[Restaurant Review] Morrisons Cafe in Sutton

For those who don't live in the UK, Morrrisons is a big chain of supermarkets where they a cafeteria at the bigger branches.

I visited the cafe at Morrisons in Sutton after lockdown when a limited menu was offered.

The cafe was not in its usual glory but we stopped by for some tea.

It was definitely a good experience because I love tea and it is always better dining out.

Overall, everything was satisfactory.

[Restaurant Review] My new favourite for chips at The Fish & Chip Shop

Came here during the summer and now I finally have a moment to write this up because the chips were so good that I had to share it.

I was going somewhere on the bus and spotted this chippy on the corner and my gut instinct was to try it.
The decor of The Fish & Chip Shop was simple, white tiled walls with a simple grey shop front.
Boy was I glad that I got off the bus and had some chips.

We ordered a portion to share and the guy was really nice to split the portion into two which made it easier for us to eat.
My friend had tomato ketchup on hers and I initially didn't want any ketchup because salt and vinegar just do fine, however when I was holding hers and waiting for mine, I changed my mind and the guy was really nice and didn't mind adding the ketchup to it.

Since, no dine ins were allowed due to the current situation we had to quickly find somewhere to sit because I couldn't hold the chips any longer as my fingers are sensitive to hot things.
Luckily there was a bench nearby which was just fantastic.

Before starting on the chips, I knew they were going to be delicious because each chip was uniformly cut and the colour was blonde.
Each chip was just fluffy and delicious, they were so good that they have beaten my regular chippy!
Not only did they taste great, they smelled delicious.
All the chips were uniform in size and colour without any odds and ends or burnt bits.
The ketchup which I did not initially want turned out to be another star of the show because the ketchup they use is very vinegary and really makes the chips moreish.
After I finished the chips, I felt really happy because the quality of these chips were so good that I am definitely coming back again.
Hopefully dine in will be available next time because chips always taste extra comforting when you add more salt and vinegar to it halfway through.








Third visit and it was still consistently good, check out clean and the oiless the paper was afterwards when I finished the chips.

London's Aqua Spirit

Much to my surprise, London's aqua spirit, part of the Aqua Restaurant Group originates from Hong Kong.
According to their website it started fourteen years ago and it was so successful that the Aqua Restaurant Group has over 25 venues in Hong Kong, London and Beijing. 
There are going to branches in New York, Dubai and Paris soon!!!!

aqua spirit is conveniently located round the corner from Oxford circus station so we went there after some serious shopping at Oxford Street. 

We got a lovely table facing the bar where all the magic happens.



The drinks menu was exciting with drinks inspired by Japan, the one that we had was the Fuji Crusta containing ciroc vodka, pear liquor, pear puree and lime.
It was definitely a good choice because it was sweet and fragrant and the glass was stylish with a black and white sesame sugar rim.


We also tried the cranberry mocktail which was sharp and refreshing.

Started with edamame which was sprinkled with my favourite Maldon Salt.

Then we had ebi tempura which was succulent and springy prawns in a perfectly light and crispy tempura batter complimented by a chili mayonnaise.

Then was had these sweet tebaski yaki chicken wings stuffed with coriander and ginger miso.

Last but not least was my favourite maki rolls filled with creamy avocado chunks and fresh salmon topped with salmon roe pearls that gives it a burst of saltiness.

Thanks to the Aqua Restaurant Group, I had a brilliant time as I always do.
Stayed tune for more Aqua related posts :) Hopefully NY and PARIS!!!!!!!
