a religious experience. These munchkins make you revaluate your life. If you don't believe me you can stalk them yourselves.
Located in the cutest colourful alleyway are the biggest pizzas I have ever seen. And I mean a pie the size of a small country. We went to Homeslice which was nuzzled away in Neil's Yard in Covent Garden for my friend Colleen's last day in London for some good eats and good times. The place was quite sweet, it had a bit of boho feel to it and there was a selection of pizzas to choose from on a blackboard. I went with Colleen, Angelica and Emily and we decided to get two pizzas (20 quid each) one was margharita and the other had ham or something on it.... I have no idea what they're called but I definitely had a religious experience with those pizzas. Doughy and thin and loaded with cheese. Definitely drool worthy and it was a great way to spend Colleen's last day! Leon is one of those quick take away chains that I have continuously passed on my way to class and thought everytime "Wow, that looks good," which I thought was a telltale sign to actually eat there one day. And alas, that day has come! Most of the items on the menu are super food salads with some hot food options, but I opted for the sweet potato falafel because I'm rather fond of it to be honest. I talk about it a lot which annoys Emily but it's fine. She loves it. The box of sweet potatoe falafel came on brown rice with peas and some salad and a really yummy sauce that I want to say was tzaziki sauce but that may just because I got an overdose of it in Greece. Anyways, it was extremely yummy, filling and well-balanced! A plus in my book. I have to admit, I'm a frequent flyer for cupcakes at Hummingbird Bakery, which I mentioned in my first food post ever! So here are some of the flavors I have been trying in my recent visits. |
