Street Feast is Back.....

Finally its that time of year again, the sun is out and everyone is in a summer mood, staying up later, eating delicious food and socialising with friends. I love the summer for all of these reasons, however for me the main highlight is the return of 'Street Feast'!

For those of you who have not heard of 'Street Feast' before it is held in Dalston Yard in East London. It is open between the beginning of May and the last weekend of September.  'Street Feast' is a celebration of the best 'Street Food' in London and with around 20 stalls it is very hard to choose from! Walking into an old warehouse, half open and half covered there are large fire pits everywhere, a tequila bar set in a tree house and rum, cocktail and czech beer bars dotted around amongst the food. 

The atmosphere is buzzing full of young trendy foodies who are out with their friends for some good food and a fun night!

After eating a huge amount of food I managed to work my way around the stalls and here are a few of my favourite...

B.O.Bs Lobster

Set up in a modernised Volkswagen RV with waiters and chefs dressed in black tie, this stall immediately caught my eye!  I love lobster and particularly lobster rolls.  However, this was no ordinary 'Lobster roll'.  It was a beautifully toasted brioche roll, spread with gorgeous homemade mayonnaise, crammed with fresh melt in the mouth lobster meat and then painted with a slick of oregano butter on top, making this the most delicious lobster roll ever!

As I am sure some of you know I would say Mexican food has to be one of my favourite cuisines, so it will come as no surprise to you that I am obsessed with this taco place...

Breddos Tacos...

These amazing soft tacos were filled with the perfect amount of crunch, creaminess, sourness and spice. The first one I tasted was their 'Crunch Coated Chicken'. The chicken was juicy and tender with an amazing crunchy nut coating, and was complimented to perfection with the tangy salsa and homemade arbol chilli mayonnaise. I followed it by the 'Bavette Steak Taco' which was fantastic, the rich fatty taste of the red meat was cut through perfectly by the sourness of the lime and subtle spice of the green chilli (definitely my favourite).  The last one was the Baja fish taco, deep fried battered fish which was light, crispy and delicate, wrapped up in the soft taco with a crunchy slaw, spicy salsa and a creamy sour cream to finish it off....put it this way I cannot wait to go back again this Friday!

Due to it being quite dark in 'Street Feast', unfortunately as you can see below on my photo, the quality is awful so thank you to Google and the photographers that uploaded all of the other stunning photos on this post.

After several hours of tasting I finished off the night with some sensational Indian Street Food made by... 

Rola Wala.

I love Indian food and after working for an Indian family for a while, and travelling around India for three months I have been lucky enough to have tried food from many different regions and to also have been taught how to cook a variety of dishes. There are so many flavours that go into Indian cooking, however it still amazes me that Indians cook with their same set of spices every day yet manage to create so many different flavour combinations and dishes out of the same spices. 

This street food stall is a flavour explosion... they have been named runner up for 'Best Street Food' and Zagat named them 'Top 5 next wave names to know'.

Using up to 43 different ingredients in each naan wrap and sourcing their ingredients from lovely suppliers such as the 'Rare Breed Meat Co' and 'Anna's Happy Trotters' this company knows the importance of eating well, supporting good animal welfare, and most of all the difference in taste a happy animal gives to us.

Their Beetroot Chana Dal cooked with coconut and their special masala mix is to die for, and heaven for any veggies, whilst their 'Goan Pulled Pork' free range from Yorkshire, cooked for 12 hours with a southern Indian twist in phenomenal!

These delicious toppings are all piled on top of light, fluffy, flavoursome naan bread.... What a way to end my evening!
