LSF On Tour: ordering a hot pot in 8 seconds at Singapore’s People’s Park Food Complex
8.45pm and a woman is talking at me, urging me to decide what I want to order for my hot pot. Things happen fast around here. “Lady, do you want meat? Fish? Vegetables? Which ones? Tell me quick!” Sensing the urgency, yet not speaking the language, I pick at random. Greens feature highly, as do pieces […]

London Street Foodie On Tour: Malaysian street food in Edinburgh
“How are you?” “I’m fine.” That response doesn’t really mean anything, does it? It can be a quick way out of having to go into detail about how everyone is doing your head in at the moment or how things are going swimmingly; it can be a defense mechanism to cover up melancholy or anger. […]

LSF on tour: finding Turkish street food down a back alley in Istanbul
Last week my incredibly talented artist cousin/close friend/ultimate dance partner Daisy Perkins – who having just left Pakistan is currently sketching her way round Istanbul – sent me a message.

Round the world through London street food: memories of 2015
‘When we eat, we travel,’ wrote fellow food writer and friend Mina Holland in her book The Edible Atlas. I’ve thought about that a lot since then, and especially in relation to this blog, because in London we are so lucky to be able to eat food from countries as close by as France or Spain, […]
