I was wondering why I got to work so smoothly the week before…it was half-term, of course.
Not so this week, of course, with delays every step of the way.
But it was the first sunny day of spring (well, winter) so who cares. Everyone happy. Everything good. Even office. Maybe.
Given the sunshine, I decided to eat outdoors at Katsu King – one of the food trucks on the Paddington Basin canal.
For my tastes, it was a choice between katsu salad or katsu fries, so I went for the slightly healthier option.
The salad was a mixture of salad leaves and grated cabbage – it added crunch but nothing else.
The crispy chicken wasn’t so crispy with the katsu sauce on – the sauce kind of reminded me of the taste of gravy, though neither of these should be considered a criticism.
Indeed, the chicken was really nicely fried, where there was no sauce, the crumb was crunchy, and satisfying.
Some sriracha sauce on top – not especially hot or spicy, and some coriander gave it some fragrance.
Priced at £9.50. Pretty decent, I’d say. Katsu King is worth a whirl.
My score of 7.20.
And then a bird shat on me. Bring back the rain and indoor dining.
