I've been fancying a @humblecrumblelondon all of l I've been fancying a @humblecrumblelondon all of lockdown and finally got my greedy chops around one a few weeks back at Spitalfields Market. Situated next door to arguably the best burgers in London with @bleeckerburger You've got the ultimate market 2 courser. You choose your size from two standard or large, pick your base fruit, which then gets topped in crumble. I went for a standard size with rhubarb layer of fruit. Youcan upgrade with a couple of other options for a small extra charge and I opted for vanilla custard and a freshly piped pink meringue, which is torched in front of you. Finally there's a choice of some complimentary toppings such as nuts, meringue pieces and roses. Here I went for the meringue and rose speckles. It was everything you want in a crumble, with seasoned fruit, crunchy crumble then a thick custard perfumed with vanilla. A smooth, blistered meringue, flecked with crunchy nugs of crisp meringue and a floral kick from the rose. . . . . . . #humblecrumble #dessertspoon #Londondesserts #sweettoothforever #sweetcravings #dessertoftheday #instadessert #eaterlondon #eastlondon #Londonmarkets #dessertgoals #deliciousdesserts #foodmania #dessertshots #instagrammablelondon #toplondoneats #londonfoodshare #comfortfood #pudding #foodinlondon #london_city_photo #londonist #dessertsofinstagram #crumble #custardpudding #meringues #spitalfieldsmarket #londonfood #londonfoodbloggers #cardiffblog

If you're yet to try the delicious chicken burgs f If you're yet to try the delicious chicken burgs from @chronicfriedchicken yet, then a new menu launch is the perfect excuse. New on the menu: 🐔 Nduja Buffalo Burger - Brined crispy fried chicken, Nduja Buffalo mayonnaise, blue cheese mousse, house dill pickles and shredded iceberg in an organic potato roll 🐔 Smoked Chilli & Lime Burger - Brined crispy fried chicken, smoked chilli jam, lime mayonnaise, house dill pickles and shredded iceberg in an organic potato roll 🐔 Korean BBQ Burger - Brined crispy fried chicken, sticky Korean BBQ sauce, toasted seasame mayo in an organic potato roll Still on the menu is their v-cut fries, especially good I their chronic fries with crispy fried sliths of chicken and gravy. We had ours delivered to the house, all ordered through yoello, but if you fancy eating in, you can find Chronic cooking out of The Deep on St Mary Street (formerly the jazz cafe).
AD | have you ever wanted to take a rock star alon AD | have you ever wanted to take a rock star along with you to a party? Well now's your chance with the latest release from @snowdoniacheese with Rock Star. A vintage Welsh Cheddar aged in slate caves, till just right to eat. This stuff is proper rich and creamy and coats your mouth like a thick clotted cream, leaving a lingering savoury taste. This pairs very well with Snowdonias range of chutneys too, including the Rhubarb and Gin or the Fig and apple, which I tried it with earlier, on top of some buttermilk biscuits from Millers. I think this makes an excellent addition to the @snowdonia range especially when you're fancying a strong cheddar, but don't want to blow your head off with the Black Bomber (if that's ever possible).
Popped to the newly opened @kindle_cardiff today. Popped to the newly opened @kindle_cardiff today. It's been a long time coming so nice to see the place finally open. I used to work across the road and my desk used to overlook the Wardens House and left there 2 years ago. I've not been to Nook in Canton, but it's a similar vibe (same people behind it) with small sharing plates and natural wines. I liked the outdoor area here though just at the entrance of Sophia Gardens, with a working veg and herb garden, being used by the kitchen. We didn't go as wild as we normally would, as we're in London all weekend for Meatopia. What we ordered: - Flat bread with burnt aubergine butter (least fav dish) - Crispy potatoes with confit egg - Artichoke carrot chicken - Lamb ribs galbi (fav dish!) - Quail, champ with gravy - Oatcake, roast apple and rosemary - Cannoli, chocolate and custard. I enjoyed what we did have, although wasn't overly keen on the flatbread. The ribs were lush and I did enjoy the quail, which was a bit like a posh KFC with the fried bird, mash and gravy. Not forgetting the crispy balls of potato, soaked in confit egg. Proper comfort dish those. Was a bit disappointed with the size on the Oatcake dessert, which was £7 for one bite. All in all the food was really good. The food is fresh and seasonal, so expect it to change regularly. This wouldn't be a place to just call in for lunch and definitely a treat, due to the price and amount you get for that. There's a white, red or rose wine by the glass from £6.50, beer or IPA by the glass with half at £2.75 pints at £5.50 Theres 4 cocktails on the menu too, so something for eveyone and can see the list growing, as it was opening day. Price wise again for the cocktails were the most expensive I've seen in town, with the cheapest being £12 for an old fashioned or a prosecco with chambord and £15 for the rum or a gin cocktail. I think it's the natural wines, where they will do well though.
