Camden Market London

The Mr. surprisingly decided to take a break from work last week. We decided to venture into the inserts of London in the hunt of some delicious and different yum! We had heard and read about this place a lot and it definitely was a pleasant surprise.

Just as we approached the market the smell of amazing concoction of flavours just set our appetite racing. The main food fest area was set by the beautiful Thames that made the whole experience even more memorable. Rows of shop serving piping hot exquisite cuisine from Latin American to South Asian you name it. The icing on the cake was they tasted really authentic which is always something you tend to miss when trying to on dishes in famous restaurants; all the flavours had a fresh feel to it.  We started from one side of rows….This is where we saw this stall selling these Turkish Lahmacuns.
