one filipino dish a week

I’ve been in London the last couple of weeks for work and once again been pretty busy and not much time to cook. I have been eating and exploring the food in London so I’d like to share that with you. These aren’t the highest quality pics because these were all taken from my blackberry.

One of the exciting things here that I found are the markets. The last couple of weekends I’ve gone to two markets and had lunch. The first one is Borough Market which has been around since the 13th century and is frequented by the local chefs, foodies and practically everyone.

It’s winter so most of the goods that the farmer’s had were root veggies and these huge lettuce

When I saw this I knew this was what I was going to have for lunch. It looked ridiculously good Cheeeeese!

Here’s the raclette: melted cheese over potatoes and pickled baby cucumber and pearl onions. Yum!

Everything here is extremely fresh….which one do you want? Pheasant, duck, rabbit, hare or the deer? I can still almost see the heart beating in these animals haha. I think you can adobo and sinigang anyone of these Adobo Pheasant now that would be something I need to make.

It was raining all day yesterday and I didn’t feel like going out in the rain too much. However, today was really nice so I went to the Mayfair Farmer’s Market which is close to where I’m staying.

They had quite a variety of honeys, fresh meats, and vegetables. I got a bottle of apple and black currant juice. Haven’t tasted it yet but I will open it very soon and post an update here.

One of the meat vendors was selling a lamb sandwich which looked ridiculously good so I had to try it. It was lamb, spinach, chili sauce, apricot chutney and pineapple chutney on a ciabatta bread. It was a fantastic lunch!

It’s been great to explore the markets here in London. If anyone has info on where to get good Filipino food in London let me know. I’m here for a few more days.
