Hiya!

Street Feast London had opened in a new location and its in...

Yup. The guys at Street Feast have turned an old unloved market into a trendy food hall. I went along and visited them on both Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd; the reason behind this was that on Friday it was so busy that we couldn't try everything on offer so we returned on Saturday with kids in tow!

Burger & Beyond

Parmesan & Bacon Tater Tots // Hot Mess Burger // Waffle Fries 

I didn't get to try the burger as someone ate it all before I even took a bite! S said it was so good he wanted another one as the meat was juicy and it was spicy but not so much that you couldn't taste the meat. I LOVED these tater tots! The Parmesan worked wonders with the bacon and the potato! I had people come up to me asking what that was and where I had got it from as it smelt so good. The waffle fries was a big hit with Z. I had to stop him trying to eat it all as I took this picture.

Hens

1/4 British Chicken cooked on a charcoal fire with Lemon & Sage butter // Chips

We wanted to try the Chicken Bombers but they didn't have any so I thought that I should try the chicken and I was not disappointed! It was so soft, juicy and full of flavour! They gave us gravy on the side which I dare say would give KFC gravy a run for their money! We was disappointed with the fries as they was a bit burnt.

Ink.

Crispy Salt and Pepper Squid // Fish Nuggets and Hand-Cut Fries

The squid was the one I was most looking forward to but I was let down by it as there was no chilli flavour on the squid unless you ate a piece of chilli with it. The squid ink mayo tasted funny at first but after the first bite you get hooked on that sauce. I was extremely surprised by the  fish nuggets though as they tasted amazing! It was soft, juicy and so fresh. 

Salt Shed

Butterflied Lamb Steak with Mixed Chips

This was very tasty as the lamb was still tender yet juicy and the sauces worked amazingly well with the meat but I do have to confess that this is my second time having chips from here as they was very burnt on opening night which made me scared about re-ordering chips from them but luckily they looked amazing when we got this meal and tasted so goooooooooooood! Especially the carrot chips! 

Yumbuns + Yumplings

Pork Belly and Chicken Steamed buns //  Mixed Mushroom Steamed dumplings.

The buns were so delicious! Full of flavour and it tasted so fresh but I was let down by the dumplings. The sauce in which they used over powered any kind of mushroom flavour and it was very garlicy. 

Lava 

Hot Doughnut Puddings Double Choc // Salted Caramel

AMAZING! OMG! It smelt so good but once we cut open the doughnuts the sauces came rushing out! I loved it so much especially the salted caramel one! No words can describe these amazing little balls as they are just so good; the toppings worked so well with doughnut and ice-cream. 

- YOU NEED TO GET THESE -

I would highly recommend you visit here for catching up with friends and family as everyone there are so friendly and welcoming but its definitely not a venue for a family trip out as its not really 'kid-friendly' due to being very tight. I will be visiting again but with no kids in tow as I will NOT be able to eat anything as the kids will be snatching food right out of my hand AGAIN!

Please Note
that this is a review based on their opening night so I will be revisiting after a couple of weeks to see how they've settled down and then give a fairer review.

Public - Fridays 5pm until Late // Saturdays 12pm until Late

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.

First Choice Cafe Woolwich - Revisting

Hiya!

So recently me and S took Z to see In The Night Garden in Blackheath and we decided to go and revisit First Choice Cafe in Woolwich.

Oreo Milkshake

Z absolutely loves this! I had a taste and it wasn't too sweet and it had alot of Oreo bits. 

Chocolate Milkshake

 C ordered this and said that it was very nice. I love how its so foamy on top! It looks so pretty :)

English Breakfast

C ordered this amazing English breakfast and they have the best bubble! It was full of flavour and not too greasy.

Lasagne with Chips and Salad

S ordered this and found that it was very creamy. I loved the coleslaw especially with the red onions. 

I love First Choice Cafe as the portions are big and the staff are just amazing. 

What do you look forward to eating for Lunch?

Wimpy Restaurant - Woolwich

Hiya!

So sorry I haven't been posting much but the app I used on my blog is down! I didn't want to wait anymore so I used another app.

