Went back for another Saturday morning exploration:
Started again at Fika:
- another cardamom latte and tried the Swedish Sunrise, basically a cardamom-dough bun with a vanilla custard - very nice, very cardamomy.
Next on to Patty King:
- callaloo patty (taro greens) - light traditional pastry, lovely stewed greens, good kick.
Then took out a chicken tamale from Latin Taste (no pic), a Peruvian place. It was moist and richly flavourful. A really good tamale.
Then sat on the patio of the Film Cafe:
- Tokyo omelette - comes in 8 pieces (mushroom, sun dried tomato, onion) with two red bean onigiri and a miso soup. The omelet was underflavoured. Also tried the smoked marshmallow mocha latte - OK but not actually smoky and too sweet.
Then we entered the Latin American food court at 214 Augusta:
- Pico de Gallo - suadero taco (no pic) - wonderful moist and flavourful beef with lime and raw onion.
- Ko’ox Hana - cochinita pibil taco - very nice pork, with avocado and pickled onion, not quite as flavourful as the beef though.
- La Chilaca - yellow pepper stuffed with cheese and slathered in pork - amazing! Slightly hot pepper, lovely packet of cheese, incredible moist pork.
- Birria Catrina - had the birria bowl: tasty stewed beef with broth, cilantro, onion, lime, and a feisty hot sauce. It came with some nice corn tortillas.
Lastly we took out from Rasta Pasta:
- took home a jerk chicken lasagna and heated it up the next day - very good standard lasagna with also very good jerk chicken nestled inside. The aroma was particularly interesting, part red sauce and part jerk spices.
Still have other places to try…
