Full-frame. Canon 5D Mark II – haven’t actually taken it ‘out’ out yet for a proper photography trip, need to purchase a camera bag first. Apologies for the lack of Yin Eats in the past week, it’s been a hectic few days and the last thing to worry about was what I was going to eat for lunch so most days I ended up missing it or eating soup. Although this isn’t the first time I’ve been to Benugo, it’s the first time I’ve eaten there – usually I pass through there en-route to work to get an extra strong coffee. Yesterday, I had an early lunch meeting at 12 and no breakfast meant I needed to get something in ma belly – the Andalucian sandwich caught my attention at the till. It’s not the cheapest of sandwiches and certainly not the biggest. More on the reverse.

Woi. I’m back. Actually shot this a few days ago but haven’t had a chance to post. You’ve probably noticed the lack of posts from me in the past few days, that’s mainly down to work chaos and my girlfriend leaving the country till new year so spent time with her, as you do. So I challenged myself to explore the Great Portland St/Goodge St area for new lunch spots every 2-3 days and I came across this mini market spot near Goodge St. More on the reverse.

Introducing a new series of food posts titled Yin Eats here on Y&Y. The main concept behind Yin eats is to give you an insight into all the new places I discover in and around Central London during my lunch break. I’ve set myself the task of having lunch at a new spot every few days – I’d love to do everyday but you know with project deadline days that’s just not going to happen. I’ll photograph and um, rate the meal out of 5. Starting off with this Christmas special from Yo! Sushi; the Xmas tree sushi takeaway box. Nope, no turkey, no gravy, no mince pies but this is Japanese sushi-fied Christmas. See how after the cut.

I think it’s safe to say most people have heard of/been to Apostrophe whether on your lunch break or just a visit, I always remember them for their extremely thick and creamy hot chocolate! Celebrating 10 years since the launch of it’s first store in Shoreditch, the capital’s leading cafe will be launching a range of initiatives in the coming year including breakfast deals and a loyalty card.

I went to an Oyster shucking event at Patara, a thai restaurant on Greek Street, Soho. I had never tasted or even held and oyster before I attended this event and I to be honest, I wasn’t exactly dying to try them either. But I’m glad i did, now I know I don’t like them in their pure state but when deep fried…I’ll order a dozen. I also learnt how to effectively kill oysters and arrange them neatly to be devoured.

First spotted this restaurant chain a few months ago in Angel, with a broke-ass waiting for student loan to drop budget – it was the best to place to go. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and price, this time we were invited to review the new branch of Banana Tree in Soho. Located right next to Byron and Wahaca – my favourite area for lunch after work, the area is filled with great restaurants. We were given £60 credit which is a LOT when you can get dinner for around £10 so we had to go for 3-course dinner + 2 drinks each. They don’t do desserts! More on the reverse.
