Is it weird I love weather like this?

Anyway, my first full day here and I thought I start off with some street food

at one of the oldest markets in the world

Let's go

I'm here at the Borough Market which is some shape or form has been around for over a 1,000 years

I know this place is a little tourist-y but I also feel like is one of those places where you gotta visit

when you're in London and

right now i'm starving, it's got food, let's go eat.

there are a ton of food stalls here

the first thing i want since i'm in London

let's get a meat pie!

there's steak pie, bacon pie, chicken pie, ve-vegan pie

we'll stay away from that

pipin' hot gravy over mash potatoes

and this pie

my first meat pie in the UK

this thing apparently has everything in here

beef, bacon and pork

wonderful flaky crust

man, i'm in

oh this pie is ridiculously crusty

oh my gosh

that is a lot of filling

a lot of meat inside that pie crust

okay

this is gonna get really messy

because i'm tryna do this with one hand

but let's try this out

i totally just ruined the crust but let me just take a big o' bite here

ah

that first bite

that is exactly what i needed on a day like this

crust, crunchy and flaky

this pie

is just so

immensely meaty

mash potato is wonderfully creamy

maybe i shouldn't have started with this

because this is a really substantial meal

this is such a rustic dish

meat and potatoes and pie crust

but if you want a hearty, meaty, make you feel good

kind of dish especially on a cold, rainy day

don't have to look further than this

i don't typically do this but i got the vegan version as well

because this is the one that they won a bunch of awards for

and i got it without the gravy so i can really taste the crust

it's carrots, tomatoes, onions and all sorts of other veggies

and it's cooked in a red wine sauce

i think what make this so good

and it's a big part of it

is the buttery crust

and without the gravy dripping all over it

you can really tell how flaky and crispy and buttery the crust is

i don't know if you guys can hear the crunch but

you can put most things inside this crust and it would taste good

the filling

very tomato-y

very robust flavours

i think in terms of just pure flavours

this is better than the meat pie

can't believe i'm saying that right now

and it has lots to do with the gravy and sauce these veggies are cooked in

just so thick and flavourful and fragrant

that wrapped in a crispy pie crust

i can see why this is a winner

still wish there's some meat in here though

oh my god

check it out

roast hog

and

whoa

that is a whole roast hog

i can smell the spices cooking on this thing from here

this looks amazing

what i love about the market is there so much free samples too

you get to try the food and they're cooking up sausages here

wow, thank you

thank you

that be great

it's so charred on the outside, mm

this is the pork wrap and

wow, there's a lot of spices in this

i see a bunch of cumin coriander

and the pork is just ridiculously juicy and tender

i can tell just by squeezing on my hands!

and as you saw they put a lot of pork in this wrap

let's get a big o' bite

i adore this

wow

oh man

this is perfect in every single way

where you been all my life?

pork

extremely, extremely tender

and so so juicy

i mean usually when you see whole roast pig

what your biggest fear is that it's dry

not this

i mean this pork is moist as this country's weather

and what's so incredibly genius of them is that

they wrap some grains around the meat which not only prevented it from making the wrap all soggy

it provides that needed crunch

that sweet veggie relief from all the fat from the pork

my mouth is just filled

with juice from the pork

also there's some sort of apple sauce in here as well

that gives a little sweet, slightly tingy flavour

this thing is seemingly like a

like a

simple pork wrap but there's so much going on

and that's all on top on the deliciously roasted juicy pork

oh my gosh

oh

uh

speaking of uh

wet and moist

uh let's get out of here

ooh jeez

i'm not scared of the rain

i was just really tryna save this sandwich

next thing i got. scorched egg

this thing got cold really quickly

made with chorizo sausages on the outside

little salt and pepper

nice colouring in the egg. it's just

a little dry

it's actually pretty good

spicy, egg yolk's creamy

i think it would be much better if it was pipin' hot

love this spicy chorizo

love the crunch on the outside

also don't sleep on the baker's market

and this place suppose to have amazing donuts

ahh this is going to be awesome

uh homemade jam

and then the caramel please

i don't think i've been this excited about a donut for a long time

honey comb on this one

this is a jam

this is the caramel

and this is the combo

i'm starting with the combo

just from holding this in my hand, i know this is going to be a really airy doughnut