AD | We had a lush few days staying at @25chapelst AD | We had a lush few days staying at @25chapelst a lush cottage, which is nestled in the centre of Conwy. Just one street away from the main hight Street and a stones throw away from the seafront, it makes the perfect location for a visit to the North Wales coast. With a fast WiFi connection, I was able work from the cottage during the day, eat fish and chips by the sea for lunch, then grab an ice cream and go for some scenic stroles in the evening. The cottage has 3 double bedrooms, with a spacious attic bedroom, where you could even see the castle from the skylight. There was a small Central Courtyard, which could be used for some alfresco dinning and would be nice in the winter if there was a firepit to keep warm. With a few pubs within a minutes walk, cafes, restaurants and a chocolate shop, which sadly we didn't manage to catch. We'd visited Conwy once before for the annual good festival, but pass quite often on our regular trips to Anglesey, which is about an hour away and about the same to Chester to the west. You can book @25chapelst on airbnb, with prices varying on time and length of stay. We'd definitely look to book the next time we want to stay in and around Conwy.
This Lamb bagine from @lahmacuncardiff might just This Lamb bagine from @lahmacuncardiff might just be my new favourite dish at @riversiderealfood Thought we'd cycle over to sweat out last nights alcohol and saw the stall, which was a new one on me. They do sourdough Arabic flatbreads, with a choice of lamb, cheese and zataar or mushroom shwarma and all pirced at £5. I opted for some chipotle ketchup and garlic sauce on the side, 50p each, but definitely worth it for dunking. The lahmacun dough seemed spiced too, with a an orange tinge, the meat was soft, juicy and fragrant and loved the tang of pickles and fresh herbs on top. A nice squidge of lemon juice added another bit of freshness to the dish. They aren't that big, so you could (or I could at least) manage two, but I for £5 I think it's a good deal to be fair and they pack a lot of flavour into the dish. Deffo be coming back for more of these.
Great to see someone we popped in to see in London Great to see someone we popped in to see in London a few weeks ago @fromtheashesbbq , cooking up a storm at Saturday's @meatopiauk this year, so I can try a few more of their specials. Here's The Del Piero, a sugared brioche doughnut, Smoked pork shoulder, @duchycharcuterie nduja chilli jam, pork crackling up first. Fresh off the smoker, Smoked shoulder, pickles Smoked garlic and lemon mayo. Also a box of their epic slaw of hispi cabbage, green apple, fennel, sauerkraut, vinegar dressing, gorgonzola and walnuts. We sat down on the curb opposite, as it's takeaway only, but it wouldn't have lasted long if we'd walked somewhere to dig in. We'd already booked in for tea in a few hours, or I would have had a few other bits off the menu. What we did have however was delicious. Tender, smokey meat, freshly made buns and paired beautifully with accompanying sauces and pickles. I'm not thr biggets of salad fans, but the slaw was something else 😍 Can't wait to see From the ashes have up their sleeve for their dish of the day at Meatopia in a few weeks.

