Celebration Meals

Hello!

I'm going to continue with my March munchies because I got kinda busy with potty training my toddler and its been difficult but his finally getting it! Hooray!!

so lets get back to the food..

S is Irish and so we had to celebrate St Patricks Day at TGi Fridays in Bluewater.
We ordered from The Liberty Menu as they told us it was new and I just like to try anything new.

Fire Roasted Veg Taquito Bites

These were amazing and it was full of yummy veg!

Boneless Wings

I didn't like this as I found it so cheesy even without the bleu cheese.

Bruce Lee Burger

I ordered this burger even though I don't normally eat burgers and this burger didn't help. The noodles inside the burger was so hard I couldn't even bite it. The burger was very spicy and the sauce was amazing but other than that I was really disappointed in it.

Half Rack of Ribs

S ordered this and wasn't very impressed as the onion rings seemed over cooked and hard and the ribs was dry.

I normally enjoy going to TGi Fridays but it was my first time at the Bluewater branch and I will not be returning. I went on a weekday and it wasn't very busy but it still took over 1 hour for someone to take our order and when we asked for the bill the waitress forgot! After waiting for another 30 minutes we asked another waitress for our bill.

March is also a special month for me and S as it's the month we got together :) 

So for our anniversary we went to Sticks'n'Sushi in Greenwich. 

Miso Soup

Full of flavour and very tasty

Upgrade

2 salmon nigiri, 2 tuna nigiri, 2 shrimps nigiri, 8 pink Alaska ura-maki, 8 crispy ebi ura-maki, 6 slices of salmon with a lime marinade, 6 slices of duck wrapped in rice paper with goma dressing, 2 tsukune chicken meatball sticks, 2 tuna sticks with chili dip, 2 lamb chops yasai sticks with seeds & miso dip.

Grilled scallop with masago, spring onion, lime & tsume soy

 Gypsy Big

Seared fish, spicy sauce, avocado, cucumber, chili, red onion, ginger & tsume soy

The Upgrade set was so filling that we didn't even finish it! The duck rolls tasted like a very bland summer roll with a very thin slice of duck and the sauce that came with it was very salty.
If you've read my previous post then you's know that I didn't get to try any sticks at my previous visit to a different sticks'n'sushi branch well the Upgrade set includes some sticks and tbh I didn't really enjoy it. It was very salty and I was so full after eating all of the sushi.
We both enjoyed the Grilled Scallop but the Gypsy big wasn't great as it was very bland and the soy used was very salty. Overall I found everything a bit too salty compared to the Covent Garden branch so I doubt I'd visit this branch any time soon.

FOUR MEAL DRIVE BIG

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 :)
