OJT EATS | The Eight

It was back down to Earth (well London) with a bump this week. Weirdly though, after having spent so much time in Asia, despite have some pretty major cravings for good authentic non-Asian, we found we weren't actually completely tired of Asian food and went for a stroll down Chinatown. We got peckish and ended up walking into The Eight.

Being a Cantonese diner, we had to get the roast duck and crispy roast pork belly. While the roast duck wasn't quite up to the standard of our favourite place in London (that's the Four Seasons just around the corner in Chinatown), it was still very good and the pork belly was pretty impressive too!

This was a seafood rice dish with an omelette on top. The egg was pretty tender and not rubbery which it often can be. There was a good amount of prawns on the plate and the whole thing came with a pretty tasty sauce. This was a pretty good dish and not a bad option if you are looking for a simple and quick meal.

Lastly, this was The Eight's signature sandwich. The bun is a pinepple bun and in it, there's spam, cheese, an egg and a bit of veg. I have to admit, I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. We don't eat spam very often but every now and then, it can hit the spot.

All in all, this was a pretty enjoyable meal. It still didn't quite match up to what you can get in Asia, especially on price but when you're craving a cantonese diner meal, you could do a lot worse than coming here.

The Eight, 68-70 Shaftesbury Ave, London W1D 6LZ

Cheers, JL
