I’ve been procrastinating when it comes to my travel posts. It’s been almost 5 months since my trip to London and Paris…and I have only blogged about London Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3. *smacks self* This is going to be a picture loaded post on London Day 4…

Oriental Canteen is a tiny restaurant near the South Kensington tube station. I stumbled upon this place when I was at The Kensington Creperie, but didn’t give it much thought as my aim was to eat crepes. But my chinaman brother wanted to eat rice, after 4 days of sandwiches…
