Funfetti, Vegan sticky toffee and Tiramisu cake at Ikea

I was really captivated by the funfetti cake at IKEA which is colourful and fun!

You have to get there really early because the cafe closes early and the restaurant does not sell it.

Finally made it one afternoon and it was totally worth it.

I didn't have any expectations as I thought the cake was going to be a Madeira type but it was proper soft and moist cake in the middle that was not too sweet.

The tiramisu was also, the cake texture was similar to the funfetti but with an overall light tiramisu flavouring.

Also tried the Sticky Toffee Pudding cake which is vegan.

It wasn't as nice as the funfetti because the cake texture was rather strange.

Hungarian food at The Hungry Tummy in London

Visited this shop as I was looking to try Hungarian egg soup but unfortunately they didn't offer it that day.

Other offerings I would have wanted to try was the tripe stew which could be similar to Polish tripe soup.

Anyway, will be back as I like the idea of their langos because you can get a whole piece or smaller pieces which you can use it to dip the sauce.

Pie Mash and chippy Chips at Something Fishy

I was on another pie mash quest this weekend and I had two choices in mind. Brook's in Dagenham or Something Fishy in Lewisham.

Something Fishy is actually a fish and chip shop that makes their own pie mash as well.

I decided to go to Something Fishy as I fancied some chips.

You cannot miss this restaurant on the high street because their signs and decor are loud and clear.

I loved the 1970s fixed seats and tables which give it a nice nostalgic touch and the fact that this place has been here for years.

Moving on to the food, I felt that the beef filling was rather bland and the pastry was underbaked.

The liquor was also bland with the usual cornstarch consistency.

Adding pepper and vinegar helped a bit but not much.

The chips on the other hand were amazing but when I saw fresh batch going in I felt the fresh blonde batch would have fared better being piping hot and freshly fried.

Overall, I would give 10/10 for the chips buts there was a oil aftertaste to it but compromised with sauces.

I managed to try chips with liquor which is something I have always wanted to try from BJ's pie mash in East Ham but everytime I go it is always sold out.

They use JJ Foodservice sauces so I got to try all the sauces in the range.

The tomato ketchup and chilli sauce were really good especially the tomato ketchup which is nice and tangy.

The burger sauce was not to my liking as I found it too sweet.

Lamb shank with red wine and rosemary sauce at IKEA

I have always wanted to try the Lamb shank from Ikea but it wasn't available on my last visit.
On this visit for the funfetti cake and vegan strips I ended up getting the lamb shank as the cakes were not available.

The texture of the lamb shank was soft and gelatinous and came off the bone nicely.
There was some bone barrow in the bone as well.
The only let down was the taste, it was tasteless because the meat didn't really absorb the sauce.

Tasting the watery sauce separately, I just found it rather sweet.
Adding salt, mustard and vinegar helped made it taste better.

You can get mash or chips which came with it but I didn't fancy either.
