[Review] Shadi Bakery freshly made naans and a hidden secret restaurant!

Shadi Bakery is an amazing joint in West Croydon and now there is another branch in Hounslow according to the internet.
Discovered Shadi Bakery in 2016 when I was at West Croydon.
The naans are freshly made and only cost ‎£1 for 3 back then and they still do now.




As I have already tried the naan, this time I had the Zahter Naan which was also £1.


The Zahter naan was amazing and the naan was consistently good as before, it was soft, yeasty with a slight resistance.
The zahter topping was aromatic and I think there was a slight lemon taste as well.
It so was impressive because it so was delicious and non greasy.

I was craving for a zaater naan again with cheese but didn't feel like travelling to Shepherds Bush so went back to Shadi Bakery, unfortunately they do not use Akawi cheese because it is high in fat.
As well as the bakery, there is a secret restaurant at the back serving ouzi and other dishes so dined there because they had chicken livers for £5 which was a good deal since another restaurant a few doors away are serving it for £11.
The most importat thing is that they serve it with their freshly made made naans from the front.
I could tell the livers were reheated in the microwave but they tasted great but unfortunately they didn't give me fresh naan which ruined the experience.
Anyway, after I told them the naan was cold I was given a freshly made wheat naan which was crisp and warm and took the whole experience to the next level with the chicken livers.
Also on the table was sumac which is a refreshing powder made of dried berries which makes the food moreish.
Will be back to try the other dishes.

[McDonald's Review] The Indian Chicken - Great Tastes of the World

UKs McDonald The Indian Chicken is Two pieces of succulent crispy chicken with a sweet and sticky onion relish, in-between a garlic naan.

I wasn't really keen on trying it but tried it anyway.



Overall, I found the naan too dry and it broke too easily.

The sticky onion relish was very tart and the mango taste was stronger.

There was also some white sauce which was really garlicky so the burger as a whole tasted more Greek than Indian.

As for the chicken it was basically [Chicken Selects] which are strips of tender chicken breasts.

The chicken was a bit too dry and chewy for my liking.

Naan Tuna Mayo @ MOS Burger

I found it quite interesting that MOS Burger was offering naans topped with cheese just like a pizza so I went there and tried it.

There were three flavours: seafood, pizza and cheese and tuna.
Only cheese and tuna was available that day and after trying it, I think that would have been the best flavour anyway.
The appearance of the naan reminded me of bicycle saddle seat.
Usually I do not like Pizzas with thick bases but because it was naan bread it was much nicer because it was nice and soft.
Also the cheese was just right and the tomato sauce and tuna tasted strong but each taste was distinct.
In addition there was caraway seeds in it which really enhanced the overall taste.

Husband rolled from prawn and pork @ 蝦豬餅

Havent got a clue why its called Husband roll, but maybe the way its called in chinese sounds similar to husband.

Prawn pork roll in chinese is pronounced Hah jue beng, and the Chinese way of pronoucing Husband is "Hah si Ban", so maybe they thought it was similar.

Anyway, the husband roll is basically a roti with pork, lettuce and prawn paste filling.

The roti is flaky and crispy on the outside.

The prawn paste wasnt salty at all.

However, if it was chicken instead of pork, I would have liked it more, as I find pork a bit too fatty, and the roti was slightly greasy.
