Mexican adventure - brunch at Ojo de Agua

There are so many wonderful food options in Mexico City and on Sunday morning we headed to Ojo de Agua to have a slap up brunch. Lee was great at knowing the best things to order and got us molletes which is an amazing version of beans on toast, smothered in cheese. I also ordered avocado and truffle on toast, topped with a fried egg and washed down with a glorious fruit juice served in a massive glass jar. We sat outside overlooking the square where dogs were paddling in the pond. I loved the interior of the restaurant which had one big sharing table and lights made from bottles in crates.

Mexican adventure - brunch at LALO

First port of call in a new city has to be brunch and Lee knows of a fab place in Roma called LALO. It’s a short walk from his place and consists of one large table down the centre of the room with a funky mural along one wall. We were given scrumptious pastries as a starter and then I chose chilaquiles which consists of tortilla chips and salsa verde, avocado, cream, cheese and cilantro with a fried egg on top. Heaven! We were even serenaded by a passing mariachi band!

Happy Monday

A happy Monday to all on this rather confused English day! One minute the sun is shining and the next minute it's pouring down, like a tropical shower.

I hope a good weekend was had by all. Mine was another fab one, spent catching up with friends and family. On Saturday I headed over to to Forest Hill to catch up with my dear friend Faye. We've known each other since college, so it's been a loooong friendship.

After a few glasses of pink bubbly at her house, served up in beautiful vintage champagne glasses, we headed over to Lewisham to dip into the Model Market, a venue that is open every Friday and Saturday over the summer in a disused shopping centre.

There is a great selection of eateries to choose from as well as drinks. The sunset was amazing and there was some great music playing.

We started our gourmet feasting with the gorgeously crispy calamari at Ink, seasoned to perfection and served with an array of pastel coloured mayos to make your mouth water.

We then homed in on the Hot Box ribs, gorgeously sticky and smoked for 8 hours!

This was all washed down with a Dead Man's punch from the Rum Shack, whilst surveying the view below from the rooftop.

Thanks for a fab evening Faye, and my first foray into the nightlife of Lewisham!
