Useless menu at Meet Fresh, London

Meet Fresh is a Taiwanese dessert company that does Taiwanese desserts.

After browsing the menu, unless you've had this dessert before the menu isn't exactly helpful because the only difference is the tiny product pictures and the numbers.

Being in London, I felt that the menu should be more informative for people who have not tried this dessert or perhaps they are trying to be selective with customers.

In these situations, you can only call for the help on google to for online delivery platforms which have information on the desserts.

The grass jelly was nice but wouldn't return.

Brunch at Flint House Reigate

Dined here because it was an independent cafe and the fact they had a Scotch egg breakfast where they make their own scotch eggs.
Unfortunately they were sold out so ordered the boiled egg and soldiers and Reuben sandwich.

We were told the Scotch eggs were sold out when ordering but the couple next to use only found out when the breakfast was brought to their table and replaced with something else.

Sadly we are in a Sourdough era where everything served is sourdough.
I'm not old but I wonder if the elderly generation who were brought up on toast enjoy sinking their teeth in this.
The only fortunate thing was that the sourdough was supplied from Chalk Hill farms a local bakery.
Other than that, food was good.
Since it was sourdough, you can expect the usual crunchy chewy textures and the distinctive taste.

Delicious modern and traditional Murtabaks at Gopal's Corner (Singmalay UK)

To be honest, I used to think Gopal's Corner was Indian fare because they had roti and all that but it turns out that they serve Malaysian food.

Visited this eatery quite a few times and tried a variety of Murtabaks and laksa.

The laksa was very nice, it had a coconutty broth which was rich and thick with a reasonably spicy kick paired with thick egg noodles.

Had it twice, the first time, the soup was flavourful while the second time was spicier and bland.

All savoury murtabaks come with dhal curry which was not to my liking because of the spices and it tastes so different to other curries.

The chicken murtabak was lovely as it was crisp and eggy on the outside with moist chicken in the middle.

The star of the show for me was the spinach and cheese which was obviously there for vegetarians and it was seriously good because who doesn't love melted cheddar and spinach.

The banana murtabak is basically similar to a banana pancake but on the sweet side.

Last but not least was the Roti with margarine and condensed milk.

Same as Hong Kong style French Toast but nicer because the texture of Roti is nicer than Hong Kong toast which has a weird texture.

Luxury chocolate bars by Barnaby

Stumbled upon this sign saying Test Kitchen so went closer to have a look expecting cooked food but it turns out to be lots of chocolate bars.
As a curious foodie, I asked what they were and was told it was freshly made waffles covered in chocolate.
I'm not a fan of waffles but decided to give it a try.
There were a few flavours that day: red velvet cream, tiramisu, cookies dough, hazelnut pretzel so I went for the red velvet.
The pricing was confusing as there were classics and creams which isn't clearly labelled but it seems they have different flavours everyday to test the market.
It turns out the red velvet was a cream so I paid 4 pounds for it.
Taking a bite, I was impressed and glad it wasn't for the bin.
The chocolate was thick that it cracked like a big Easter egg and it was a nice chocolate as well which was smooth and rich.
Inside there was chewy red layers of red velvet waffles which I am not sure was meant to be chewy or crisp but chewy is better in my opinion.
There was the dreamy white chocolate cream in between which was heaven.
Although they are described as chocolate covered waffles, I felt that they were like posh chocolate bars to the next level.

Visited a few days later to get some for my friend so got to try their hot chocolate which was indulgent.

I managed to chat to the guy and they said they will have choc ices for the summer which I simply can't wait.

Costa Hot Milkshakes

I'm sure everyone is just like me, what the heck is a hot milkshake?
At first, I thought it was hot chocolate with cream on top but it turns out to be hot milk with thickeners.
There are three flavours: strawberry white chocolate, hazelnut chocolate and salted caramel.
Only the salted caramel contains coffee.
Judging by their artificial strawberry frappe I opted for salted caramel.
To my surprise, the salted caramel hot milkshake was bliss and comforting.
I sipped with caution as I expected it to burn like hot chocolate but it wasn't as hot as anticipated.
The salted caramel was a little thick and viscous like sabayon sauce and very different to cold milkshake which is more like melted ice cream.
Overall, I really liked it as it was sweet and creamy yet not cloying with a strong butterscotch tasted and a hint of coffee to balance.
Definitely would get this again.
