New greasy spoon style Indian cafe in West Croydon

Went to West Croydon one weekend nd spotted this new cafe that really pops out literally outside West Croydon station by the bus terminus. 

Bright orange, open early till 10pm serving English breakfast,  baguettes to Indian fare!!

I had to go in and give it a try so I had the full English.

Their menu is not quite ready yet as the items on the board do not prices but it is good that they display samples of their dishes.

My breakfast was the usual but presented quite different.

Sausages were sliced in half.

Bacon was turkey bacon.

Tea tasted like Indian tea.

Overall it was nice and an interesting experience.

Baileys deliciously light pop up

Baileys Deliciously Light is 40% less calories and sugar.

There was a pop up event from Wednesday 23 – Thursday 24 August near South Bank giving away samples of the drink as well as treats when you press the Baileys button.

As I was in the area, I tried a sample of Baileys deliciously light and to be honest you can't tell the difference in taste with the regular so it was just as nice.

When you press the button, you get a surprise and I got a delicious cup cake which was made by Netflix’s Extreme Cake Makers @mollymakescakes

The cupcake was really nice and not too sweet with a soft and moist texture garnished with shimmering gold and a lovely cream topping.

If you were lucky, some of the cakes that came out where really fancy ones like a huge chocolate cake bar or a Baileys bottle shaped cake.  

Chips from Ocean Fish Bar near Stepney Green

Went here randomly as it was near my uni.
The smell in the shop was nice so decided to try their chips.
However the chips didn't look nice because they were brown but they were actually good as in not greasy.

It was nice how they also had an extra sheet of real newspaper as well to give it that chippy touch.

Mac and Cheese from The Pear Tree, Purley

Finally gave this pub a visit since I have not been there so ordered the macaroni and cheese.

There are toppings you can choose but I decided to just have it plain.

Although it was a bit pricey, the taste was amazing as the cheese gooey and tasty.

It was quite salty as well but in a delicious way and the texture of the macaroni was to my liking as it was not too soft with a nice firmness.

Argentinian empanadas from Chango

This morning, I spotted this Argentinian stall selling empanadas.

They had traditional ones like beef as well as ones suited to the English palate.

I decided to try the cheese and ham because it was made with cheddar and I was not disappointed because the filling was lush.

The pastry is soft yet crisp and flaky filled which you can imagine like a soft flaky Carr's water biscuit in a nice way.
I got them at the right time as they just started for the day hence they were fresh and hot.

Bow Dip burger from Bun and Sum

I have always wanted to try this burger place because of the bow dip burger which comes with a pot of beef juice for dipping.
Buns & Some is a delivery kitchen that turned popular hence people are coming here for takeaways.
Located underneath railway arches, there is no where to sit unless it is a media visit with the usual arrangements.
Overall, the burger was soft and reminded me of shake shack with extra brisket slices.
The beef juice which I was looking forward to was a bit salty so couldn't finish it.
Overall I was glad I tried, it is interesting how East London is changing as well as rail arches with more kitchens moving in amongst those car garage places.
