MilkTrain Review

Hiya!

Recently I've seen alot of my friends post images of Ice-cream from MilkTrain and everytime I saw it my mouth would be like a river so I had to go and try it out for myself and I was NOT dissappointed.

 Hojicha Ice Cream with Candy floss

I was kind of foolish and assumed this was chocolate but what I got instead was something far more tasty. This is a black tea ice cream which for some reason worked pretty well. At first it was bitter but once you have it with the chocolate syrup and popcorn it tastes AMAZING!

Vanilla Cookie & Creams Ice Cream

S ordered this tasty ice-cream but he didn't want the candyfloss (Mr Boring LOL). I loved it! It wasn't too sweet and there was alot of yummy toppings.

I would recommend you visit MilkTrain in Covent Garden if you're in London! The staff are friendly and best of all it doesn't cost an arm or a leg so you can get all 3 flavours if you want! The candyfloss is an extra charge but you just have to get it! Its so unique and the soft serve ice-creams just so yummy! Everything is made fresh including the candyfloss! 

I hope you get a chance to try this yummy place and don't forget to check them out:-

Urban Ice Woolwich

Hiya!

Urban Ice finally opened in Woolwich! OMG! You don't understand how long I waited for them to open! lol

I visited them on their opening day with Z and A.

Bubblegum Blast Sundae (£6.45)

A ordered this. It was the best bubblegum tasting sundae I've tried so far! It wasn't overly sweet and the bubblegum ice-cream tasted like the million sweets. I liked how they had two different coloured bubblegum ice-cream, pink and blue. It was very unique.

Oreo Sundae (£5.95)

No prizes for guessing who this sundae belonged to lol. Z didn't even look at the menu and asked for an Oreo sundae. I had to stop him from finishing it because it was just so much.

Nutella Freakshake (£8.95)

TAH-DAH! This is a Freak Shake and OMG! It was scary to look at! LOL I ordered this because I wanted to try their speciality. This monster of a shake contained a very thick Nutella blended milkshake with lots of Nutella spread around the glass mug which acted as a glue to stick the sugared ring doughnut. Within the doughnut hole they filled it with cream to help stick the cupcake! This was one crazy dessert and I did NOT finish this! LOL No where near! 

I had to take everything apart to try everything out and once I cut into the cake I found this..

Yup! Its filled with Nutella! lol I tried a bit of everything but I had to scoop the milkshake up because it was so thick! I used a straw at first but it was that thick it wasn't budging.

I loved this place so much I went back the very next day but for a takeaway.

Oreo Cheesecake (£3.45) & Caramel Tart (£2.95)

Z asked for another Oreo product and this time he asked for an Oreo Cheesecake which he demolished within 5 minutes! LOL. I love Caramel tarts due to the memories it brings. Remember school dinners? LOL yup! Fun times! The tart wasn't very sweet as it was a thin layer of caramel which worked perfectly. I didn't get the custard as it costed £1 extra and by the time I got it home it'd be cold so I just made my own custard.

Caramel Tart (£2.95) & Strawberry and Queen Cheesecake (£3.45)

This cheesecake was soooooo good!! The strawberries was a bit tart but worked amazingly well with the sweet white chocolate. The base wasn't soggy and very crispy.

Thick Shakes : 3 x Areo Mint, Nutella, Crunchie, After Eight and White Kinder Bueno. (Reg. £2.95)

We went to Urban Ice especially for these shakes but ended up getting the caramel tart and cheesecakes LOL. I tried all of the flavours and I prefer the Areo Mint one as it was refreshing. The shakes wasn't as thick as the Freak Shake which made it easier to drink. The one I liked least was the Nutella one as it was overly sweet so I had to add some milk to take some of that sweetness away.

Overall I will visit Urban Ice again because its closer and also because the staff there are so friendly and welcoming.

Kaspas Catford

Hiya!

Happy Mother's Day!!

As a treat we went to Kaspas in Catford for dessert. Yum!

Z got a Chocoholic. They called this a sundae but it came in an Italian wafer basket. There was a scoop of chocolate ice cream and a scoop of caramel ice cream. It says that you get a scoop of vanilla ice cream but you get a whip of ice cream which just tastes like milk. Z doesn't normally eat nuts but he loved it! There was  alot of chocolate syrup but it was mainly on the plate so he gave up scooping it off the plate. There was also a chocolate cup filled with even more ice cream!   

S got the Strawberry Delight Waffle. It was a waffle topped with fresh strawberries, chocolate shavings and drizzled with chocolate syrup. The waffle was nice and warm and soft.

