Today I had the ultimate experience - the real deal - a steamed vegetable bun at the very back of Chinatown, in a narrow street as you walk towards Charing Cross Road. For just £1, it was the best snack I've had in a long time - fluffy, tasty, fresh. Much better than the mediocre, tired food served in many restaurants.
Any more street food ideas? Here's what I found around the Internet ...
They say everyone should try jellied eels before leaving London. Hmm ... I think I'm far too squemish for that.

I've not tried the steamed buns from this stall before. Back in Singapore, the meat version would cost around 80p while the same in London goes for 2 quid. I know I should compare but hey, I rather top up a quid more and get a hotdog bun. :)
There is a simple solution to that mindset, C K. Earn in pounds, spend in pounds. But these days I find myself converting things into pounds in my head when I go back to the Czech Republic - it seems I have been here far too long!
