Petit Chéri ♥: A Taste of London

London. The last time I and Jobert were here was to see the breathtaking sights of this vibrant, multi-racial city. It was cold, wet and grey too. This time, we were not as curious of the sights and sounds as we used to anymore, instead, we came back for only thing: retail therapy. The weather was the best ever. The sun was beaming all day and the city itself is filled with tourists and shoppers alike.
We went to Portobello Market to buy my well-loved Nenuco. The Portobello Road is as famous as the market itself as it is where the film Notting Hill was shot. It's also the place where both Jobert and I were nearly ran over by Kate Moss' black Range Rover. The white painted apartments can be visibly seen through slit eyes as the sun blinds our vision. In one manicured garden, I noticed a father and daughter perched on their antique bench under the thick foliage both engrossed in their reading materials and both oblivious to the din of the passers-by. Walking towards the end of the road is the tiny Spanish store where Nenuco is sold. We bought loads.
As we got out of the gloomy and humid underground tube, a warm blue sky and the purity of the sun welcomed us. We went to Trafalgar Square first to rest our aching feet. True enough, the fountain with its blast of cool water was enticing us to get wet. Ah, it was pure bliss.
We had lunch at the quaint French restaurant in Soho district. It was our first time and the food was superb. I will definitely be coming back for more.
I love this city. Although you got to have the perfect pins to do all the strenuous walking, it has everything you want to see and more.