S got a Banaoffee and Nutella crepe. S loved her crepe and also paid extra to add M&Ms.

C had the Bananaberry crepe. It was a crepe topped with banana slices and fresh strawberry slices. She didn't enjoy her dessert as the chocolate syrup was very bitter.

I ordered a slice of Ferrero Rocher cake. I asked about it as it wasn't on the menu but the girl behind the counter had no idea what was in it and I thought I'd take a chance on it but I was so wrong. The butter icing was not sweet, the chocolate was stale and between the sponge layer was a thin layer of cherry liquor and it just tasted wrong! It tasted very alcoholic! Z loves Ferrero Rocher and luckily I didn't give him any. I didn't manage to finish it! I did finish the ice cream as I did have to pay extra for it. 

What's you favourite dessert?

JRC Global Buffet Ilford

Hi!

We visited JRC Global Buffet in Ilford. Its reasonably priced as the price includes soft drinks and hot drinks. Z had a tropical flavoured slush drink and he loved it.

It was very spacious and looked very modern. There was a good selection of cuisine but I couldn't take many pictures as it was very busy.

I managed to get some pictures of the Japanese section as it was very quiet due to people following the flow of starter, main and dessert. I skipped the starters and went straight to main.

I love how they decorated this section with the banners and Japanese lanterns. I normally would go straight for the sushi but I thought I'd try the other types of cuisine first. I did manage to try the sushi and it was okay but I loved the squid salad! 

I didn't take a picture but the pumpkin dumpling in the Chinese dim sum section is to die for especially with the amazing red bean paste inside but I must warn you that its a sweet dim sum and not to go with the savoury items and as for the main's which I tried it was full of flavour especially the Seafood Paella.

DESSERTS! OMG! They had a good variety of desserts with a chocolate fountain and a candy shop it was my kind of heaven.

Overall I felt that this is the best world buffet I've been to so far; there was a lot of choices including halal and they even had someone who went around with a meat skewer like a Brazilian buffet. The food wasn't amazing but for the price including drinks it is worth it and more! I managed to have 2 plate full of food, 5 dessert plates, 2 soft drink and a cup of tea for £20! I was so stuff but I regretted not getting a soup and trying out the sushi! The best part of this experience was the staff. Friendly on arrival and throughout our stay even when we was leaving.

Run Forest Run!

Hi There,

As Christmas is a week away all I can say is arghhh!! So much to do in so little time. I've nearly finished my Christmas shopping but I do need a few bits before I can relax.

Anyways

I took some time out and decided to eat at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. London.

We was told that there was a 35-40 minutes wait but it took only 20 minutes. As soon as we got there we was told how to use the 'Go Forest Go' and 'Stop Forest Stop' signs but the waitress wasn't very clear and I just guessed that's what it was used for and it was.

I ordered a Secret Mango Sparkler.

It tasted a lot more like water down lemon juice than mango although there was slight after taste of mango after each sip.

We didn't order any appetizers as we ordered 3 mains. I had ordered  The Shrimp New Orleans.

I don't know what was in the sauce but it made me wanting more and more! I loved how soft and fresh the shrimps was but I was disappointed with the garlic bread and rice. The garlic break was hard and didn't have much flavour and the rice was hard but the sauce and the shrimp is so worth it.

S ordered  Mama's Southern Fried Chicken.

I got to try this and the chicken was so soft and juicy. I ate the corn as S didn't want it and it was very sweet.

S had ordered a SMALL Mama Blue's Southern Fried Shrimp to share.

I had to type the word small so you could see. It was not small at all! It was a full sized meal. I loved the sauces! I couldn't stop dipping the chips and prawns in. The prawns tasted amazing on its own but with the sauce it became addictive.

I was so stuffed by now but S wanted to try the dessert but he didn't want one to himself so we ordered one to share and so we got the Best of the Best Sampler The Hook, Line and Sinker.

I loved the cookie dough as it wasn't overly sweet even with the ice-cream. The Strawberry shortcake lacked flavour and even though I'm not a big fan of bread and butter pudding I loved it. There was a lot of cinnamon and it didn't taste slodgy.

I would love to return to Bubba Gump's again as I can't forget the unbelievable flavours that was there but I would love to try other items.

Anyways...

JAN 2015

I went to Sticks'n'sushi Covent Garden in Jan with some friends.

This is so random but its tap water with charcoal inside, the charcoal acts like a filter and takes out the bad stuff.

