Chicken tikka pizza @ La Rose Noire Bakery

As always the bakery is good at La Rose, this time I got the chicken tikka pizza and a dark chocolate muffin.

The chicken tikka is the usual tikka flavouring you get in the UK.

The base was nice and soft, it was dusted with flour at the bottom.

The Chocolate muffin was nice and rich, and not too sweet.

Subway's egg and cheese muffin

Subway is famous for subs, but this time I got the muffin, there are three fillings you can choose: egg and cheese, egg and ham or egg and bacon.

The egg was different to the egg they served a while ago for breakfast, the one I had before was scrambled egg, and this time it was crushed egg and mayonnaise.

I was asked what sauces I would like but for an egg muffin, I felt that salt and pepper was the best choice for it.
After saying no, the staff put some mayonnaise on it.

Overall, it tasted better than what I expected, perhaps there was too much mayonnaise, because the egg itself already had mayonnaise in it.

Hazelnut Muffin @ Starbucks

Ordered a hazelnut chocolate muffin and they asked me if I wanted it heated up, so decided to try it warm.

It was quite nice warmed, you could smell the chocolate and hazenut.

It wasnt too sweet.

A different perspective of American cookies

Every time when I walk past Mrs Fields, there is a sweet smell lingering in the air.
It’s one of those shops that have been around for ages so there is no urgency in trying it and there are many branches around.

I never stopped by because they specialise in cookies and I didn’t know that American and British Cookies were different.

I have never liked cookies, because British cookies are just like hard biscuits.
But the American ones are so much different, not only are they bigger in size, they are soft and chewy!!!

Mrs Fields specialises in cookies, brownies and muffins.

As well as the cookies the muffins were also different, the British ones are disc shaped and the Americans are like cup cakes.
Muffins are nice, but I have always found them messy to eat, the top of the muffin would be hard, and the muffin beneath would just crumble.

In the end I decided to try the brownies which were so nice that I ended up trying their other products and I was addicted.

For the muffins, some flavours are only available on the even days of the week ie Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and the other flavours available on the odd days ie Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Brownies:
Amazingly rich and silky with intense cocoa taste.
There are three flavours: chocolate chip, chocolate fudge and double chocolate
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Butter muffin:
The flour mixture had a strong taste but did not over power the buttery taste.

Apple and cinammon muffin:
This is one of my favourite muffins because there is so much cinammon and sugar on top which is crunchy.

Cream cheese ring cake
The cake was really rich with pieces of cream cheese in it.
It was more of chocolate cake than cheese.

Premium cup cake
This was quite dense and the size was smaller than the muffin.
