Gingerbread and Nutella doughnut from Dum Dum Donutterie

Delicious buttercream filled gingerbread doughnut.
It had a bready mouthfeel and was non oily which made sense when I found out it was baked and not fried.
Overall, it was really decadent and not too sweet.
The buttercream was the star of the show.

Ended getting another doughnut again and it wasn't fluke it was good.

Again the buttercream was the star of the show.

The donuts were not labelled at the stall but was later told this was a nutella donut but failed to taste any nutella.

Overall delicious and not too sweet.

The texture was more like a cronut.

McDonalds big cheesy

McDonalds big & cheesy, a 100% beef patty, double cheese, red onions, crispy onions, fresh lettuce, and creamy cheese sauce in a toasted snowflake flour-dusted bun.
Tried this burger twice without lettuce and cheese slices because I wanted to appreciate the cheese sauce.
It was really nice but inconsistent at two different stores.
The good one was soft , flavourful and piping hot but came in the wrong box.
The dry and cold one came in a festive box with a Chinese auspicious 88 number lol.

Delicious duck from The Duck Shed London

Named The Duck Shed, they obviously specialize in duck.

You will find them here and there when they have a stall in London.

I believe I saw them outside Kings Cross station and various other places but ended up trying them at Kingdom of Winter at Excel.

Duck is so versatile and tastes good in general.
There are three choices: English, French and Vietnamese in the form of salad, burger or wrap.
Clearly the English and French were my choice.
I felt that the wrap held it better.
For the French, it was all good but lacked raclette cheese so the chutney and cornichons stole the show.
As for the duck it was just like confit/aromatic duck quality.

Marugame fried Christmas Stuffing balls

Deep fried stuffing balls from Marugame.
Too dry and sweet for my liking.

When udon meets Laksa at Kineya Mugimaru

When udon meets Laksa at Kineya Mugimaru
It never occurred to me visit Kineya Mugimaru because I am particular about Udon. 

It has to be inaiwa type of udon which is similar to tagliatelle in shape as I find the usual ones tasteless and difficult to eat. 

I finally made a visit because they had laksa. 

To my surprise, the udon was not bad and it was much thinner than the usual ones with a firm texture like hard ramen. 

You can see the udon is thinner than the tips of the chopsticks.
It was a nice bowl of udon laksa because the broth had a strong prawn base with heat, however I found it really spicy and it becomes spicier if you mix the red paste.

There was only two prawns but they were springy and crisp with the guts removed.

Returned for the Yaki Udon which was also nice but a little too sweet as expected.

The quality of the beef slices wasn't bad but clumped together.
