Borough Market food adventure!

I love love LOVE food markets! 

And Borough Market, a wholesale & retail food market in Central London, UK is one of my favorite!!!

It's been open since 1851, and it's not hard to see the charm that has endured centuries. :) 

Make sure you visit this market if you're ever in London!!! :) [Open on Thurs, Fri & Sat]

Closest tube station = London Bridge station :)

First pit stop! - Toulouse sausage! :) We were totally drugged by the whiff of grilled meats in the air! :)

Loads of award-winning pies, snacks and goodies all around! :-)

 The block of cheese is HUGEEEEEEEEE!!!

Love the fresh fruits, vegetables and produce available at Borough market :-) And they aren't expensive too!

Every time I go to Borough, I discover something new - such as these pink mushrooms!! :)

 Loadsa pastries and cakes and heavenly (uhm...sinful!) delights!

Derek cousin and I went around the entire market looking for THE LEGENDARY BROWNIE that his mom had bought for me the last time when I was working and couldn't join them. (my relatives are da' best!!! they are super endearingly sweet ^_^)

And we think we found it!!! ^_^ (not an easy task because every corner lurks a brownie stall claiming to be THE BEST!) ;p

Loadsa cool salami including my favorite truffle speck! :-) Those really saw me through some tough days in the office.

And OMGGGGGG, cheeses, cheeses everywhere!!!! :) 

Yes, that round table right there...it's actually a block of CHEESE!!!! 

I also got a chance to top-up on my flaxseed (also called linseed) supply! They are the best things to go with smoothies and I have them everyday for breakfast. Didn't know that flaxseed came in bushels like the one I'm holding (above)! :)

There's also plenty of fruit jams, balsamic vinegar, olive oil etc. available for you to freely taste :) But my oh my, they changed the layout of the market and I was on an uphill task to find THE ULTRA LEGENDARY TRUFFLE OIL (no kidding!) that I loved!!!! 

You can also buy ready-to-eat olives and sauces (I especially love the pesto sauce!), and find a wide variety of beer! 

One word to describe Borough market = VARIETY And really cool ones at that. Where else can you find Wild Thyme honey, Caramelised Apple Cheesecake and Blackberry & Cinnamon Truffle but to name a few? :)

Oh, and did I mention cool varieties extend to meats too?!?! Here you'll get zebra, springbok, kangaroo, reindeer, ostrich meat but to name a few...!!!

Whooohooooo Halloween's coming!! Garlics and pumpkins anyone? :)

Mom & all my relatives love Borough market because it's Bread paradise!!! :p I don't like bread, probably from being stuffed with too much of that when I was in school. I love garlic naan though ;)

Derek cousin, being quite a foodie too, took the chance to try the Greedy Goat Ice Cream. And it was actually pretty good!! :) You could instantly tell that it was made from fresh goat milk, but the taste and smell wasn't as odorous as one would expect. :)

  *Wheeeeeeee!*!!* Finally found the THE ULTRA LEGENDARY WHITE TRUFFLE OIL !!! 

This is seriously good stuff, cannot bluff!!!, must take photo to commemorate! ;p Actually it's more for Derek cousin & all you readers to know which one it is. It comes without label and is THE best truffle oil I've had in my ENTIRE life. (I'm quite a foodie yes? Seriously, this is better than any of the truffle oils in the rest of Borough market, and even the food markets I've been to in Italy!) 

Grabbed the *AMAZING* Acai Sublime smoothie before leaving and it's a well-spent Saturday morning! :)
