Critic · Journalist — London cheap eats, Malaysian and wider Southeast Asian rooms, and the queue-and-wait reality of eating in them.
Senior Staff Writer, London, at The Infatuation, which SOURCES.md approves and `validator.py` carries as an approved domain. Same format as Jake Missing's: a byline, a published numeric score against a stated band, and a dish-by-dish rundown that names the fault.

“Walking through Russell Square without popping into this small takeaway bakery for a flaky sausage roll and custard and strawberry morning bun is unforgivable.”

“By 5pm the queue is 20-people long, and the staff, even with the stream of people, are smiley and welcoming.”

“They're self-proclaimed 'London-style' pizzas that fall somewhere between classic New York-style and Neapolitan. The toppings lean NYC, while the charred pillowy crusts and flop factor can lean slightly Neapolitan. Either way the thin pies are excellent.”

“This is more than just a burger. The elements that are soft are unbelievably soft (cc: meat, brioche bun) and the other parts are perfectly crisp (cc: pickles, fried shallots). The whole thing is a five-biter that'll leave you wanting more.”