It was a beautiful day in London and we wanted desserts so we went to our local Wimpy's. Instead of just ordering desserts we ended up ordering meals.

Mango Iced Smoothie

C ordered this delicious drink! It was sweet and full of flavour! A must try for a hot sunny day.

Wimpy's Strawberry Shake

J ordered this as she didn't want a dessert after her meal. J loved it as it wasn't very sweet and it wasn't too thick either. 

Scampi and Chips

I loved the scampi even though it was over cooked. The only downside is that they only provide you one packet of tartar sauce.

Wimpy's Spicy Bean Burger

J ordered this and she said it was very nice. There was a lot of flavour and it wasn't too spicy. It doesn't come with a side so she ordered chips. 

Great Wimpy Breakfast

C ordered this and ate everything except the tomatoes as she doesn't like tomatoes. She loved everything but she did wish that it came with some chips.

We only ordered 2 desserts as J didn't want one and we thought we'd just share.

knickerbocker glory Sundae

 There was a lot of fruit in here including a whole strawberry! It was okay but it was missing the strawberry sauce. They only put a tiny bit in and it just tasted like cream so we didn't finish it.

Brown Derby

OMG! This is amazing! The doughnut was hot and not very sweet but it worked very well with the ice cream and chocolate sauce.

What's your favourite Wimpy meal/dessert?

M&S Cafe Lewisham

Hiya!

Me and J went to Lewisham to do shopping and we found ourselves starving! In Lewisham there's not alot of choice and it's very hard to find somewhere to eat as J doesn't eat chicken! After searching for an hour we found ourselves in M&S Cafe.

The Cafe is located in a tiny corner near M&S food court and everything from the cafe is from their food court.

Pot of Tea with a Mini Oat bite

Tea is a staple to my family and after a long day we always have a cuppa. We managed to get 3 cups of tea! The mini oat bite came with our tea and it was soooo good! I rushed to the M&S food court whilst our food was being made and was so upset that they ran out! I was so gutted but I did manage to get some other yummy bits. 

Jacket Potato with Chilli Con Carne & Salad

 The potato was soft and sweet and accompanied the chilli well as it was a bit salty. J isn't a fan of cherry tomatoes so I ate them for her. I poured the sauce over the tomatoes and couldn't get enough of it; It was tangy and sweet.

Shredded veg and beef bolognese

I was drawn to the this on the advertising board and it looked amazing but sadly I was presented with this. The veg didn't look as vibrant as the picture and the meat looked like it needed more tomato sauce. I took a bite at first and it tasted okay. It needed more salt and honestly a bit more flavour so I used the sauce from J's salad and poured it over the veg which gave it more flavour. 

Fruit Tea Cake

I've never had a tea cake before so I thought I'd order one and it taste just like a hot cross bun! I loved it as it contained a lot of raisins. I had it with and without butter and I prefer the buttered side as it tasted more sweeter.

I recommend coming here for a tea/coffee date but I wouldn't recommend coming here for the hot food as it is microwaved. The staff members are nice and very friendly so that's a plus. I love M&S salads and sandwiches so next time I will just get their sandwiches but I will definitely get the teacake!

Aqua Mediterranean Bar and Grill - Blackheath

Hiya!

So sorry for the lack of posts.

S and I visited Aqua Mediterranean Bar and Grill in Blackheath for our anniversary. We was lucky enough to be able to book a table as it was very last minute. As soon as we entered we was greeted by a sea of smiles. The staff member took us to our seats and even offered to move us as I was feeling very cold at the particular table. He took our coats and came back with the menus.

Cypriot Meatballs

I was lucky enough to get a meatball as S ate it all! The sauce was very rich and tasty. The meatballs was very flavoursome. I should of ordered a portion for myself!

Hot Tiger Prawns

The prawns was sweet and juicy. I liked them but it was missing the spiciness and also it did lack flavour.

Special of the day

I couldn't remember the name of this but it was so delicious. I loved the tomato sauce and started dipping my prawns into the sauce. It was tangy but it left a sweet after taste.

250g Rib Eye Steak

S loves his steak's so he ordered the rib eye. His not a fan of mushrooms so I ate it and I love it! Bursting of flavour and the red onion marmalade was so mouth watering. S loved his steak (medium cook)! He said it was soft and juicy.

