[Review] Fen Noodles
Dumpling Shack, the successful dumpling joint at Old Spitalfields now has a sister!
The noodles were freshly made unlike restaurants in Hong Kong but obviously if you go to China, you would probably get the real deal.
The noodles were firm and al dente as expected with a good degree of spiciness.
I found the mild spiciness to be extremely spicy so be warned.
Hope to return for the curry biang if I am back and try the Dumpling Shack as well.
Enter Fen Noodles which serves hand pulled biang biang noodles to order.
On the menu, you can choose the traditional lamb noodles, dry noodles etc.
There was also a tempting biang biang noodle with curry and potato but I decided to go for the traditional as it was my first time here.
As it is North Eastern Chinese food, expect the food to be spicy with tonnes of garlic.

Tiger Noodles at [笑麵虎車仔麵 Tiger Noodles & Bar]
Spotted this joint across the road because of the cute tiger.
At first I got confused because I thought it was the curry place Tiger Room and Tiger San but it turns out to be Tiger Cart noodles.
Anyway, I was captivated by the noodles because they had beetroot and spinach.
As I have had spinach numerous times, I decided to try the beetroot but it was sold out.
Luckily they offered me Kale noodles which I haven't tried before.
The noodles had a grassy smell and flavour while the texture was very slippery when you pick them up with chopsticks.
The vegetable broth I had was very sweet but quite nice.

Peggy Porschen's cakes
Loved the instaworthy mushroom entrance.
As for the cakes, the spiced toffee apple is a must try.
It is best to get there early in the morning like 11am if you want some good photos.

Winter is coming! Time for claypot dishes with Kee Wah Sausages
It's drawing near winter so in Hong Kong it is time for hotpots, snake soup and preserved sausages.
At Kee Wah Bakery, they also make traditional sausages.
The sausages make great gifts to overseas relatives because they have English and Chinese instructions.
Both sausages had fragrant Chinese wine in it which you could smell when they were being steamed and when they were ready to eat.
Personally I prefer liver sausages because I love that rich taste with pieces of liver infused with fragrant wine that is really strong.

[Review] Nandos in Eastbourne
Nandos has been in UK since 1992.
Although they serve Portuguese food, this big chain originates from South Africa.
They started off in West London as a takeaway and began to pop up as a restaurant everywhere in 2013.
You can now find Nandos in most modern gentrified malls, even at old fashioned Eastbourne which got a makeover.
Decided to try the Eastbourne branch so I could compare it to London.
Went there on a weekend evening around 7 before the dinner rush.
Ordered and waited for the food to arrive.
The wait was forever compared to London.
We could see lot of meals were ready at the counter but no one had time or were too busy to bring them over to the diners.
Apart from the wait, food was good with the usual choice of sauces at the bar.
The menu offers more healthy choices than before like vegetables and vegan milk.
For children they also offer Chilly Billy lollies as a dessert treat on the kids menu.

[Restaurant Review] Sam's Chicken
A while ago I was captivated by Sam's drumsticks bucket which seemed a good deal but as I have never tried Sam's I wasn't sure if their chicken was good.
Finally went to Sam's for their #friedchicken but I think I went the wrong time as the chicken was a bit cold and dry.
I am glad I only got one piece on my first visit and didn't get the bucket.
Although I wasn't impressed with the chicken I still want to try the katsu curry rice.
