[Review] Limited Edition Nacho Chili Cheese Bake from Greggs

Spotted the new Limited Edition Nacho Chili Cheese Bake at Greggs so decided to give it a try.
The new bake is vegetarian and made up of sweet potato, mixed beans, quinoa, roasted mixed vegetables and jalapenos in a mexican style cheese sauce and is topped with a seasoned tortilla chip and mixed cheese crumb topping.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like it because of the sweet potato but when I took a bite, it was actually much nicer than expected.
If you like chili con carne, it is similar to that but the sweet potato chunks are not sweet as anticipated but nice and starchy, then you have the chili and cheese kick which makes it delicious.

As for the tortilla chip and mixed cheese crumb topping, it worked well because I liked the fine crumb toppings which don't get in the way when you eat it.
Overall, I would definitely get this again.
Also had a sausage roll which is always consistently good.

[Review] A lovely afternoon at Tin Cafe

Discovered Tin cafe when I was getting puddings round the corner.

Tin Cafe was different, every part of the cafe is well decorated even though everything is mismatched from the cinema folding chairs to regular tables.

Personally I was drawn by the injection vials which have been redesigned into lights and the lamp shade by the counter is made with paper label tags.

The light shade in the middle is made of rail tracks and there are just so many things to be noticed like the bags hook underneath one of the tables.

The face thing with a switch tells you the time when you press the switch!!

I was there for tea that afternoon and it was great sitting by the window watching people from all walks of life going past.

Although it was my first visit, you could feel how popular this cafe is and the owner Tanya Carson is truly amazing because she literally knows all the people who come in or walk past.

[Review] Comforting school puddings at the Cake and Custard Factory

After getting some comforting school style puddings from The Caramel Tart Company, I discovered that they had a dessert shop on Commercial Road near Whitechapel so I just had to go there.

It is a lovely place to spend an afternoon or go there after school if you are a still a student.

There is a lovely glass cabinet which displays all the desserts and menu.

Strangely I didn't try the caramel tart at the other branch which was called Caramel tart because I was overwhelmed with all those sponge desserts so I tried the caramel tart here with custard.

The caramel tart base was thin and crumbly complimented deliciously by the custard but it would be good if they had the school type shallow bowls to give it that complete school feeling.

Will definitely recommend this to anyone as it is a lovely place to hangout.
