Authentic Langos in Stratford

My friend is Hungarian so her mum would serve all sorts of Hungarian delights when I went round her house.

I had strong memories of this crispy bread with fresh garlic and sour cream as well as delicious rice with peas and cheese.

Recently, I saw an article about Hungarian Langos which reminded me of her cooking so I decided to venture out for some Langos which lead me to Stratford.

The booth at Stratford serves a few options for Langos so I went for the traditional which comes with garlic, sour cream and cheese.

Minus the cheese, it tasted exactly the same as the one my friend's mum made so it was really comforting.

I loved the crispy soft dough with the garlic and sour cream.

The cheese makes it extra tasty like a pizza.

You can think of it like a savoury doughnut or a Chinese crueller.

As well as the default choices, you can also choose 4 toppings so on my next visit I will choose garlic, sour cream and mushrooms and onions which makes a Hungarian style pizza!

They also do Chimney cakes which tastes like a combination of croissant, doughnut and churros which I plan to try as well but they are monstrous in size.

Thukpa at Urban Yak

It has been so many years since I had Thukpa as not many restaurants serve it.

I love Thukpa because the broth is strong and punchy.

Thupka is a Tibetian soup noodle which is really flavourful.

In London, there are more options for Thukpa so I narrowed it down to Urban Yan because their menu was clearly laid out and I liked their modern approach with pictures.

When I saw a photo of the Thukpa, I knew this was the place.

Urban Yak is located really close to Brockley station which is handy.

On the menu, you can get it vegetarian or have it with chicken, pork, mutton or seafood so I chose mutton.

When the noodles came, they looked exactly how I saw it on social media minus the piece of lemon.

Tasting a sip of the broth, I loved the heat and tanginess from the lemon.

The noodles were a bit different to the place I had it but they will were still good, you will find they are the same ones used in Chinese takeaways which are the chunky ones.

I found them a bit slippery on chopsticks but overall these noodles are really worth trying because it is loaded with vegetables and the broth is really moreish.

The mutton was a let down as it was dry, dark and chewy just like jerky but they were really kind to waive 50p to offset the mutton.

Visited again and had the chicken noodles, they were tasty as well but there were too much vegetables in it which was annoying so Thukpa is still my favourite to recommend at this restaurant.

Cute rabbits, dogs and rose mousses all coming from the same mold.

If you can't travel to Asia, then you can now get them in London.

Desserts I have tried in Asia.

Rabbit from McCafe and the rose.

Dog from some restaurant.

Vegan pizz at Nxt Lvl Pza

I found out a while ago about Nxt Lvl Pza because of the mini pizzas they were doing.
Finally visited their popup in SOHO as I was in the area.
The choices of pizzas were fantastic and I love their insane combos and crazy flavours like the chicken nugget pizza and burger pizza etc.

In the end, I got the burger pizza which has a tomato base with cashew cheese topped with mince by Beyond Meat, red onions, gherkins & burger sauce on top. 
The burger sauce and gherkins took it to the nevel level as it was really tasty and the beyond meat pieces were surprisingly meaty.

On top of that the dough base had a really nice pillowy texture with a pull.

I liked the way how they have collaborated with the big Vegan brands like THIS for the nuggets, mince from Beyond and Omni etc.

VFC Vegan Fried Popcorn Chick*n taste test at the Kings Cross Popup

 I love trying vegan food so this time I got to try Vegan Fried Popcorn Chick*n by VFC food because they had a popup at Kings Cross.

The texture was really impressive because it was soft with a great meaty texture without being too dry.

Adding sauces to it made it taste even better even though they were already tasty on their own.

I liked the coating which was coarse with cornflakes which gives it that extra crunch to contrast the the vegan chicken.

So in comparison with other vegan chicken products I have tried, I would say it is close to the Vegan fillet at UK KFC except with a different coating.

Both are Southern style but VFC is crunchier.
