Subway's New Ultimate Festive Sandwich

Paid a visit to Subway because they had the New Ultimate Festive Sandwich which is Stuffing topped bread filled with pulled chicken, cheese, sage and onion stuff and cranberry sauce.
It is also available for the jacket potato.

I love stuffing so this sandwich was made for me however I customized it a little, I skipped the cheese and lettuce and added some purple onions and mayo and the result was delicious.

I also paid 60p extra for extra stuffing.

They also have new festive double chocolate and orange cookies.

According to Subways instagram post, they had a festive paper wrap for this sandwich but was given the usual wrap.

Comforting dinner at Oslo Court

This has been on my list, despite being two stops away from Bond Street it's still quite far because of the walk from the station.
Finally made it one Tuesday night. The station I exited was promising as it was old.
Walking there was depressing as it just felt strange even though they had branded High Street shops and independent shops along the way
Anyway, arrived at Oslo court which felt like a scene from the movie walking into a residential building that houses a 1970s restaurant.
Entering the restaurant you are greeted with folded pink cloth napkins and lots of pink!!
When you sit down, a plate of crudites with garlic mayo is placed on your table.
The starters and mains were endless but in a good way as everything was an option.
I was clear I wanted the crab a la rochelle and the steak mignon.
Dessert was a bonus because I didn't know it was included along with the chocolates and tea.
Somehow dining for one is a better experience as you don't have to share it.
The first course, crab a la rochelle was a beauty, soft silky crabmeat wrapped in light flaky filo style pastry visually like an empanada.
The crabmeat was so fresh it didn't need black pepper to mask anything.
They definitely didn't skimp on the crabmeat.
Also it is tasty without the brandy sauce where you can appreciate the creamy crab and mushroom flavours.
The brandy sauce was nostalgic, the same taste as the prawn cocktail ones.
The mains, you get a choice of three vegs so I chose latke, steamed spinach and petit pois.
Will get roast potatoes next time.
Take note of the fork and spoon Silver service when the sides are served.
Something truly vanished in this day and age.
The steak was neatly cut from a sharp knife which you can see.
It was soft and tender.
Overall, it was good the latke was delicious and you can tell they were made in house.
The petit pois is uniquely different because it is truly petit like the size of trout caviar.
Dessert was heaven, I had rice pudding and creme caramel.
Both traditional and good in their own ways.
Last but not least is the plate of Leonardas chocolates and tea.
A final surprise before you to leave.

Early Christmas pizza at Prezzo for 99p!

Even though I had some Christmas previews June, I won't resist any more.
Definitely worth the experience especially if you have never tried Prezzo before so a reason to dine there.
A lovely festive CHRISTMAS PIZZA with Turkey, brie, crispy stuffing, pigs in blankets on a rich tomato base and topped with cranberry ketchup.
The Turkey was still tender and moist coming from the fiery pizza oven.
Well done Prezzo.

Ube & Mandarin Tart at Cord by Le Cordon Bleu

Stumbled accross CORD by Le Cordon Bleu on fleet street.
I thought this was a cooking academy but it was a cafe offering pastries and food supplied by them.
My eyes locked on the ube mandarin tart so had to get it.
It was interesting they had ube as an ingredient because I thought they'd be traditional on flavours.
Anyway, it did not disappoint.
The tart base was actually edible unlike other places where they use frozen ones that taste off and the butter has gone rancid to state that you can smell.
The mandarin was amazing, citrus and sharp.
Definitely to my liking as it wasn't mango while the ube was strong, you could really taste that earthy sweetness in that light mousse cream.
The only thing I didn't like was the crunch in the middle.
Also naughtily got a dark chocolate pumpkin croissant to take home which has a strong cinnamon pumpkin filling.

Wendy's Baked Potatoes (Jacket Potatoes)

Seriously, the jacket potatoes are insane and the chilli and cheese will only set you back at £3.89.
Probably the cheapest loaded jacket you can get especially in London.
I got this late at night so I thought because it was the end of the day the potato was uniformly soft and fluffy.
The chilli was amazing and tasty with two types of beans kidney and pinto.
No wonder there are many recipes for Wendys chilli online.
Anyway just to confirm the baked potatoes were good, I went back in the afternoon and got a different filling.
To my delight the potato was again uniformly soft and fluffy.
It is really hard to find uniformly soft and fluffy baked potatoes these days from cafes and definitely not under a fiver for ones with filling.
Well done Wendys.

The Worlds Best Lobster Roll at Homer Lobster

Homer Lobster from Paris has popped up at Truffle Burger, South Bank until 15th June.

They claim to serve the World's Best lobster so I had to give it a try.

Overall, it delivered, fresh springy lobster with burst of lime rind here and there complimented by the chives.

The Ice Cream Project by Anya Hindmarch returns for the 4th year!!

The Ice Cream Project by Anya Hindmarch returns for the 4th year with more exciting flavours!

Again 15 flavours in total available from June 7 to 16 August 2025.

The flavours are: Garners pickled onion, Sriracha, Rowse honey, Ovaltine, Twiglets, McVities hobnobs, McVities Club Orange, Bisto Gravy, Copella Apple, Irn Bru, Quaker Oats, Maldon Salt, Fillippo Berio Pesto, Bird's eye custard, Romney Kendal Mint Cake.

Although there are many new flavours, I felt that many were similar to the previous ones but using a different brand, for example the Mint Cake tasted just like the Polo ice cream a few years ago.

Garners Pickled onions: quite similar to the Sarsons vinegar ice cream with an onion taste.

Sriracha chilli sauce: Not a fan of sriracha but got it because there was tomato which made it deliciously savoury and sweet albeit a bit spicy.

Twiglets: Lovely generous chunks of malty twiglets but the marmite taste wasn't strong.

I felt that a striking touch of saltiness would be nice.

Bistro gravy: Again similar to the kikkomans soy sauce ice cream.

Sweet and Savoury but the salty kick isn't that strong as soy sauce.

Coppella Apple: refreshing apple sorbet that was not too sweet.

Quaker Oats: Similar to the Ambrosia rice pudding ice cream but with chewy oats in it.

Rather sweet.

Crepes at La Petite Bretagne

La Petite Bretagne, a lovely creperie serving proper Brittany style buckwheat crepes with apple cider.
The Campagnarde was really tasty however the frangipane wasn't to die for like the menu said but still nice.
I thought the almond cream was going to be lighter.
It interesting how they have interlocked the cutlery in the tin.
