Still my favourite place for chips and Scottish food

I love eating chips surrounded by glass jars of pickles and the British radio in the background.
Nothing like a perfect Sunday by the seaside.
Anyway, eating in Central will do fine for me.
On this visit I had most of the sides that I am usually too full to try.
Ordered picked egg, pickled onions, steak and kidney pie, gravy, Haggis, Black pudding, fishcakes, cheese and onion pie, sausage, egg and bacon butty, and deep fried mars bar.

Pickled egg
For $10 its about the same price as those runny eggs served in ramen joints, but this one is pickled.
I found it very appetising especially the egg white.

Deep fried bars mar:
It was different to how I thought it would be done, it was dipped into a dough batter and not the fish batter.
It tasted like a donut without sugar stuff with a melted mars bar inside.
The sweetness was just right as well because the mars bar inside gave the dough the sweetness.

Gravy
Good old bisto gravy.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Steak and kidney pie:
Made by the Chippy themselves after numerous trials from different kidneys and beef to get the best taste.
The pie has a cute cow on the top.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Pickled onions
This was really sour, but I really miss them from school and the familiar spots on the surface of the onion.


★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Butty
There are two versions, bread or bun, bread is more traditionally used in UK and chips and butter are usually sandwiched in between.
The version I had today was the bun type.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Cheese and onion pastry
As usual, it tastes brilliant, the cheese is not elastic or stringy.
The onions inside were finely chopped and molten mixed with the cheddar cheese.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Haggis
A Scottish favourite that I like which contains oats, sheeps organs and spices.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Black pudding
Also another Scottish favourite of my choice, pork blood, oats and spices.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fish cakes:

I love this because it is really similar to the ones at school, light crispy coating with grounded fish and herbs inside.

Subway's Raspberry cheesecake cookie

The usual cookie flavours sold at Subway are classic chocolate chip, white chocolate with macadamia nuts, M&Ms, oatmeal raisin, and peanut butter.
The Raspberry cheesecake flavour was launched in the US about a year ago, and as a Valentine's edition in Singapore so when I saw the Raspberry cheesecake I just had to try it..

Visually you could see lots of red raspberry bits in it and white chocolate pieces.
The raspberry tasted really nice but the white chocolate bits were too sugary.

All you can eat with some new items

The price for the all you can eat buffet has gone up, but there are a few new items.

These are:
Deep fried Japanese cheese and potato mochi cake,
Sweet potato in lemon syrup,
Pumpkin salad
Beef tartare
Spanish omlette

The buffet is the same format as before, you write down the items you want and the table number and pass it to the waitors.
I forgot to order the Japanese cheese and potato mochi cake and the Spanish omlette was not available that day.

Sweet potato in lemon syrup:
This looked different to the product shot, on the product shot it was a round shaped sweet potato ball on top of lemon slices.

Pumpkin Salad
The portion for this was huge!
It was pumpkin mixed with mayonnaise, and the taste not two sweet.

Beef Tartare:
The beef was thinner than it looked in the picture.
It was stale because the raw beef in the middle was not soft.

Most of the Sashimi was good, but there was one weird scallop that had a dark orange colour.[IMG:3
