[Review] Wok 2 Walk customizable noodles

Wok 2 Walk is a popular noodle joint that is available in other countries as well as UK.
There are a lot of branches in Central London that attract lots of customers.

I was attracted to Wok 2 Walk because of the flexibility and choices.
You get to choose your noodle, ingredients and sauce.

Went to the branch on Great Windmill Street because there are a few seats to sit down by the window.
The kitchen looks like a noodle truck.

Sadly the menu has slightly changed and they don't offer Bacon as one of the ingredient choices but the other choices were also good.

The menu:

Basically, you choose a noodle, grains or vegetable mix as your base, then up to four ingredients and then the sauce.
I chose the egg noodles with prawns and mushrooms in a Szechuan Sauce.

The noodles came piping hot in a cute cardboard box just like the Chinese takeouts you get in the US.

Overall, it was quite nice especially the mushroom slices which were semi raw and reminded me of salads while the prawns were bouncy.

The taste of the noodles really depend on the sauce but unfortunately the Szechuan Sauce I chose was too sweet for my liking so I didn't like it.
I would probably have liked it if I had chosen a sauce that was not so sweet so next time I will go for the SEOUL which is soy and ginger.
There are also sachets of soy and chili sauce at the condiments bar if you find the seasoning is not enough.

[Review] Purezza in Brighton

Purezza is the first plant based pizzeria in UK so how could I not pay it a visit.
It is so successful that they have a second branch at Camden.

I was also attracted to Purezza because of their home made rice based mozzarella and other cheeses which they ferment themselves.

They offer a range of vegan sourdough pizzas, gluten free food, salad bowls, raw dishes, pasta and desserts.
I found out about Purezza on TV because they were the only restaurant to show how they make their vegan cheese while other restaurants keep it top secret.

When I got there, we were greeted by a member of staff who asked if it was our first time there as payment is by CARD only.

On the menu, there was mac and cheese, cheese platter as well as their signature pizzas on sourdough, Hemp flour base or gluten free.

As it was Christmas, there was a special menu with Pizza and Calzone.

Initially, I was going to order the cheese board which was cashew based cheese so that I could compare it with this other place I tried.
In the end, we chose the Festive pizza, Lasagna and the Mac and Cheese.

The first dish that came was the Mac and Cheese which was penne pasta in a cheesy sauce that was light topped with some crispy stuff which I didn't really like.

The Festive pizza was butternut squash sauce, mozzarella, porcini mushrooms, crumbled sausage and crunchy red cabbage.
It was stunning when it came especially the red cabbage.
The pizza was just as good as anticipated because the pizza base was soft and fluffy like naan you get in Hong Kong while the mozzarella was light and dreamy.
The only thing I didn't like was the butternut squash sauce which was sweet.

Last but not least was the Lasagna which was creamy bechamel style cheese and a tasty ragu mince.
Unfortunately, there was a strong taste of rosemary in it which we didn't quite agree with.
If it was basil, we might have liked it better.

[Review] Purezza in Camden

[Visited this in Jan 2020, since then the have refurbished the place. Updated pictures at the bottom of this article].

Purezza is the first plant based pizzeria in UK so how could I not pay it a visit.

I was also attracted to Purezza because of their home made rice based mozzarella and other cheeses which they ferment themselves.

Previously tried the pizza in Brighton which was not quite enough so I went to Purezza again in Camden to try the Dough Balls.

The staff were really nice and offered some water while I was waiting for my order.

There are three dough balls per portion.
Basically it was soft pillowy balls filled with runny melted vegan cheddar.
The dough had a crispy surface while the it was light and fluffy just like a naan oozing with vegan cheddar.

All good except one was a bit burnt.

[Review] Perfect Fried Chicken - Croydon

Perfect Fried Chicken is mostly perfect on every visit.
I have been eating it for years but sadly the Perfect fried chicken on 239 Mile End Road closed so I have had to go to other branches.

Sadly, the food scene at Stepney Green has changed, the Perfect Fried Chicken on 239 has been replaced by Green Pepper and a few doors away you have German Doner Kebab.
Towards the Mile End side, there is a small Kentucky Fried Chicken as well as a YiFang drinks stall.
Recently, another Asian grocery store opened called Food to Go near Ifor Evans Place.

Anyway, by chance I discovered a Perfect Fried Chicken joint in Croydon and they offer some light meal deals like ribs and fries, wings and fries etc for around £2.

On the first visit, had the ribs with fries.

The ribs were a bit sweet but the fries were so comforting as they tasted consistently like the ones at Mile End.
They were fried from frozen when ordered so they were golden yellow and evilicious with mayonnaise.
I don't know what brand they use but the mayonnaise is light and creamy.

On the second visit, had wings and fries, again the fries were amazing while the wings were very spicy.

The only thing I found different was the chili sauce.
Hoping to go back again for the chicken.
