HELLO LONDON | JUDI JACKSON – LAFAYETTE

Hello Beautiful Souls! Live music and London are both words you find inevitable in sentences. Wherever you go, you will find [some] live music in most of the speakeasy bars or event venues. These two things are one of the many reasons I love London.

If you go to one, you will find many others live music venues. Judi Jackson, I found it by accident last year during the Brick Lane Jazz Festival. She has an incredible voice and lovely energy. When I found out she was doing another concert later in the year, I had to buy tickets.

The opening of Judi Jackson’s concert was by Amy Gadiaga. She has such a [vibrant] jazzy voice. She sang in English, French and Spanish. A very talented black artist Amy. She is a bassist and singer-songwriter.

After Amy, Judi Jackson came out and gave an energetic performance. I love her new album ‘Grace’. LaFayette is a cosy event venue hidden in Goodsway Bar in Pancras Square.

See some highlights of the evening on my Instagram.

HELLO LONDON | BAO KINGS CROSS

Hello Beautiful Souls, Welcome to another weekly blog post on Miss Widjaja.com. During this period, I finally got time to try another restaurant in the Bao chain in London, Bao Kings Cross.

You all know I love fluffy bao buns. The buns here are just that. I like to try different fillings of the buns they have in each restaurant. For example, Bao Soho is great for their Confit pork Bao. [Mouthwatering]. At Bao Noodles, I would [definitely] try the noodles. The prawn and Classic buns were both yummy at this place.

So what did I try at Kings Cross? I tried the Beef Short Rib bun. It was on point and delicious. I think they are famous for their rice plates at this restaurant. One I should try next is the forty-day-aged Beef, Tapei Butter Rice, which is only available at this location. The inside of the restaurant looks so authentic. It is a reimage of nostalgic Taiwan. This restaurant is the busiest so far. It might be because it is at Pancras Square, which has [already] a lot of traffic because of its location.

HELLO LONDON | YUM BUN SPITALFIELDS MARKET

Hello Beautiful Souls! It is time for another food blog post at the Food Corner. There is a trend going on here on the food blogs because this is another fluffy bun discovery in Spitalfields Market. I love steamed buns, especially with lovely nourishing fillings. If you feel me, look no further!

Yum Bun is a stall in the lovely Spitalfields Market. You will find them on a corner and near Dumpling Shack. It is just the other side in the corner. You can choose from their melting slow-roasted pork belly, Japanese fried chicken and two vegan options (Tofu or Mushroom).

They sell their buns for a great value [£5,- each or two for the price of £9,50 or go for the value pack box which is £10,-]. Another surprisingly delicious thing here is the fresh passionfruit iced jasmine tea. It is heaven if you are a passionfruit lover like me. Trust me.

HELLO LONDON | BUNHILL FIELDS CEMETERY

Hello Beautiful Souls, how are you doing this week? Are you ready for another weekly blog post? This week’s blog post is unexpected and might be interesting if you are in the neighbourhood of Islington.

The Bunhill Fields is a formal burial ground in the borough of Islington in use from 1665 until 1854. Walking passed this burial ground almost feels like a scary old movie. You can find some famous names buried here like, Daniel Defoe of his novel Robinson Crusoe and the artist and poet William Blake.

The Bunhill Fields is a community garden. So feel free to pass by these old graves if you are in the city centre.
