jamaican food, crepes and shakespeare

adrian surprised me by taking me to a jamaican restaurant which he researched. he must have been tired of me reliving the tasty goodness of that jerk chicken we had at manchester this year, and i have been craving for that tasty jamaican recipe chicken, fried plantains,and red bean rice. since manchester is impossible to go to for just this craving,he researched one online for me. and took me there today.

the restaurant was tiny, and i could hardly call a resto, but mostly jamaican restaurant are so laid back and never a fine dining experience.

they ran out of fried plantains though, so we got prawn curry and roti (trinidadian style)..and of course, the famous jamaican jerk chicken and rice. yumm!..definitely a treat where im taking visitors in the future..(yoohoo, anyone wanting to visit me yet?).

overall, the meal was tasty considering it was really cheap=)

the tiny entrance


we also made the most of the day by going and doing the tour at the Globe theatre. we felt William was around in spirit. i learned so much today about him considering i did the same tour 5 years ago...and it helped that the tour lady (named Glenis) was the funniest tour lady that day. she had little anecdotes about the actors tha played in the theater, interspersed with history lecture.

at the embankment, adrian asked whether i was up for a crepe. did he really think id say "no" ?.

the ending, we had big portions of crepes.

hmmnn, i wonder whose order this was? LOL.


we were fully satiated with our pigging out. we decided to drop by earls court to get my "regular fix" from the filipino store.

we went home waddling like ballooned penguins, literally.

happy penguins at that.