OK, I know my photos don't do it justice. Low ligh OK, I know my photos don't do it justice. Low lighting and a terrible camera phone, but we both loved our first visit to @koreandinnerparty in @carnabylondon food court. Not strictly Korean, but a nice fusion of stuff I love to eat. Loads of nibbles, bigger plates and some really good cocktails to wash them down with. We had: ☆ Corn dogs - cheesy coated hotdogs with ketchup and mustard ☆ Bacon mochi - Caramelised bacon wrapped rice cakes, gochujang caramel and spring onion ☆ Kimchi pancake - onion and kimchi pancake with oyster mayo (we even attempted these when we got home 👌) ☆ Beef tartare - bavette, crispy seaweed with giant rice Crackers ☆ Chikin - fried chicken nuggets, garlic cream, parmesan and rice sticks ☆ Slow cooked 48 hour short ribs - samjang, chilli relish, Asian slaw and homemade wheat wrappers ☆ White kimchi - Chinese cabbage pickle, wakame, carrots and apple dressing A little bit of me this meal. Perfect beer food, although I was sipping cocktails, which were equally as creative including the Yakult Royal with champagne, yogurt soju and yakult foam. Not that I didn't like anything, but stand outs for me were the bacon mochi and the beef rib. Some the best beef I've tasted and paired with the slaw and sauces stuffed in wraps, just yum 😍

I've been fancying a pair of retro looking Asics G I've been fancying a pair of retro looking Asics Gel Lyte iii for a while now, but just waiting for the right colourway and then I saw these in Ume, as part of the Kadomatsu collection. Kadomatsu decorations can be seen throughout Japan around the New Year. It is beleived that they help to bring happiness into the home on New Year's Day. The decorations consist of matsu (pine), take (bamboo) and ume (plum blossoms). Even though I've been eying up a pair for a while, I didn't realise they came with a split tongue i.e a slit down the front and no standard tongue. Takes some getting used to, but they slide on like a glove now. @asics
Did I mention we had brunch at @julietsqualityfood Did I mention we had brunch at @julietsqualityfood on the weekend? We swapped over brunch options from our visit to Milk the day before, with me going for the loaded breakfast bagel and @llioangharad having the seafood option. I say breakfast bagel, but this ain't no average bagel at Juliets. Crispy Hot Smoked Pork Neck Pastrami stuffed in Montreal Style Everything Bagel, Preserved Broad Bean Piccalilli & a Set Custard of Cackleberry Farm Eggs & Lincolnshire Poacher Cheese, Boom!! The seafood option here came I the form of a Spicy Shrimp Patty Bun, pickled onion, Shredded Bibb & Cumari Pepper 1000 Island. Both plates equally as delicious and something totally different to anything I've had anywhere. Quite liking a seafood option other than smoker salmon on menus too. I could get used to this. Llio said that's the quietest 30 seconds she's ever seen me, whilst I went to my happy place and absolutely smashed every last morsel. Super crispy pork pastrami, thick slab of the richest of eggy custard (soz about the lighting) and strong poacher cheese. Seeing as they import the spicy lamb Merquez sausages from Paris, I was never not going to order that on the side. Oh and that little plate or waffles 🧇 about that. Sourdough bread end waffle, roasted peaches, whipped lemon posset, toasted almond milk caramel (yu-um!!) and lavender. Well it was just as good if not better than it reads. Light, fluffy pancake, sweet peaches, creamy posset and crack like caramel I could lap up with a giant laddle. A 5 minute walk from Tooting Broadway underground. Make sure you take a trek over for a cocktail at Tooting market after your brunch at Juliets.
What can I say about @milkcoffeeldn I stumbled o What can I say about @milkcoffeeldn I stumbled on their Instagram in lockdown and seeing that we haven't been to London in 18 months, it was on the hitlist for places to brunch last weekend. Boy am I glad it made the cut too. OK so they had your staple brunches like avo on toast or eggs how you like them with hollandaise, but they also had a few other gems that caught my eye during lockdown. The burnt butter hollandaise on cackleberry eggs did look divine, but I was down for the fish sando today. Panko fried red snapper, shokupan milk bread, Fukujinzuki daikon, house made tonkatsu sauce, lettuce, Japanese mayo and togarashi. Right up my street that and deffo something I'd attempt in the house, if I could get my hands on some uber delish milk bread like that. So good crisped up and paired with yet more crunch from the fish and lettuce. I loved the housemate tonkatsu and well, I put Japanese mayo on everything at home. Miso mushrooms on the side too, of course. Bit different to how I do them I the house, sliced swimming in butter and miso. Here we've got whole shrooms with a drizzle of miso on top, which still works really well and doesn't require your arteries to be flushed out after. I was close to ordering the The Convict, but seeing how Llio went for it anyway, it thought I'd just steal a bite. Not that she was giving much away mind. This contained Gloucester Old Spot pork patty muffin, streaky bacon, scrambled eggs, hangover sauce and Linconshire poacher cheese. You may need to dislocate your jaw to get this one in whole. What's not to love. Great ingredients, smothered in cheese and sauce, in a muffin. Lovely jubbly. Flat whites all round and a wedge of the banana bread. Coming from someone who doesn't like banana, I did scoff half of it. The grilled banana bread came with whipped halva butter and toasted Pumpkin seed tahini. There was so much of the menu I would have loved to have tried and would quite happily get lodgings around the corner for the next weekend in London to finish off where we started. Milk is just a short walk from Balham underground station, which is on the Northern line, if you fancy visiting soon.
