Our trip this year will include many of the following destinations:
Natural History Museum: Nice little cafe inside the Exhibition Road entrance. Nice food, a little quieter. Food standard/value – reasonably good. Nice to know we’re supporting a great Museum. We had a salmon quiche with two salads, and soda. The quiche was nicely prepared with good salads. Portions were small, so it seemed appropriate for diet pills not withstanding. For a hungry man or woman not on a diet, you might need to double up on the salad!
Wasabi: Just opposite Harrod’s Department Store. Unremarkable sushi served by a woman with a very surly attitude to customers. Small, expensive Sushi that’s been displayed all day, and the rice is a little hard. AND you have to pay for the extra Wasabi and Soy Sauce: Ridiculous. Can’t recommend this place. Harrod’s Sushi should be better. Also, all the sushi is wrapped in plastic, making it difficult to open and likely to destroy the sushi’s integrity. I just don’t recall having had good sushi EVER in London… either portions are meager, the texture is wrong, or the seafood is not fresh. Come to Taipei for great Sushi, even in 7-11!
Harrods Food Court: A crayfish sandwich on flatbread. The sandwich looked like it was worth the GBP4.50 and the contents were filling. It did lack a little in the flavor department, and both of us wondered if the CrayFish were fresh or (likely) frozen before cooking and serving. A piquante sauce with a little hot sauce would have been a good compliment to this sandwich.
Overall, the quality of the food we ate today was quite good, though perhaps we should shop more selectively, and plan our eatings more carefully for maximum flavor.
