"Tetote Factory is one of London’s best Japanese bakeries. If you’re not a local, it’s a fair walk from Ealing Broadway and far enough from South Ealing station for you not to stumble across it, but you should absolutely seek it out. It’s a grab-and-go, “sorry, ‘scuse me, I’ll wait outside” kind of space. But you’ll still find yourself spending a lot of time here, pacing back and forth trying to decide between the tempting beige bakes stacked on wooden shelves. Our go-to order is the sweet, pillowy, and comforting tuna and corn bun, with a puck of perfectly caramelised honey butter toast for afters. And if the tasty bakes put you in the mood to part with more money (they probably will), Tetote sells some beautiful, delicate ceramics too. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Honey Butter Toast We don’t know what other people are talking about when they say “the circle of life”, but this is what we mean. A crisp, caramelised outer layer gives way to soft, honey-soaked bread. It’s perfect. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Kara-age Fried Chicken Sandwich This fried chicken sandwich is pleasant enough—the chicken is nice and juicy and it’s a manageable palm-sized amount—but it’s not especially memorable. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Tuna & Corn Bun This bun reminds us of why tuna sweetcorn is a superior sandwich filling. The tuna is creamy, but hasn’t turned into a pasty mess, the corn adds some nice crunch and sweetness, which pairs well with the also sweet and fluffy bun. A perfect lunch. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Sinéad Cranna
