Thursday 24 August is like Christmas for fans of all things meaty. Mr Hyde’s National Burger Day hosted at Street Feast’s Hawker House in Canada Water was back for another year, celebrating the finest the burger world has to offer. Launched by Jamie Klingler 5 years ago it’s become a bit of a staple in the foodie calendar.
I couldn’t say it better than this man’s apron. Indian food is the most incredible combination of flavours and textures.
London street food kings KERB brought together the finest traders to coincide with the Southbank Centre’s (where this is based) festival on South Asian culture and arts.
We visited our favourites, Horn OK Please, whose dosas are so simple, but so delicious with an amazing combination of textures and flavours, and then went on to The Cheeky Indian for shredded crispy lamb with plum and mince lamb with peas. Not forgetting fragrant chai, smooth and creamy mango lassis and crispy bhajis that we also somehow found room for!
The market does tend to be a little short on seating but if you don’t mind exploring South Bank you can usually find a spot to make your own. It’s worth going down even when this particular festival isn’t on, as for the rest of the season it’s the turn of the Southbank Centre Food Market which has some equally stunning food from all around the world.
I already can’t wait until next year’s festival!
