Ukai Sushi

Soft shell crab tempura @ Ukai Sushi.

Omelette nigiri for two. Ukai Sushi is where all the hip and cool kids eat at :P. They even had a DJ!

Tuna tataki

Tuna and avocado roll w. inoki mushrooms.

Salmon, cream cheese, and herb-y maki roll. It was alright.. the herbs definitely masked the salmon. I could barely taste anything!

Breakfast:

Wholegrain 1/2 bagel w. garlic light cream cheese

Yogurt bowl w. raspberries, strawberries, and grapes

Lunch was a bed of rocket and chard with quinoa and oven baked salmon

bread pudding

Bread pudding for breakfast anyone? Bueller??..

Hot Diggity Dawg! Most brillant breakfast idea ever. I got the recipe off allrecipes.com. I used the leftover bauguette we had from the picnic. The picnic is the picnic that keeps on giving!

http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/bread-pudding-ii/Detail.aspx The top looks a bit more burnt than it tasted but it was very yummy, all gooey and warm in the middle

The best part was that the house smelled like cinnamon the entire morning :)

I may not may have helped myself to a second slice w. seeds and germ on top. :P

I love these innocent smoothies. So delicious and I don't have to mess up my blender.

Lunch: leftovers yet again!

I swear I've eaten all the turkey/soba noodles I had left this week.

I'm so excited about my coconut water. It has lots of potassium and is great for rehydration. Now if only I can start running again, maybe it will come in handy! lol...

Salsa time!!

Trying something new..

This has to be the oddest combination for dinner I've ever had. Last night's dinner was weird but surprisingly just what I wanted.

Sweet potato fries seasoned w. evoo, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, baked beans, and already cooked shrimp from Marks and Sparks (leftovers from the picnic)

My life lately has consisted of Breakfast, Zumba, Lunch, Zumba, rest, Dinner, catch up on TV

Aranciata makes life all better!

and roasted veggies for lunch

Mid afternoon protein smoothie w. extra raspberries for that lovely pink color!

Injera bread; a sour tasting flat bread that you use to scoop up the food.

I finally had Ethiopian food tonight. I was super excited to try something different and something I've never had before! and shh... I was also secretly excited about having an excuse to eat w. my hands. Who can say they ever got permission to eat with their fingers at the dinner table. Woo hoo!

The injera looks and tastes spongy in texture. I really liked it!

They also place the food onto the Injera so it has a chance to soak up the different flavors of the food while we eat off of it.

We ordered a spicy lamb, chicken, and vegetable dish. The flavors were all very unique and tasty. My mouth was on FIRE!

Lamb sambusa

T demonstrating how to use the Injera bread to eat the food. Yum!

Karavas

Minestrone soup @ The Spaghetti House. The soup looks really good with all those veggies but it needed lots of pepper and salt and I still don't think it tasted that great.

Calamari

T's garlic shrimp and pistachio pasta

My spaghetti bolognese. The food was alright but the service was TERRIBLE! It took forever for the food to arrive and we were left with empty water glasses. Hmph.. chalk it up to London service!

Dinner was @ Karavas. A greek restaurant in Camden.

We ordered the fish meza platter.

Everything was delicious!

My humongo plate

grilled fish platter with some calamari and fried sardines. "Hey, why are their onion rings on the plate?"- oops!! hehehe

Feta salad

Greek delights!

Another omelette for breakfast filled with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.

You can kinda taste the omelette below all the seeds! :P

Leftovers for lunch w. some sparkling juice.

Zumba song of the day: "Cuando Pasara"- Menudo
