Buns Buns, which right from the start sounds nice and unique. It is an Asian restaurant with lots of appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. Right when the lady walked in, it looked like it was taken straight out of a magazine with perfect decorations, color schemes, and gold finishes. Every day they open at 9 am and Mo
nday through Thursday they close at 11:30. On Friday and Saturday they close at 12 am and on Sunday at 10:30 pm. The lady knew how to get there because she saw signs saying it was located in Covent Garden and that she had to go to the north entrance. She was amazed at how quick and convenient it was because it was right next to the entrance! There is no direct bathroom in the place, but the server told her about a code for a restroom she would be allowed to use located downstairs in Covent Garden.
This restaurant was a perfect place for her to relax after a ton of walking she did during the morning. The seats and floor had a cactus green tone to them topped with gold, which made her feel like she was in a 5-star restaurant that was located on a penthouse level! The service was amazing, fast, and relaxing enough so she could enjoy the environment around her and have comfort. She ordered a Spicy Tempura Shrimp starter which had a sauce that tasted like spicy cheese. To top off her food, she ordered the Crispy Chicken Buns which she overall liked. The soft, fluffy bun holding the chicken on it tasted like fresh pancakes her mom made for her as a kid for breakfast. The satay sauce topped with crushed peanuts was a taste of heaven. It was tangy, but creamy tasting at the same time! Overall, the lady enjoyed her stay here until the server for some odd reason began to grow a negative attitude on her!
For a delicious dessert, she headed outside of Covent Garden and headed in the direction of the National Gallery and Trafalgar Square. She couldn’t afford a high-priced dessert since lunch broke the bank for her! She landed at a place called Udderlicious which had gelato, shakes, brownies, and more. With the number of flavors there were, she found a gelato flavor for every color in the rainbow. She decided to get the chocolate brownie gelato which had the chewy soft brownies bit in it, and the milk chocolate heavenly taste. Since it was so small inside, she enjoyed her gelato outside and listened to the commotions and busy traffic noises of London streets.
For dinner, she went to this simple, quick, and inexpensive place called Zambrero. It is a chain restaurant in the United Kingdom, but she went to the Kentish Town location since it was so close to the Camden area. It is considered a Mexican restaurant but reminded her immensely of Chipotle. She ordered a regular-size chicken bowl, which cost about 8 pounds. The taste of the chicken was delicious, it was chopped, had some softness to it, and had a mild tang, which made it feel so authentically Mexican. The bowl was topped off with fresh lime juice, peppery white rice, lettuce, and delicious shredded cheese. The combination transported her to Mexico, where authentic greatness comes from! Her overall food journey for the day was spectacular, but the one thing she would warn other people about was the prices of the food in Covent Garden. She felt it was a tourist trap area, so if you go, she recommends just walking by Covent Garden.
