Moroccan basbousa at Dough and so bakery

Along Uxbridge road, there are many Moroccan joints.
I dined at Dough and so bakery because they had cake which looked like an English coconut sponge cake.

It turns out to be Moroccan busouba semolina cake which was delicious but the texture was too wet and soggy for my liking like Indian gulab.

Authentic Filipino food at Adela’s Carinderia London

I love Filipino food which has a lot of Spanish influence especially the how the way the dishes have Spanish in the names and the dishes are to my liking because a lot of it is cooked with vinegar.

At Adela's they have all day chicken arroz caldo (congee) which is hard to come by especially when you have problems with being early!!

Having not had Filipino food for ages, I got the congee, baby squid Adobong Pusit and palabok which is rice noodles in a shrimp sauce topped with crispy pigs skin etc.

The congee is made with glutinous rice hence has a thicker viscous texture than Chinese congee made with regular rice. 

Overall, everything was really nice but on the down side, Filipino cuisine is very calorific with pork belly and fat etc.

Apple pie roll with caramel sauce at Chopstix, Croydon

Chopstix is everywhere and a year ago in July they opened in Croydon.

I finally tried it recently because of the apple pie roll with caramel sauce.

It is basically apple pie filling a super crunchy green roll.

I found it a bit too sweet without even using the sauce.

McDonalds new improved buns (UK)

Went to McDonalds to try a burger because the big mac, quarter pounder and double cheeseburger now feature an improved bun.
Onions are placed on the beef after it is cooked to make it more savoury according to mcdonalds.
Anyway, I went for the double cheeseburger because the bun does not have sesame seeds.
The bun is basically glossy and brioche style because these days people eat with their eyes.
Previously, it was the matt dry looking version.
Anyway, this branch is consistently stingy with onions hence I requested extra and removed the gherkins and ketchup because I wanted to use the heinz pickle ketchup which tastes of both evenly mixed.
Apart from the burger looking visually a little nicer ie more posh, the taste was the same but I don't think this is a fair comment because standards are particular poor at this branch.
Anyway, I need to revisit again at another branch because I forgot to take a picture of the bun.

Bang Bang food hall

Just your usual Asian food hall!
The only food worthy was the dim sum from Royal China.

The noodles were disgusting, they had that disgusting metallic taste.

ASDA Cafe at Isle of Dogs

There are not many ASDAs around depending on your location so ASDA Cafes would even be more a rarity because there are simply not many.

At a recent visit to the Isle of dog asda, there was an ASDA cafe so went in to have a look.

It was clean, spacious and generally impressive.

The battered fish looked really good and so did the rest of the stuff.

Unfortunately, I had tasting nearby which was the reason I was in the area so I couldn't eat anything but had a mini doughnut instead.

It was definitely well filled for that size compared to other brands.

Overall, would definitely recommend this place.
