Visiting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle lair pop-up in Waterloo

It was really fun going to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle lair pop-up in Waterloo which was just like the movie set in the sewers because Leake Street is just like that.

The best part was the sewer entrance and there were slushies to drink.

In the evenings, there were pizzas too but I wasn't there.

Stuffed Yorkshire/Yorkie platter at Toby Carvery's

I have always wanted to try this at Toby's Carvery but most of the items can be found at the carvery except the camembert.
Finally tried it and it looked so much nicer than the product shot.
Each yorkie was uniform in shape and size which is so different to the ones at the carvery.
However they forgot the Camembert on the pigs in blankets.
The cheese with pesto I believe was cheddar and not camembert.
Other than that it was quite satisfying because of the variety.

Yorkshire wraps and stuffed Yorkshires/Yorkies at Toby Carvery

Whoever invented the Yorkshire wrap is a genius.
My first Yorkshire wrap was from the stall in Camden.
Now you can get them from Tobys Carvery for 5.49 which is a steal but the branch I visited need some improvement.
There were so many choices so I decided to try 3 over a few lunches.
The prawn cocktail was a bit out of the norm but had to be tried as you didn't have to pay extra for it.
The other two I had was cheese and red onion chutney and the roast turkey club.
Overall, the wraps were nice but it needed help on presentation because they seemed to have used the wrong side of the wrap.
The cheese chutney was too sweet because they were too generous with the chutney.
The turkey club was my favourite because I love stuffing, ham and mayo.
Last but not least, the King prawn turned out to be shrimps but in a good way because King Prawns would be too bouncy.
The amount of shrimps were generous and the sauce was just right and not too sweet or acidic.
Not your usual roast and wrap ingredients but look at all that shrimp.

Mushroom burger and Winger Winger Chicken at Patty & Bun

Went to Patty & Bun as it was one of the restaurants not tried on that stretch.

Tried the Winger Winger Chicken Dinner & Portobello ‘Dig it’ Mushroom Burger where the burger was similar to Shake shack but I loved the tarragon sauce in it which you can really taste.

The chicken wing confit was just chicken wings covered in buffalo sauce.

The wings were a bit stiff and not on the moist side to drip with chicken juice but I believe they are a side product as burgers are the main star of the show.

Chicken tenders at Slims chicken

I have always wanted to try Slims chicken because it is Southern food.
Overall, it is quite impressive because the menu does not deviate much from the US.

The only items not available here are the fried okra and mushrooms whereas UK as gravy mayo and they don't.

It is interesting, they serve toast but I wish they had grilled cheese as well.

Anyway, tried the chicken tenders which were good visually from the coating as it was even as well as the colour after it had been fried.

The chicken was soft and moist and went well with the blue cheese dip that I chose.

Also had the toast because I didn't understand why Americans would have toast on the menu.

The toast is very different in the sense that it is sweet and a bit like garlic bread with herbs.

The mac and cheese was quite cheesy and creamy.

Also tried the gravy mayo exclusive to UK which was had a twang to it like salad cream and it was not as savoury as I had hoped.

Rooster Chicken & Fish Purley [Review]

I love fried chicken shops so whenever there is one I have not been to, I will definitely try their fried chicken.

Who knew that Rooster Chicken & Fish would be serving seriously good Fish and Chips which beats this other fish and chip shop nearby and even my locals.

On my first few visits, I only had fried chicken but one day I decided to be brave and try the fish and chips which turned out to be amazing.

As well as my favourite place, this is another place I go regularly because it is easy to travel to.

I was gobsmacked they serve real chippy chips along with their normal chips for the chicken.

The chips are soft and fluffy in the middle and the fish comes with skin.

You won't feel bloated after having it and  the prices are so affordable.

Asteroid City diner pop up

Although I have not watched Asteroid City, as a foodie I had to go to the Asteroid City diner pop up which has a 1950s theme serving diner style food.

I didn't know you could just go to the diner without going to the exhibition so I ended up going to the exhibition as well.

The menu is limited and not what is offered on the board but they do have milkshakes, hot dogs etc.

Ordered the pancakes with bacon, hot dog, jello, tomato juice and gooseberry milkshake.

I was actually looking forward to the gooseberry milkshake which is unusual and it made me wonder if it was even American.

Overall, I enjoyed the jello and gooseberry swirl milkshake.

The jello is just jelly topped with whipped coconut cream where you can really taste the coconut in the cream.

I have a feeling it was made with Hartley's jelly!

As for the milkshake, it was different and the tartness of the gooseberry went well with the vanilla ice cream.
