YUMMEI: November 2012

Namu - Japanese Street Food - Kingston

I don't know about you, but when I don't satisfy a craving I become possessed; and have to go hunting to find that one thing that I just simply must have.

Such cravings can only be satisfied on street corners ;]

Street Market corners that is.

Behind Kingston's Ancient Market in London, is Namu; a little Japanese Café (along with many other food stalls).

Yatzen - Contemporary Oriental Cuisine- South Woodham Ferrers - Essex

After I graduated from University, I was forced to retreat back to my hometown in Essex.

Grumbling, I packed up my belongings and moved home (this is a temporary arrangement of course).

The variety of restaurants here is dismal, with too many chain restaurants suffocating the town centre; programming the tastebuds of the people to only enjoy junk food.

Le sigh.

Wandering into a neighbouring town I stumbled across a diamond in the rough, so to speak.

Hidden behind a mass of commercial buildings is Yatzen; a contemporary Oriental restaurant specialising in Chinese and Malaysian foods.

So, let me introduce you guys to her.

World meet Yatzen.

Yatzen; world.

Now you've been formally introduced, let's crack on.

Shiro - Faux Japanese Restaurant

Having spent aeons of time in Asia, you'd think I'd tire of Oriental food by now.

Passing by the newly refurbished restaurant, Shiro, (formerly known as Niko Niko) just off Tottenham Court Road; I was summoned inside by the simple and minimalist decor AND my craving for anything teriyaki.

It was empty at the time S. and I strolled in.
