Truffles Bakery in Hailsham

Spotted Truffles Bakery when I was in Hailsham.
It appealed to me because of the frosted windows which gave it that cosy feeling.


Inside, they offer a good range of treats.


The cornflake cakes were my favourite!

As well as Hailsham, you will find more branches in Sussex which is listed on their website.

[Review] Vegan Steak Bake at Coughlans Bakery

Approaching the end of the year to January, many restaurants and shops will be launching vegan foods for #veganuary .
I like the way Coughlans has the vegan steak bake way before Greggs which I will try later.


As well as the Vegan Steak Bake, they also have the Vegan three cheese and onion pasty which I didn't get the chance the try as I was not in the area.

The Vegan Steak Bake at Coughlans has sesame on it to distinguish it from the the steak bake.

The price of this vegan steak bake is £2.95 which is slightly more than Greggs at £1.55 according to online media photos.

Anyway, when you bite into the vegan steak bake, the pastry is just as good as any pastry in the sense that it is crisp and flaky.
It took me a while to get to the centre of the bake but I was greeted with a lovely gravy loaded with mushrooms and vegan steak.
The vegan steak pieces was tasty and the texture was like firm bouncy tofu that is just the right bite without being too rubbery so overall I really enjoyed this vegan steak bake.


Sadly, Coughlans was closed on Sunday so I didn't try the vegan cheese and onion as well as the Vegan sausage and leek.



They also have other captivating treats like Butterscotch yum yum and the iced apple lattice.


Will definitely give them a try when I am next in town!

[Review] Patisserie Valerie

Patisserie Valerie has been around since 1926, you can find it almost everywhere as they became popular in 2006.
The cake selections are pricey and just the usual.

I was treated a blackforest cake for tea so finally tried Patisserie Valerie.



The cherries on top were nice while the chocolate sponge was soft, but overall I think their cakes are over hyped.

[Review] Cavendish Bakery

Cavendish Bakery is a local bakery that has been in Eastbourne for at least 45 years on the corner of Cavendish Place.

My grandma got me treats from there like Swiss Buns and the cream slice which they don't seem to do anymore.

Anyway, I have been away for a while so the first thing I did was eat there when I got back.




Had the Steak and Kidney pie, Traditional pasty, Donut with cream and the Swiss Bun.



The Swiss bun is a must because that sweet icing topping is so damn good with the soft bun.

If I could go back in time I would have the cream slice again.

Hello Kitty series at Maxim's Bakery 美心西餅

I'm not really a fan of Hello Kitty but tried it anyway as it was affordable and some of the bakery products in the series looked delicious.

Strawberry burger:

Savoury burger:
Apple cheese tart:
Sugar and Cinnamon Toast:
On this visit, got the toast and bread.
I'm not a fan of Maxims bread but this cute little this loaf was filled with red beans and cream cheese.
Out of all the products, I liked the toast most because it was just simply Hello Kitty's head with sugar and cinnamon.
I love the taste of sugar and cinnamon so therefore I liked it.
It was a little soft but it didn't bother me.

My picks at Wine and Dine 2018

Wine and Dine is bigger and better this year that it now has different sections.
Hotel Delicious, Feedme Lane, Coffee Fiesta etc.

I was impressed with the creativity and variety this year.

First stop was salted egg chicken drumsticks with a Singaporean twist coated with oats from City Garden Hotel Hong Kong 城市花園酒店.


Second stop Appendix Coffee & Bar, the N2 Earl Grey really hit the spot as I was hot and bothered.
Lightly sweetened Earl Grey with a silky foam cap and last but not least was the Taiwanese messy bun inspired coffee.



In the bakery section, my fave bakery Say Hey Bakery 四喜麵包西餅was there with a unique beetroot quiche, La Mer Restaurant & Loungehad this interesting salted egg duck tart and Fast Gourmet had exclusive alcoholic lava croissants like pina colada.



For filling dishes Westwood Carvery had prime rib sandwiches and uni pasta.

The Drunken Pot 酒鍋 was also here, no hotpots there but they had cute skewers.
I had the spicy trio which had all my favourites: ducks blood, fish maw and stinky tofu.

Last but not least, I love Indian food so had the Kathi veggie roll from Gaylord.


Make sure you don't miss the drones display.
