[Review] Vegan Fish and Chips at Suttons and Son Fish and Chips

A while ago, heard about Suttons and Son Fish and Chips serving vegan fish so decided to try it out.
There are different kinds of vegan fish these days, some are made with tofu called tofush but the one at Suttons is all natrual made with Banana Blossom.
There are a few branches of Suttons but as I wanted to try vegan chicken at Temple of Hackney, I went to this branch so I could eat everything on the same trip.

If you have seen Banana Blossom before, it is just the flower bud of the banana tree similar to bamboo shoot tips so I would imagine it tasting like that.

Anyway, it was how I expected, a whole banana blossom coated in batter and the texture and taste was similar to bamboo shoot tips.

Basically, it flakes like fish and it had a salty aftertaste but if the banana blossom is old and dry, it can taste a bit woody.

As well as vegan fish and chips, they also have a separate Vegan menu which is good!
They are also serving a vegan doner which I really want to try.

The decor of this place is quite nice.

Will be back to try the vegan doner!!

The best chips with Curry sauce in STRATFORD, inshops [Rainbow English And Chinese Fast Food]

Rainbow English And Chinese Fast Food has been here for at least 20 years or longer.

Although it is a Chinese Fast Food, I go there for chips in curry sauce.

It is really impressive how they have been consistently delicious in terms of the chips and curry sauce.

The last time I visited was in 2016.

Every time I go there, the chips are slightly crispy on the outside drenched in delicious sweet curry sauce that is not cloyingly sweet.

Yet every chips is fluffy in the middle.

The most amazing thing is that you every chip is covered in a glaze of curry sauce, even the last chip and the chips at the bottom of the dish!!

There is something magic about the curry sauce in that you wouldn't call it a sauce as it does not really drip apart from at the beginning.

Anyway, you can think of it like Poutine with curry sauce.

Finished with a Chinese Tea which was quite nice.

A customer who drove an hours drive for their food!

[Review] Dark Sugars

I was really looking forward to the hot chocolate at Dark Sugars.

There are two branches on Brick Lane.
Visited the one on the corner of Bacon Road which was really disappointing.
I arrived on a weekday afternoon and the door was locked so I thought just my luck it was closed but just as I was leaving someone opened door.
Without further ado I ordered the nutmeg hot chocolate but unfortunately the lady didn't bother to cut more chocolate and just scooped the crumbs from the chopping board to my hot choc.
Hence it was not as instaworthy as I had hoped and if you hadn't seen instagram you wouldn't have known to voice out.
Sadly I should have waited as the customers after me got instaworthy hot chocolates.

As there are two branches, I decided to try my luck at the other branch and it was really rewarding, the girls there were really nice.
The other branch is bigger with a bigger place to sit.

Also tried the cocoa tea which is made with cocoa beans.
The taste was a bit sour like drinking Cascara Tea.

[Review] Dum Dums Donutterie London

I am always looking for a sweet treat especially donuts.

At Dum Dum Donutterie, there were donuts and cronuts.

Cronuts are not my thing so it was clearly donuts and the new raspberry and pistachio was definitely a choice for me.
Basically a ring donut filled with coconut buttercream topped with icing and crushed pistachio buts.

Taking a bite, the doughnut was a rather firm one yet the the buttercream was much lighter and runnier than anticipated so the firm donut kept it together well.

It was slightly messy to eat as the filling kept squirting out but it was delicious however I found the icing much sweeter than the filling so the sweetness overpowered the whole thing.

Overall, a cute donutterie and the guy there was lovely.

[Review] Pannus Cafe, Camden

I was looking for a place for tea in Camden and went here because Cube Cafe had run out of Cream Teas.
In a way, I am glad they ran out as I ended up here as this cafe is facing the Camden Lock canal with beautiful views.

I was greeted by cakes and these super cute mini doughnut and croissants.

Ended up having the matcha apple cake to go with tea.

Apart from the lovely view, I wasn't that impressed with the presentation of the cake as it was a bit messy with cakes all around the edges of the plate.

Stain marks could also be seen on the cup!

The cake was soggy at the bottom.
Strangely the cake was served on a saucer and not a proper plate.

To summarize the cake was quite soggy and the taste of the apple pieces were quite artificial while the synthetic cream was a bit dehydrated as you can literally separate it from the cake.

After googling this cafe, it seems that it is new and possibly still under teething stages but there are other branches as it is a franchise from Barcelona.
This could be the first branch in UK?

This is the second branch of Home Dumplings in the area.
The first branch is near Central with more dumplings to choose from which are on rotation.

At this branch you can only choose the choices on the wall and it wasn't as exciting as my first visit to the other branch as I was faced with so many choices of sauce and different dumplings.

Anyway, tried the dumpling with preserved vegetables.
It was palatable and the preserved vegetables were chunky and salty.
The pork had some weird chewy bits in it which I didn't eat.
Overall, ok but a bit pricey.

As well as V Walk and TST, you can now find  attakai kokoro in Yuen Long.
The shop is bigger and better as they serve local snacks as well as drinks.

I had the avocado jasmine which was an interesting combination.
I didn't like it as it tasted like watered down avocado in the sense the it was the creaminess diluted with jasmine tea whilst there was this savory and sweetness in the taste.
Not my cup of tea.
