LDN // Wahaca

Friday, 27 February 2015

Aloha! Whilst I was in London last weekend, I was really craving some Mexican food, so on the recommendation of my cousin's girlfriend, we tried out Wahaca! 
Wahaca specialises in Mexican street food, where you order 2 or 3 different dishes each, much like tapas! It was co-founded by Thomasina Miers, a previous winner of Masterchef! The restaurants are dotted all over London and are quite trendy inside. The branch we visited was in Covent Garden which is the original one!
So here is what I had!
Steak Tacos £4.85 : Oh my, these were devine! My other half had pork tacos which came with the addition of a spicy marinade, which was also amazing! 

Chorizo & Potato Quesadillas £4.20 : These were definitely the best bit about the meal! There were 2 of them stacked on top of each other and they were just to die for!

Chicken Taquitos £4 : I've never tried a taquito before! It is basically a tortilla wrapped around the chicken filling then deep fried so it goes really crispy! They were really nice but I much preferred the other 2 dishes! 

Churros y Chocolate £3.95 : Oh m gee. These were amazing! Basically they are gooey doughnuts sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar which you dip into chocolate sauce! I could live off these! 

And to wash it all down, I had one of these blood orange margaritas! These were rather expensive at £7.95 but totally worth it, especially if you love tequila like me! 

Overall the bill came to about £20 a head which, for London, is rather good! If I ever find myself in London again, I will definitely be making another visit to Wahaca!

Aloha! So I mentioned yesterday that last weekend I was visiting London as part of a Uni trip! 
We travelled down by train on the Saturday and had free time up until Monday morning! Unfortunately we got lost walking to the hotel so we ended up not having much time before heading out for dinner. I was a bit annoyed at this as I really wanted to go shopping! 

For dinner we headed out to a little Italian restaurant called Ciao Bella. The food was lovely, however with 25 of us cramming into a little restaurant, I was feeling awfully claustrophobic throughout dinner which resulted in me eating very little! Is it just me who gets totally put off food when I don't have plenty of space around me to eat it? I always feel like I'm choking if I'm eating in a cramped space! After dinner we went for a few drinks before heading back to the hotel for some sleep! 


On Sunday, we woke up early, keen to cram in a full day of sightseeing, shopping and eating! 
We went for a walk around Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace, then headed up to Trafalgar Square! I really wanted to go to Harrods to get a shopper bag for carrying my lunch to work in! Haha! 
After selecting a bag (naturally it has cats on it), I headed to the Westfield Shopping Centre at White City for a look around! I really wanted to go to American Eagle as I love their clothes and the only other time I get to go there is when I'm in the USA! I managed to grab a few sale bargains which was great! 
Afterwards we headed to Covent Garden where we were meeting my cousin and his girlfriend. We went to an awesome Belgian beer bar. It was so lovely to catch up with my cousin who I haven't seen since last summer! 
After 4 Fruli's, I was keen to get some food, and on the recommendation of my cousin's girlfriend, we went to Wahaca, a mexican street food place. I'm going to do a separate post on this, but let's just say it is amazing! 

Monday was our final day which was spent visiting the supreme court and the parliament, before heading to Kings Cross for our train home. 
So that was my short visit to London! 
Look out for my review of Wahaca later this week!

Aloha! Sorry I've not posted much lately! I was away last weekend and I've been catching up on sleep all week! 
So now it's back to reality, here is this week's SundayPost. 

- As I've mentioned, last weekend we had a weekend away! It was a Uni visit to London, intended to see the supreme court and parliament but we had a day and a half to ourselves too! I'll do a little post on what we got up to soon! 
- On Pancake Tuesday I made banana and nutella pancakes! Let me know if you'd like to see the recipe! 
- This week seems to have passed in a flash! Nothing exciting happened all week so I was determined to get out and do something this weekend! So after a little lie in yesterday, I headed to North Berwick, a seaside town about 25 miles from Edinburgh, with my little cousin, my auntie and my mum! We had a lovely wander along the beach, collecting shells for my cousin to make pictures with, then we stopped in a little tea room for tea and cakes before heading home! 
- Today is going to be spent writing up blog posts and finally making a start on my dissertation! 

So that is all I've been up to this week! 
Hope you all have a lovely week!
