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?

April Munchies

Hiya!

I am so sorry with the late posts but I've been so busy stuffing my face xD

So Welcome to April!

Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Butter Icing decorated with fondant butterflies and flower.

&

Chocolate covered Cornflakes with sprinkles and chocolate eggs to decorate

Me and Z baked some cupcakes and made some chocolate Covered Cornflakes for Easter. I had purchased a cake decorating set from Ebay and couldn't wait to use it. I started to play around with the flower and butterfly fondant stampers and Z loved them! He loved how easy it was to use and how beautiful the shapes came out.

Peach Ice Tea 

April in London became strangely warmer than usual and on a random shopping trip I stopped by Dunkin' Donuts in Woolwich to get this delicious and refreshing Ice Tea.

Kaspa's Catford
S and I took Z to Kaspas again as a treat for doing well on his potty training! He can finally tell me when he needs the toilet! Hooray!!

Banana Split

 We gave Z the menu to pick something as it was his treat and he picked a banana split! I didn't let him eat the whole thing himself so we shared and luckily we did because this had so much cream and Ice-cream!

Strawberry and Chocolate Crepe

S ordered a crepe all for himself and it was so rich in Chocolate that he gave up after 5 bites! lol I had some and found that it was perfectly matched as the strawberries were sour.

Slug&Lettuce The O2

My sister had a leaving do at Slug and Lettuce at The O2 on a Friday. 

Nachos 

This is from the 'To Share' section and we now know why they don't do a single portion. The Nachos are HUGE (look below)!!! The Nachos wasn't crunchy like the usual ones you get it was very soft like a tortilla wrap which made it okay to eat but it wasn't special. 

 HUGE SIZED NACHOS

 The Feast for Friends

Southern-fried-style chicken fillets, breaded garlic mushrooms, smothered BBQ pork ribs, crispy fried potato wedges, toasted garlic artisan bread and beer battered onion rings. All served with delicious dips.

I didn't try everything on here but what I had was very tasty. The thought of the ribs is making my mouth water and the garlic sticks. I managed to have 3 garlic sticks lol.

 No leaving party is complete without drinks..

Nandos

How can I not atleast once mention the infamous Nandos (Maybe I'll get a Blackcard from this LOL) and S got so excited about the new menu items that we had to go and try it.

Churrasco Thigh Burger & Sweet Potato Fries

The chicken in the burger was so scrummy! OMG! It was tender and sweet and not dry! Hooray! The Fino Coleslaw was creamy and not bad but I prefer the normal coleslaw.

The sweet potato fries was NOT what I expected. I thought that it'd be cut up into chip size but it was a whole sweet potato cut up into strips. The sauce was too sour and not very nice but that wasn't the worst as the sweet potato was covered with salt which was disgusting! I had to eat the inside of the potato and leave the skin and outside which is my favourite part :(

Five Guys The O2

I've always wanted to try Five guys even though I ain't a fan of burgers but it was so talked about that it was a must for me.

 Little Cheese Buger and Little Fries

I don't eat alot so I opted for the little burger and fries and tbh it was nothing special. It was over hyped but the most amazing thing is this...

Strawberry Sprite

They had the most amazing Soft Drink machine! You can create what ever flavour drinks you want! I had Strawberry flavoured Sprite and also Peach flavoured Sprite! You can have as many drinks as you want as it was unlimted refill!

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 :)
