Lunch at English & Continental Bar

I have always wanted to try this place but never checked it out, gut instinct knew this place was going to be good because the location is practically a dead spot yet people still dine here which is an indicator that it is worth trying otherwise people would not be coming.
The food did not let me down!

They did not have breakfast so I had sausage, egg, beans and chips.

The chips looked overdone as they were a bit dark but every chip was good and the egg was just right with a runny yolk.

The sausage was the usual with some gristle and the beans I believe were St Nicholas as they were not too sweet and the beans are distinctively smaller in size.

Classic Egyptian Koshary at Koshary Kitchen

I was drawn to Koshary Kitchen because I have only had one Egyptian meal so far and the food served at Koshary Kitchen was really different from that.
At Koshary Kitchen, they serve modern Koshary where you can mix and add things.

You can build and customize your bowls or choose the Signature bowls.

As I have not tried Koshary before, I decided to go for the Classic Koshary which is a national and popular street food in Egypt.

Interestingly, this dish combines Italian, Indian and Middle Eastern ingredients where you have mixed rice, macaroni and lentils topped with tomato sauce, garlic vinegar and fried onions.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but as a carbs lover, I liked all these elements and it was simply delicious.

The rice was really aromatic because it has been mixed with onion oil that was used to deep fry the crispy onions and the spicy tomato sauce and herbs including dill made it really appetizing.

It was really good that the garlic vinaigrette came in a tub so I could taste it with and without as well as adding it accordingly.

The crispy fried onions on top was the star of the show because it gave it an overall delicious crunch whilst having this perfect sweet fried onion taste.

You could taste the onions were freshly fried and just right as they were not bitter.

Overall, I am so glad I tried this dish.

Raspberry & White Chocolate Chouxnut from Caffe Nero

Caffe Nero is not my usual place to go because I don't really see them around.
I only paid them a visit because of the new Raspberry & White Chocolate Chouxnut.

Went there and saw two of them in the cabinet but as I was full I decided to get them the next day.

It was fate that the one I wanted was mine as it was the last one left as it was the same exact one I took a photo of the other day meaning it is a day old so I expected the chouxnut to be softer today but I was full yesterday or I would have dined there.

The raspberry chouxnut was delicious as expected.

Imagine it like a raspberry cream eclair presented in a ring form.

Overall not too sweet with lovely icing, tart freeze dried raspberries and fluffy cream.

Hopefully M&S will bring back the rhubarb custard chouxnut from 2019.

Perfect fried chicken at Katies Kitchen Peckham

I discovered this chicken shop because of the fortress of chicken boxes at the window
The fried chicken by the window looked good in the sense every piece of chicken was covered uniformly in golden coating so I decided to try it.
I tried my luck with one piece of chicken to see how their chicken was.
When I opened the box, I wasn't visually impressed because the bone was exposed.
Taking a bite the chicken was soft and seasoned, coming off the bone nicely which made up for the exposed bone.
On the way out I saw spicy wings just being brought out so I went back asap to try one as well.
The wings were bigger in general and uniformly coated.
Again, just my luck I got one that was a bit deformed but luckily the taste and quality was far too good to fault it.
Will definitely be back if I am in the area and hopefully I will get a tasty good piece of chicken that looks good.