Pan Fried Fillet of Seabass

The seabass was cooked perfectly. The meat was soft and light whilst the skin was crispy; I normally don't eat fish skin but this was so good! I loved the white wine sauce as it wasn't to rich and it worked very well with the clams, seabass and asparagus. I loved my except for the potatoes as it did taste a bit like plastic on the outside but the inside was sweet and soft.

Warm Chocolate Brownies

The brownie worked perfectly with the vanilla pod ice-cream. The mixed berry compote was very tangy but I loved how there was red berries as it gave a lot of flavour once you bite into it.

I would love to go back and try more of their yummy food especially the seafood as I love how fresh the seafood was. It was such an amazing night and it was made better by the staff; they're so welcoming and friendly and made me want to stay there and not leave! lol

Kintan Japanese BBQ

Hiya!

We visited Kintan in Holborn. S thought we was going to Korean bbq but it turned out to be a Japanese style bbq (Yakiniku). We had a reservation for 5pm but we got there early and only had 2 hours parking; as we was about to cancel our reservation, the manager managed to move it up to 4.30. 

We made it in time for Happy Hour! Which meant that we got a discount on the set meals! S had picked the Meat Lover's set which contained the following:-

Crispy seaweed, Fried Chicken Karaage, Umami Salad, Miso Soup and Plain Boiled Rice

I loved the Chicken Karaage! It wasn't greasy and it was so juicy! Normally I don't like to eat chicken but I couldn't help myself it was amazing. I didn't take any pictures of the miso soup or rice as Z took my phone.

Sirloin, Premium Rib Eye, Yaki-Shabu Beef, Bistro Hanger Steak, Spicy Pork Kalbi and Citrus Pepper Aburi Bacon

These are the meats you get with the set deal and I surprised myself by actually loving a pork item. I finished the Spicy Miso pork myself but the other meats just tasted the same as each other once they were cooked.

S'mores

How cute is this! For dessert you get a S'more each and all I can say is keep the sticks away from children at all time unless you want meat juice with your marshmallows! Z kept trying to do it and ended up wiping some meat juice on mine but he loved being able to toast the marshmallow under mine and S's watchful eye lol.

S thought that there wasn't enough food so he went and ordered the following appetizers:

Kintan Buns, Takoyaki and Ebi Furai

OMG! The buns was soft and very sweet but it complimented the meat very well as the meat was bit salty on its own but worked amazingly well with the sweetness of the bun. I loved the Takoyaki as they contained big chunks of octopus and it didn't feel too greasy. The batter on the prawns was light and tasted yummy with the accompanying sauce.

Z got a Kid's meal which contained:

2 Takoyaki, Crispy Seaweed, 2 Mini Japanese Sausage, Beef and Boiled Rice.

Z only had 1 sausage as he dropped one so we asked for an extra sausage in which they gave us one big sausage cut into quarters. We cooked the sausages and mixed it with his rice and he loved it! He didn't eat the takoyaki, beef nor the crispy seaweed although he does eat the seaweed at home. S ended up eating the beef.

Matcha Ice-Cream

On the leaflet it stated Vanilla Ice-cream but they must of ran out as they gave Z matcha ice-cream which I was not very pleased about because Z hates matcha so I ate it instead and it was disgusting! They didn't say anything to me about exchanging the ice-cream so we was left with no choice.

It was very bitter and bitsy; the ice-cream contained alot of matcha powder which gave it a strong matcha taste but leaves a horrible bitter after taste. I didn't finish this even though I love dessert. 

Kintan Ice-Cream

I ordered this for myself but I gave it to Z as I had his matcha ice-cream but he did share a spoonful with me and it tasted okay. The brown sugar syrup was bitter but the ice-cream did balance the bitterness out a little. Z managed to finish it after mixing everything together.

The staff was very welcoming. I would love to visit again sometime without Z and just enjoy cooking and catching up. Z wasn't naughty but it was no place for children as I did get meat juice jump out onto my hands a couple of time. This is a perfect way to catch up with friends as you wait for your own food to cook and its a fun experience!
