Soupless ramen with a difference at Koi Ramen, Brixton

There are so many Koi Ramen branches but I went to this particular one because it is located under the rail arches and feels like Japan. 

At first I was hesitant to try Koi because I am particular with ramen and the type of ramen they use but this is the thin type like hakata. 

Tried the Soupless ramen which was different and nice. 

Also known as abura soba/maze soba but this one was to my liking as the traditional ones use lard which is too heavy but here they use sesame oil which is much lighter and the noodles are thinner unlike the authentic ones which are thick.

The miso was a surprise because I thought it was going to be mellow like stated but the miso was strong like marmite to the nose the tofu puffs absorbed the flavours nicely.

This place can get quite steamy.

Thai food photo dump at MudMee, Kin + Deum and The Great Thai Restaurant

Thai food photo dump at MudMee, Kin + Deum and The Great Thai Restaurant.
I won't bother reviewing these because Thai food is just sweet and spicy in my opinion or oily and heavy like Chinese for stir fried items.
MudMee: Yen Fa To noodles and Khanom Jeen (this was actually nice because it was sour).





The Great Thai Restaurant: Yen Fa To and Pad Thai (both sweet), green tea tasted like lipstick.




Kin + Deum: Kao Pad Nam Liep (Thai Olive Rice) and Tom Yum Fries (just fries with tom yum seasoning)









Mcdonalds new chilli double cheeseburger

Think double cheeseburger, Mexican spices like cajun and Thai sweet chilli.
On first bite, it was a bit like chilli con carne but the chilli relish makes it sweet like thai sweet chilli.
However you do get some cumin/cajun spices going on but they are quite light.
It was ok but I am not a fan of sweet chilli so a double cheeseburger is probably better on its own.









Popeyes UK Christmas menu! Festive Stack

The Festive superstack sandwich is back as well as the sage onion hash brown and mint shake with oreo.
I just tried the hash brown which was tasty but lacked sage however the onion was strong and it was quite salty.
Visually you do not see as much herbs as shown on the product shot.

Wendys x Krabby patty collab

Wendys x Krabby patty collab and under the sea frosty with pineapple puree.
According to the staff at wendys, the krabby sauce is a mix of mayo and ketchup.
I only got the frosty as I didn't feel like a burger and it was nice.








Fish and Chips at Melfort fish bar

Visited Melfort fish bar as I am aiming to try all the chippies.
It is near Thornton heath station hidden on a residential road.
Prices are affordable and they offer skate and haddock as well which require 20 minutes to prepare.
As I had a train to catch I just got the cod and chips for 7 pounds.
The cod was tasty and comes with skin which is good.
Chips are crispy and soft in the middle.
As I needed a box [normally wrapped] the fish was too long so had to be folded over which reminded me of some morbid news where they sawed the legs from a corpse to fit in a coffin.

Curd Rice at Crispy Dosa, Croydon

Tried the new Crispy Dosa in Croydon.
The menu is limited compared to other branches like Wood Green which I tried previously. 
Since I have already tried dosa at the other branches had Curd Rice! 
It is an Indian savoury rice pudding. 
Creamy and delicious but it was spicy. I'm not sure if its meant to be spicy but the previous restaurant I went wasn't spicy. 
Anyway, this was a new restaurant and it was so problematic. 
Asked if they had curd rice before taking a seat. 
Then when I ordered they already said I ordered. Food took ages to arrive when curd rice is something from the fridge that is already made.
