Pub-lick Offerings

We spent the whole day as tourists with a mediocre pub lunch followed by a hardcore walking itinerary from the castle, across the grandeur London Tower and Bridge to the other bank for a visit of the modern Tate museum (for the many contemporary collections by Frida, Andy Warhol, Mondian, Picasso etc.) The weather was fantastic and it was rather breezy but as we approached the London Eye where we were supposed to meet Kwok and the rest, it started to drizzle. A good thing we had bought advance tickets (12 pounds) so we got on quickly as the rain cleared to reveal a rainbow across the grey panorama.

Later that evening, Kwok and String brought us to their local pub called The Ship just by the bank in the Battersea area. One of the greatest pleasures about holidays must be the food indulgences. So being here, we made it a point to try the pub grub (and beer!) at every chance we got. While they had the bbq offerings, I salivated over my rather posh plate of smoked bacon-wrapped chicken stuffed with wild mushrooms and boursin with sweet potato mash. Ahh, sounds and looks absolutely mmaaarvelous eh? :)
