Chips from Kennedy's Tooting

Thank you for the chips.
I must have chips printed all over my face because I do love chips.
Definitely to my liking, even late at night, they were uniformly golden.
This has been on my to go list in Tooting.
A unique fish and chip bar that serves a good range pies as well

Seventeen Fish Bar, Balham

Another chippy.
Crispy style chips served here.

McDonald's Easter Menu (UK 2024)

Easter is here again, McDonalds GB have some new items this 2024:
Hot Cross Bun Latte
Hot Cross Bun Pie
Galaxy Truffle Bunny McFlurry
Returning Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry

 
Hot Cross bun pie: expect the same filling as the mcdonalds Christmas mince pie filling with the same custard in their other pies launched before in a tasty cinnamon pastry.
The galaxy Bunny mcflurry, again same galaxy chocolate sauce with chocolate bunny heads.
The hot cross bun latte was nice with cinnamon whipped cream and dusting.

Greggs Scotch Pie exclusive in Edinburgh

Greggs Bakeries are everywhere but you will find exclusives items down South, up North etc.
In Edinburgh, they have Bloomers, Scotch Pie, Empire Biscuit, Fruit Scone, French Fancy, Pineapple Cake, Devon Doughnut, Jumbo Choc Ring Doughnut, Vanilla Doughnut and Apple Danish.
I only managed to spot the Scotch pie and the Devon doughnut which is a ring doughnut with cream.
The Scotch pie is basically a meat pie made of beef and mutton in a crumbly thin shortbread pastry with smooth minced meat in the middle.
Overall, nice and some vinegar would make it taste even better.

New branch of Krispy Kreme on Oxford Street

 

A touch of East London at Sangri Indian, Croydon High Street

Although I am always trying out different restaurants.
Sangri Indian is one that I return to because their food is comforting just like this restaurant in Stepney Green which closed down.
I love their vegetable side dishes as well as their rice.
The lemon rice I had is fluffy and appetizing which goes well with lots of dishes and the spinach mushroom side is amazing.

Also tried the butterfly king prawn which was massive as they use a whole tiger prawn.

The best E-fu noodles and Beef tendons in town at 九記牛腩 Kau Kee Restaurant

Kau Kee is a really famous joint for beef brisket so expect long queues.
[Visited this place twice and both visits felt very different.]

Usually beef brisket is paired with flat rice noodles, thin yellow noodles and other options but here it is popularly paired with E-fu noodles and it tastes so good that they serve plain E-fu noodles in soup too.

Beef brisket, tendons and E-fu noodles in curry sauce:
[First visit]
The curry was really nice because it had lots of caraway seeds in it which is how a good tasting beef brisket curry should contain.
Sadly the last time I had this delicious tasting beef brisket was in the UK which is a bit of a shame for something that I should be able to get readily in Hong Kong.
It was slightly too spicy and salty but it was good and the beef was soft.

[Second visit March, 2024]

On the second visit, I got more gelatinous and melt in your mouth tendons which was pleasing.

The brisket was a bit too tough and chewy this time but overall not bad but I could not taste the caraway seeds this time.

Plain E-fu noodles:
These are the best plain E-fu noodles you can get in Hong Kong.
It is really difficult to get good tasting E-fu noodles because not many people order this at restaurants so the uncooked noodles (in dry form) have probably been sitting there for quite a while therefore going rancid because of the environment.
But here, they are served nearly every minute which means they do not stay in the storeroom for long from the time they arrive from their suppliers.
Anyway, the E-fu noodles were lovely and al-dente when they arrived and the broth was sweet, loaded with lots of spring onions giving it a fresh taste.
