What the creator captured
Harrison Webb was pleasantly surprised by the unique combination of lamb, rice, and banana at a Somali restaurant recommended by a stranger. While he found the roast beef sandwich a bit heavy on horseradish, he highly praised the quality of the Reuben salt beef sandwich. The experience challenged his palate, even leading him to consider pairing bananas with more savory dishes in the future.

Local tips
- Always stand on the right side of escalators in the Underground to allow commuters to pass on the left.
- Pay for all public transport using a contactless card or mobile device, as buses do not accept cash.
- Check both directions when crossing the street and look for 'Look Left' or 'Look Right' markings on the pavement.
- Tipping is generally expected at around 10-12.5% in sit-down restaurants, but check if a service charge is already included in the bill.
