MissChu - Aldgate - London

"You ling, we bling!"

After seeing MissChu's slogan on their little delivery bikes, needless to say I was sold.

Viet Eat - Holborn - London

So, I've been trying a get back into shape.

I've never been one that could *gasp* go on a diet.

The thought causes me to crumble into despair.

That, and because I lack self control when it comes to any type of sustenance.

If you're edible.

I will find you, and when I do. I will eat you.

Shoryu - St. James - Regent Street - London

I've been patiently waiting for a new ramen bar to open in London for some time, and when it does- 3 appear around the same time.

The rivalry between Bone Daddies, Tonkotsu and Shoryu is FIERCE.

Don't worry - I've got you covered.

It just means I have to go to all 3.

For research obviously, intense scientific experimentation ;]

I went to Shoryu first.

Shoryu is brought to you by the same people who run the Japan Centre.

But Shoryu is in a league of it's own.

It specialises in Hakata Tonkotsu ramen noodles, and their head chef is born and raised from the Hakata district in Japan.

It's so authentic it hurts.

Pepper Lunch - Hong Kong

There are some things that the Asians' just do better, and one of those things is their Fast Food.

Food is gourmet in Asian Food Courts compared to the West.

So move over Mcdonald's, Burger King and KFC and meet Fast Food Asian Style.

If I had to sit here and list it all to you, you would just faint at the sheer magnitude of the selection.

One of my favourite places to eat in the Food Courts in almost every shopping mall, is Pepper Lunch.

Pepper Lunch, is an ingenious concept from Japan.

Think- your own personal Teppanyaki, where you cook your food on a hot, sizzling plate.

Genius.

You can choose, either beef, chicken, or salmon and they all come with rice plus extras depending on your combo deal.

For ~£6.50 I ordered the Pepper Steak.

Is this a dream!?

The steak arrived leisurely lying upon a sizzling hot plate, so you have to cook it quick and rest it on the bed of vegetables - if you like to keep your steak medium rare like I do.

For ease of cooking, the steak is already cut into strips

Pepper Steak served with beansprouts, sweetcorn, green beans and an bowl of rice.
