Caramilk Creations Café

Cadburys Caramilk a popular chocolate was finally brought to the UK last year and which proved a success as it sold out really fast.

At the Caramilk Creations Café, you can try famous Aussie Caramilk recipes like the caramilk shake, caramilk & raspberry cookie, caramilk rocky road and the Caramilk bar itself.

As it was a hot day, I tried the milkshake which was really creamy and decadent.

Sadly it was difficult trying the bar itself because it was such a hot day that it was melted and squidgy but on the positive side, I used it as caramilk icing!

Crispy Tindle burger at Brewdog

TiNDLE is a Singapore based chicken alternative which can be found internationally in the US, Germany, Netherlands, London as well as Hong Kong.

The meat alternative is made of texturized soy protein and wheat gluten.
I tried their chicken alternative at a popup in SOHO where I got this really nice bucket hat.

Recently I reached out to Tindle because I lost my beloved Tindle hat and they got back to me saying that I could try their burger as well at a partner restaurant so I was really chuffed to get to visit Brewdog which is on my list after trying the Hong Kong branch.

The London branch is so much bigger and offers a much more complex food menu as well as plant based options with many alternative brands which they see fit to serve.

In the burger section, there are two options for Tindle burgers.

I opted for the Carolina which is layered with heirloom tomato slices in a colourful beetroot burger bun sprinkled with poppy seeds and chia seeds.

If you try TiNDLE on its own, it is almost like chicken but the texture is like fibres and a bit mushy similar to the Seitan meat alternatives offered in Hong Kong where the texture is stringy and soft.

However, it tastes really good served in a burger with sauces.

For those in the UK, you can visit Brewdog and those in Hong Kong can get it from NOSH.

Tea and Cakes at V&A Museum Cafe

To be honest, I prefer cakes and treats from independent bakeries but I visited the V&A Museum cafe because a friend wanted to go.

The food at the Museum cafe is helmed by Benugo which you will find at quite a few places.

Overall, I was quite impressed with their cakes which were not too sweet and tasty as well as being affordable.

Hakka Noodles at Apna Adda Indian Street Food

Apna Adda is a hole in a wall eatery in the hustle and bustle of Leicester Square.

It is easily missed as it is literally a small shop.

Prices for Indian food are affordable and the menu serves a good range of starters, biyanis and curries.

I felt that I had to try the Hakka noodles as they had them there and I didn't fancy having them in an expensive place.

Sadly, they were disappointment as they noodles were not even hot and very salty.

The chewy chicken pieces were the worst and taste like left over chicken that were salted to disguise that.

Malibu courtside confession with pizza from VooDoo Rays

It's summer and what better to do than enjoy the sun with refreshing malibu!!!

I attended the Malibu courtside confession at Brixton Jamm where a Malibu party was held.

There was a mini artificial sand beach and huts with glitter booths and pizza from VooDoo Rays.

The drinks were amazing so were the pizzas but I couldn't quite taste the blue cheese in the pizza.

Bread Ahead doughnuts

Bread ahead is like the doughnut king at Borough market, you will always find queues at the stall.

It is also a bakery school hence you can expect quality bakery.
Finally gave their doughnuts a try which start at £2 for a plain one where filled ones cost £4.50.

To summarize their doughnuts are well filled with so many indulgent choices like pistachio, Eton mess, honeycomb etc.

I felt that I had to try a plain as well as pistachio and vanilla custard which was a popular choice.

Overall, I enjoyed the plain one the most as it was simple and satisfying, the texture of the doughnut was spot on being soft with a chew and slightly bready.

The filled custard was a bit too rich for me and the pistachio creme lacked pistachio taste.

To summarize I would only reccommend the plain and definitely a bargain for £2 if you compare it to other plain ones which cost more than that at kiosks and other cafes.

Revisited again in late august 2024 because of the new black to school doughnut.

Great to see a notable bakery doing old fashioned back to school jam cream doughnuts in a touristy area so more people can know about it. 

Overall, you get the bread ahead signature fluffy and soft doughnut with jam and a custardy cream.

It was quite nice but the frying oil was a bit strong which you can taste on the doughnut surface.

The custard was not too sweet but a little starchy and the seeds were a little bit annoying.

Greggs Bakery opens in Leicester Square

In this day and age, it is sad to see many traditional British bakeries struggle and many have disappeared like Percy Ingles.

It is good to see that Greggs have been successful with so many branches and they even did a collab with Primark and launched some great clothing merchandize with another round in August 2022.

Greggs have always been affordable serving delicious sausage rolls and bakes as well as vegan options.

A few weeks ago they opened right in the heart of Leicester so you can get your sausage roll cravings satisfied which will provide a cheap fix in amongst all the expensive eateries nearby!

On a super hot day, I went to the opening and queued up for the VIP access where you get a non alcoholic bubbly and a delicious free sausage roll.

Overall, I had an amazing time saw Queen Pasty!

Greggs kept everyone hydrated that day giving out Greggs water!
