Best Rainbow toastie at Pancake Art Café

I have always wanted to try the rainbow toastie ever since seeing them at various places but there is nothing like home.

Pancake Art Café serves possibly UK's first and best rainbow toastie.

Hope this is here to stay because I have seen so many Rainbow toasties come and go!

They have done all the magic and hard work that every rainbow toastie comes out with the perfect rainbow pull!

It was a really comforting cheese toast because they have used a good toast that holds it together and a blend of cheeses that give it a good pull as well as that lovely cheddar taste.

Overall, it was flawless as the visual, experience and taste delivered.

Pancake Art Cafe is located in the hipster part of Camden, you are greeted with a holographic area where they prepare the food and there is a side where you can sit down and enjoy the food.

It is founded by To home from London, where they do Design-led souvenirs which you may have seen at Christmas by the river in London as well as their pancakes.

As well as Pancake Art Cafe, you could also get rainbow toasties from grill my cheese, also in Melbourne which are Korean style and there used to be one in Hong Kong but again there is nothing like home that beats a proper toastie with proper cheese.

Thank you for having us @pancakeart.cafe @tohomefromlondon

Limited edition Subway strawberries and cream cookie

Just for fun, I got the Limited edition Subway strawberries and cream cookie
It was the usual subway cookie texture but I found the strawberry chunks artificial tasting.
Would have enjoyed strawberry jam instead of those strawberry chunks.

The most expensive doughnut that I got from Hideaway

THIS HAS DEFINITELY BROKEN MY RECORDS BEING THE MOST EXPENSIVE DOUGHNUT I EVER PAID FOR AT £9!!!
I just had to get it because at a glance I saw cherry and custard
The one outside was for display and they had more inside.
As a foodie, I examine my food eg the fillings etc.
I was amused to see the bottom of the doughnut had been sliced off probably to make it stand up in the box????
Overall, there were no complaints, the taste was good, it was not too sweet or oily.
While I was eating, I couldn't help notice this gritty texture in the cream, it turns out that it was Mahleb custard which makes sense.
Mahleb is a spice made from Prunus mahaleb cherry stones which are cracked for the seed kernel.
It also explains, why the cherries in the filling were so different, the mouthfeel of these cherries was like grape skin.
For takeaway, I was well equipped with napkins and utensils without me requesting.

Dino's hot dogs

So a new hot dog place opened in Croydon hence I had to give them a go.
On the menu, you can go for classic or global.
It was really nice that they let me customize the hot dogs.
I started off with some basic dogs with some of their special sauces like chimmichurri mayo, piri piri.
Then I also had a Classic to appreciate simplicity.
To summarize, I really like their dogs because they are tasty and the classics are the best especially with sauerkraut, mustard and ketchup.
The chimmichurry mayo was a bit too creamy for my liking, I was expecting the sauce to be green like pesto consistency.
The piri piri glaze turned out to be another good one but the piri mayo wasn't needed because it was too creamy.
Last but not least the bun, it was nice and soft but I prefer the basic white ones because I find brioche too sweet.

be-oom Korean tea shop and garden

Discovered this Korean tea shop while I was at Exmouth market.

Overall, it was a nice place to relax and have some teas.

Tried the Early Sparrow and got a dysfunctional tea pot because the staff took out the strainer which means you can't put the lid back on and the tea goes cold very quickly.

Also tried the sparkling malcha (green tea) which was basically green tea mixed with Harrogate sparkling water which wasn't quite worth it.

Delicious Lamb and mint style sausage rolls from Northfield Farm at Borough Market

Spotted these Lamb and Mint style sausage rolls on my last visit to Borough Market so had to return for some.

They turned out to be just as delicious as expected.

Although the pastry looked well done, it had that extra firmness to hold all that meat together.

Not only was it was it functional, the pastry was surprisingly tasty as well and you could taste the meat juices infused in the pastry.

The minced lamb filling was certainly good as it was a lovely quality and did not contain any nasty chewy bits or bone fragments while there was no gaminess.

The meat roll was slightly oily but it was forgivable.

This is probably the best and only lamb roll I have had.

If only there was some vinegary mint sauce on the side and that would have made it heaven so next time I'm definitely going to bring some mint sauce next time to go with it!!

Gelato at Amorinos

Finally tried Amorino which has these really unique flavours every now and then like the white chocolate black pepper tonka and caramelized apple gelato and macaron.
The only annoying thing is that you can't try out the flavours so its either a hit or miss depending if the flavour is to your liking.
In my case, the cherry was too sweet.
