Far East Hawker in London

I think I have found my perfect job. I am working remotely at the London office of a magazine publisher based in Worcester.

You can even get kimchi for 95p. And stir-fried garlic morning glory (water spinach) for £4.95, Pho, nyonga chicken & lime curry…you can get curry from Thailand, Vietnam, Phillipines, Japan, Singapore. Korean chapchae (fried noodles), Japanese udon, Pad Thai, Vietnamese Pho Xao Bo. Gado Gado, gyoza, tempura… You can drink fresh lime soda or a Singapore Sling, and have sticky rice desserts with a Vietnamese coffee.

What more could a girl want from a job?! Company? A lunch date would be nice – but only because I can try more dishes! (Beverley, are you on the train yet? I’m in Rathbone Place.)