MAKI DE LUXE

This set contains 8 pieces of each of the following : Hell’s Kitchen, ebi panko, shake aïoli, salmon ceviche

FOUR MEAL DRIVE BIG

This set contains the following: 8 salmon ceviche, 8 ebi panko , 4 formidable, 4 ebi cocktail, 8 pink Alaska, 8 spicy tuna, 4 gypsy big, 4 tuna, 4 sea bass, 4 salmon, 4 seared salmon, 4 shrimp, 4 sweet shrimp Soy, wasabi & ginger

This wasn't all of the food sorry as everyone was starving so the food was going really quick and I couldn't take the pics. The food was very good from what I remember and I would love to go there again someday especially with the staff! They gave such a welcoming atmosphere and was so helpful :)

After a long day shopping we had some food at Big Moe's Diner in Newham.

I ordered a Fresh Strawberry Lemonade. It looked really pretty but tasted like normal lemonade which was disappointing an everyone else had coke.

We ordered the Big Moe's Platter for our starter. The BBQ wings was nice and sweet but everything else tasted oily.

C ordered a Kids Texan Burger which she said tasted very nice.

I had Big Moe's Fish Strip Burger which was covered in grease. As I bit into it the oil came pouring out from the fish strip and the strip kept falling apart from the burger.

Z had the Kids Chicken strip meal which he loved as he finished nearly all of his meal except for the chips as he found them not crispy.

S ordered Big Moe's Diner-Mite Burger. He couldn't finish it because it was so huge! lol but he did eat most of i so it must if been good.. shame I ain't a fan of bacon so I never ordered it.

Overall we agreed not to go back as the food took over an hour to come out and that was just the starter, we had to ask where our food was as the table who came after us got their food before us. They handed balloons out for the children but Z didn't even get one! I don't know if they 'forgot' about us but the food wasn't great and the staff was clueless.

FEB 2015

On a random date night S and I went to The O2 and visted Spur Steak and Grill

I ordered the Yellow Jacket Mocktail and it was very refreshing and S ordered a beer like usual -_-

Spicy Cheesy Nachos!! Yum!! I couldn't get enough of this especially how spicy it was! I love spicy food so this was amazing!! There was a lot of crispy tortilla chips and it was covered in cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and lots of jalapenos! 

S ordered Half Buffalo Wings in Peri Peri Sauce. I don't normally eat wings but I had a couple and it was so tender and juicy! 

We was very disappointed at the Hot Crispy Garlic Roll and you can guess why. We thought it'd be like a tear and share but its just a baguette covered in cheese.

I didn't order a main as I wanted dessert and I can't remember what he ordered but he did finish it so it must of been good.

OMG! This Sticky Toffee Pudding Cheesecake is amazing!! I'm not a big fan of cheesecake but I wanted more of this and yes I finished the whole thing including the ice cream! The cheesecake help cut the sweetness from the toffee sauce and the biscuit base gave it a crunchy texture.

We visited the restaurant on a Monday night and it wasn't very busy so food came out quick and piping hot except the garlic roll and my dessert obviously and the service was decent as there was 1 guy serving us and a big table of about 12 people who wanted to pay for their own food from the one bill.

February is the month of love and as for our first valentines day together S treated me to my favourite food.. SUSHI! I didn't want to go far as he had work the next day so we went to Sensuru in Greenwich.

We ordered a Dragon Roll and Caterpillar roll. He loves these rolls and I knew we couldn't finish off the meal if we ordered more but these were so fresh and tasty.

S ordered Teppanyaki Fillet Steak in Spicy garlic sauce. I'm not a big fan of steak but they had put fish flakes on which looked as if it was moving and dancing due to the heat coming from the pan. 

Kyushu Seafood Udon in Soup was so refreshing and they had arranged the seafood into a smiley face lol! 

I've been to Sensuru many times before when it used to be called Ginza and I would continue going especially when they do buffets on Sundays! But I've never been so I will try it someday.. All you can eat sushi yum!

Every once in a while I crave for desserts like most people do so we visited Kaspas Catford. They had just recently opened when we visited and it was very busy, they told us that there was a 10 minute wait but it was shorter than that!

L had the Banoffee M&M Waffles. She said it tasted very good and even finished it.

I had a Sticky Toffee Pudding with Custard which was very sweet but the cake was so warm and soaked up the sauce just right.

S had a double chocolate cake with custard which he didn't finish off as his not into sweet things. I know silly of him to go but he only went after knowing how much I love desserts <3

Z had a Ferrero Rocher Sundae which he picked himself. His never had a sundae before and I was afraid that he wouldn't like it but he loved it!

Enjoying his first sundae :)
