I think I'm a romanticist. At least I think that's the right word for it.
Constantly got my head in the clouds, dreaming.
I get so into the romantic gestures of the relationships on TV programmes I watch or in novels I read.
I don't know whether life can be that extravagantly romanticised but it's the little things that count.
Leading on from this, I've had another fab weekend with Adeel.
Maybe I'm just feeling more loving because our fourth anniversary is coming up or maybe I'm happy we got past the bumps in the road that prevented us last time.
Or maybeeee I just love him a lotta lot 🙊
Anyway, we unexpectedly went out for a spot of lunch today.
The reason it was so unexpected was because 1) I hadn't even expected to see him today as he'd been unwell and 2) I'm not very spontaneous, especially when it comes to trying new places or even eating out.
We tried a little ol' Mexican restaurant called Wahaca, right next to Westfield in Stratford.
I have to say I was a little dubious at first.
As we walked in the tables reminded me of something you would see in a canteen or a cafe you would stop by in for a quick bite.
But, as I looked around I noticed little touches of eccentric, abstract beauty.
Vibrant, intriguing graffiti plasters a portion of the ceiling. Retro-like prints line the toilet doors eloquently named Kings and Queens depending on your gender. White panels of wood contrast beautifully with the patterned floor.
The atmosphere was perfect. I didn't once feel uncomfortable or like I was being bothered by any of the staff. In fact, the staff welcomed us warmly and helped with any of our questions.
And, now, the food.
My God, the first bite went in for both myself and Adeel and we were in awe.
Similar to The Real Greek, you can order a handful of smaller dishes (known aptly as Street Food) or a normal sized portion as in any other restaurant (known as Bigger Food).
Adeel chose Ancho Chicken Baja Tacos, two amazing, soft tortillas filled with a slightly spicy and smoky chicken, and Smoky Chipotle Chicken Quesadillas, more chicken in a beautifully spiced tomato sauce on top of a toasted tortilla.
I went for Smoky Chicken & Avocado Tostadas, a cold dish of chicken and guacamole slathered with mayo and plopped on top of a crunchy tortilla, and Sweet Potato & Feta Taquitos, crispy tortillas rolled into cigar shapes and filled with sweet potato, covered in salsa, mayo and feta.
We also shared some sweet potato bites, perfectly smoky and crunchy, and a Virgin Mojito, the freshest and most revitalising mocktail I've ever had.
And all for a reasonable price too.
They also have a snazzy app you can download to pay your bill on instead of having to wait around for your waiter to assist you.
The easiest, quickest meal I've had in a long while and the flavours were amazing too.
Perfect.
