Today I ventured to East London to take some photographs for a 'Eat Me' food review. The restaurant I went to is called Puji Puji and it's in Dalston. It was about a ten minute walk from the tube, but it was worth the walk. It is a small restaurant serving Malaysian food.

Meat Easy

Today I went to a burger restaurant in New Cross called 'Meat Easy' for 'Eat Me' magazine. I arrived outside a pub in New Cross looking for the restaurant. After triple checking the address I realized the restaurant is actually above the pub. The restaurant definitely had character and the staff were so lovely. They couldn't do enough to make sure I was ok. Here's a few of my shots of the restaurant:
