Plant based protein choices by Gold & Green at Tacobell UK

For veganuary 2021, Tacobell now has a plant based option for their tacos.

Customers can opt for the Gold & Green’s Pulled Oats® for its new plant-based meat which is made from an innovative blend of oats and legumes while in the US, Tacobell uses beyond meat.
Using pulled oats definitely makes sense because I tried these overnight oats and they did have a meaty texture.

I was so excited in trying the UK version because I have already tried beyond meat elsewhere in Asia.
Due to the current situation, you cannot dine in and sadly I live far away so I only got a taco to try because it is hard for me to indulge and taste things properly to eat standing up as well as take photos.

With the taco, there is cheese, plant based protein and lettuce so if you want it completely vegan then it will be just lettuce and cheese.
So basically, for the tacos, you can choose the supreme or regular with a choice of soft taco or the crunchy taco.
The supreme has lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and sour cream while the regular Crunchy taco has just lettuce.

As I wanted to try the Plant based protein properly I ordered the regular with just lettuce.
You can also order other items like burritos with the plant based option.
When I collected my taco, finding a spot to eat was challenging as you are not allowed to dine in at the moment.
The guy who collected his the same time as me opted to stand outside a shop nearby and eat but as I wanted to take some pictures I went to a bench nearby.
Normally I would choose the soft taco but for photos, I decided to get the crunchy taco as it holds better.

I was quite surprised how nice the crunchy taco was because I have been put of corn made things from Doritos and bad corn tacos from other places.
Again, because it was a simple taco, it let me appreciate the different ingredients alone so the plant based protein was how I expected it to be with a meaty texture just like overnights oats texture without the soggyness.
Adding hot sauce to it made the whole thing so delicious that having one is definitely not enough because it combines the delicious crunchy taco with the protein and lettuce.
Overall, the crunchy tacobell with plant based protein is definitely worth trying.

If I get to go to America one day I would try their vegetarian version and see how it compares.

After writing this up, I was really chuffed to get interviewed by the Cheesy Gordita Bunch (Nick, Devin and Jordan) on episode 13 about how I felt about this meatless taco.

Crazy hot chocoate at Senzory zero

Hot chocolate is a comforting drink on a cold day.
Dark Sugars on Brick Lane have been famous since 2014 for their hot chocolates topped with a mountain of tricolour chocolate shards.
Now there is a similar drink Crazy chocolate at Sensory zero in Hong Kong but I think it reminds me more of SAID DAL..
