Last Friday, a few of us from the Y&Y family headed down to Brick Lane for Street Feast. Located just off the lane on Sclater street, Street Feast is a new open air night food market that launched a week ago. It plays host to a few of London’s leading street food traders including Big Apple Hot Dogs, Homeslice, Bhangra Burgers, Kimchi Cult and co. Trust me, the range of food on offer will make you drool – everything from spicy Indian burgers to hardcore prawns to hotribs – you name it, they’ve got it. I definitely recommend checking it out on a warm summer’s evening otherwise you’ll end up shivering as you try destroy a burrito. More on the reverse.

Went down to Guildford to eat at Cau restaurant. Cau, pronounced ‘cow’ specialise in Argentine steaks and owned by the same company that bring us the swanky bar/eatery that is Gaucho, the restaurant use the same quality of beef. Based just a little outside of London in Guildford, if you’re around then you need to visit- or else you’ll have to take a small trip if you fancy eating here!

It’s been a while! I am SLACKING. Work has been a lot more hectic recently, spreading myself over a few more accounts and projects which means lunches have been lazy or non-existent. All of you must have THAT one place/piece of food that you go for when you can’t be bothered to walk an extra mile to find proper lunch, well this is mine. I’ve had this baguette at least 30 times in the past 6 months. Hop on after the cut.

…salad *immature laughter* gets me every time! Yin Eats is back, went on a bit of a slump in recent weeks with countless number of Pret baguettes being bought. The lazy option. I ended up going to a healthy eating spot Tossed today, on that healthy hype – sort of. Yang recommended this place to me a few months back, so finally decided to check out what was so special about it. I’d always walk past it, put off by the name haha. Ended up getting the Yin salad, fully customised by one self. Sort of sounds wrong and no they didn’t toss it for me o_O More on the reverse.

HA. Schnitzel – the word makes me laugh for no reason. I actually thought it was some kind of dog meat :| but the dictionary tells me otherwise: A thin cutlet of veal, usually seasoned, that is dipped in batter and fried. Haha how foolish of me. MakeMine is a bespoke sandwich service that caters to your exact wants and taste buds. I stumbled across it during my second week of work back in June but haven’t been back since. Only down to the fact that I went for the same option twice in a row and the second time I wasn’t too impressed with it. Having not featured it on Yin Eats, I decided to go back and try something different. The Schnitzel.

You see how the last Yin Eats post was rather healthy? I’ve gone and ate the complete opposite, a carbs filled club sandwich from Little Portland Café. A nearby eatery which isn’t your most swanky, it’s your average bog standard cafe but located in Central London. I’ve always walked by it whilst enroute to Prét, EAT and McDonalds (once, the shame!) but never wandered in till last Thursday. I was baffled by the menu, there is so much on offer – luckily for me, my friend @yomistercee of UglyKidsClub walked in and I asked him for a recommendation. More on the reverse.

Yin Eats is back! After a long festive and first week of work madness hiatus, I’ve finally started having lunches that require to explore around the area near my work again. My Geordie colleague (@JenMeant) who is wannabe a fitness/health freak treated me to lunch – we were initially going to go to Yo! for some sushi but that’d break the Yin’s Life rule of trying out somewhere new. After a good 10 minutes of food spot hunting, we found Yog. I’ve always been fond of frozen yoghurt but never thought I’d eat it for LUNCH. More on the reverse.