it feels so light

the cream inside tastes absolutely gorgeous

this one

can taste the different types of spices

the cream is soo cool

and not overly milky

and not overwhelming at all

it's almost like it's almost refreshing

the doughnut

you can see how airy this is

and i didn't even know there still was something inside this

the whole thing feels so incredibly light

and that goes to show how light the cream is

it's like angels made this and they floated down from heaven

there's rum raisin inside this as well

this is filled with homemade jam and this one feels like it has a little weight to it

none of that angelic cream inside of this doughnut

sweet and tangy and fresh raspberry jam

but i gotta say

definitely not as good as the cream

the caramel

these are probably the only doughnuts in the world that

the more you eat,

the lighter you become

the caramel cream inside

i just want someone to IV me up and pump this thing directly into my blood stream

that's my favourite

so obviously guys, if you're over here, this is the donut shop that you do not want to miss

get it?

do-not, donut

i'm sorry, it's all the sugar

this store is serving duck confit

this is my duck sandwich and it's just overflowing

never had a duck sandwich before but look how massive this thing is

there's a lot of bones in here!

the flavour is really good

but it's a bit on the dry side

let me try to bite from the middle

it's better

i like the chunni

again the overall flavour is on point

maybe if i got it in the beginning of the day would have been better

but right now, a lil dry

kind of disappointing

i had really really high hopes for this

i mean it looked really really good and i was really hoping for a greasy fatty bite of duck and

it just didn't happen here

i'm smelling something super cheesy

and look what i found

is that not the most beautiful bubbles you have ever seen

gotta eat this quick

this is far more cheese than the little club place that i went to in Paris

cheese with the rind over potatoes, salt and pepper, some pickles

that is creamy

potatoes seems to have a slightly grilled flavour

i just want to be hugged by that cheese

perfectly paired with the pickles

that just gets your mouth ready for another cheesy bite

quality of this cheese too

really fragrant, incredibly milky

perfect amount of saltiness

with these potatoes

this is actually a great balance plate of food

just when you think it's getting a little too cheesy,

even though it's not possible

the pickles brings you right back

there's some bites where the cheese a little toasty

god, i love burnt cheese

there are also a lot of stalls here obviously for the famous salsa beef sandwich

but i already got a place somewhere to go to for that so

im not going to have it here

i've been here about 2 hours now

and i feel like i've been pretty much eating non-stop

but how come i still feel so hungry

feel like i haven't been eating anything

i mean normally this is a good problem to have

but i spent a lot on food already

also

i love this market

there's ton of food stalls like fresh produce

and get that compared to other markets

it's pretty pricey but the food

most of what i had

extremely delicious

especially that pork sandwich and that doughnut

and i love the whole food vibe here

it seems like everybody's coming here for the sole purpose of eating

and everyone i met from the people eating here to the vendors are super super nice

it's almost like having a big meal with extended family

and that's the thing with food

it just makes you feel better, happier, is a great uniter of people

and guys, i'll list all the food stalls i went to in my description box below

thank you all so much for watching

until we eat again, see ya later

hi. it's 3.30 in the morning

and extremely jet lagged

and also

i-i can't help but feel like today is just incomplete

because i need that soft beef sandwich and

i know exactly where to go for it.

yeah, even at 3.30 in the morning

and here it is, beigel shop

over a 100 years old

open 24 hours a day

serving hot salt beef

this country definitely doesn't skimp on the meat in any of their sandwiches

here it is, beigel on a mountain of salted beef in the middle

couple pieces of pickles, some mustard

this is better than i thought

ridiculously juicy pastrami

not overly salty at all, perfectly seasoned

the pickles a little sweet and the crunchy texture really stand out

when you're biting into this tender, juicy piece of beef

this is the perfect combination of sweet, savoury and a little bite from the mustard

usually,

when i have a pastrami sandwich in the states, it's a little

too salty for me.
