Monday: The day Y3 first step into Four Seasons and leaving London
Four Seasons is famous for its duck rice and Y3 after all these years, hasn't tried it until today.
I'm still not a big fan of duck no matter how much people promote it. I still can't make myself swallow the thick layer of fat under the skin. The char siew and Ma Po Tau Fu was delicious. I think I finished most if not all of the green chillies.
Platform 9 3/4 to my magical train to Hogwards.
My other classmates. Hehehe. This platform was quite a challenge to find as there was renovation going on.
Chilling at Ritazza, Euston station before bidding Y3 farewell.
Tuesday - The Day for Les Miserables:
Because PP and I haven't watched Les Miserables, we decided to go watch this famous theater before we go back for good. When we reached the theater, in order to qualify for student discount, we had to return 1 hour before the show started and the best available seat will cost 27.50 pounds each. So, we decided to go for lunch at Kulu Kulu Japanese restaurant.
The best dish there is the hand-roll sushi with salmon, avocado and tempura prawn. H and I had 2 of this and load of green tea and pickled ginger.
Followed by really delicious ice-cream at Scoop.
I didn't even realise that I was going to watch one of the Jonas brothers, Nick Jonas performing as one of the main protagonist.
We went back at 6.30 and we managed to get stall seats!!!
OMG!
Les Miserables is really one of the plays not to be missed. I was really impressed with the main actor-Jean Valjean's stamina, acting and singing. The concept for the props was impressive too. Good storyline mixed in with some history. Highly recommended. I thought I would be bored of theater after watching The Phantom of the Opera but I was wrong. I can go for theater anytime.
Supper of Pandan cake with Black Sesame Mochi while wathing The Orphan horror movie. What a combination. Hahahaha.
We started our crawl at the cafe inside St. Paul's cathedral.
See how famous these scones and Maid of Honours are. We're giving them celebrity treatment. Hahaha.
Scones which are crunchy on the outside and soft inside served with a generous scoop of strawberry jam and clotted cream. Yummy! The Maid of Honour pastry is made from clotted cream and it tasted more savory than sweet.
Our 2nd stop. I just found out that only certain branches of Starbucks serve scones.
Very Berry Scone with Ice Strawberry and Cream Frappucinno.
We walked all the way from St. Pauls home to Whitechapel. Hopefully I've burnt all the calories away....but then......
E cooked a feast for us! We ended up going to bed super full.
Thursday - the day to change money and revisit Central London
It's hard work changing currencies which are not popular and so many different types at the same time. Because I didn't really know London that well, I ended up in Bayswater changing money and then making my way back to Oxford Circus again. At least that's sorted.
Why is there such a huge queue in London? Ooooo, iPhone 4 is out! Worst part of all, 99% of people in the queue already owns an iPhone.
Dinner at Ten Ten Tei:
Don't be fooled by this Japanese restaurant with a small entrance. When we went in, they had more sittings underground and the place filled up really fast too.
I tried the Hayashi Chuka, which is cold noodles served only in the summer. It was really different but I liked it. M had Katsudon and it tasted like the usual Katsudon.
Now, I'm closing my London chapter and opening a new one. I hope that you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed blogging about my experience. I will now disappear till early July. Take care!