We didn't half eat and drink our way around London We didn't half eat and drink our way around London last weekend for @llioangharad birthday. It was the first time I've seen Brixton in the light of day too, having only visited after dark to see a few gigs at the O2 Academy (don't even know if it's called that, it's been that long). With the heavens opening once we got out thr underground station, we thought we'd check out @brixton.village , seeing as it was undercover. What a spot! We didn't want to leave to be fair. What an eclectic mix of stalls there. A multicultural mecca for the senses and taste. From Japanese, Chinese, BBQ, Latin American and a strong sense of Jamaica throughout the market. One food stall that stood out from the rest for me though, was @sarap_baon A filipino streetfood place, near one of the entrances. I can't say I'd ever tried anything Filipino and once I had a scout on their insta, I was instantly sold. I wasn't overly starving, like I usually am so we only went for 2 appetisers instead of the whole list. We opted for the dynamite lumpia, a deep fried spring roll with whole chilli stuffed with vegan cheese and mushrooms, along with a bbq pork skewer marinaded in soy, 7up, banana ketchup and calamansi. The spring roll, crisp without the cloying grease you sometimes get. Spicy, yet not blow your head off from the whole stuffed chilli. Not sure what the dip was that came with it, but it added a nice bit of moisture and fragrance to the dish. The bbq pork skewer was banging. Tender budgets, with blistered edges and sticky marinade. I could have eaten a plate full of these beauties. The soy vinegar added another level of umami and a salty kick. For mains I went for their signature dish, the Lechon. Slow roasted pork belly stuffed with lemongrass l, garlic, chilli and ginger, with the crispiest of crackling. Almost glass like. This came with rice and atchara, which was a pickled kohlrabi, carrot, green papaya, ginger and chilli. A side of spiced coconut vinegar and bbq sauce. Llio went for the fried chicken sinigang. Crispy chicken leg in tamarind and tomato seasoning and a sinigang chicken gravy. You'd never look at a KFC chicken and gravy the same again 😍
Made a kimchi pancake for supps. More like a Korea Made a kimchi pancake for supps. More like a Korean Okonomiyaki as I threw a few other bits in too. If you fancy making one, recipe below. Korean Pancake Recipe ☆ Shredded Hispi cabbage ☆ Diced sweet red pepper ☆ Sliced spring onion ☆ Chopped kimchi (I used @vadaszdeli ) ☆ Pancake batter (I used eggs, water, soy and kimchi brine, but no milk. You could also use dashi broth for extra flavour) ☆ Kewpie mayo ☆ Garlic butter for frying Instructions 1. Chopped everything up. 2. Mix up the batter. 3. Add the Chopped veggies to the bowl of Pancake mix and mix, so everything is coated. 4. Melt some garlic butter in the pan then add half the mixture to the pan and make sure the veggies are covered in batter, so they keep their shape. 5. Cook for around 5 mins, then loosen around the edges. Put a plate on top then flip. Slide the Pancake back into the pan, uncooked side down. 6. Cook for another few minutes, to cook through. 7. Loosen then slide cooked Pancake onto a plate. 8. Drizzle witb Kewpie may, then top with sliced green leaves of the spring onion, gochugarw flakes, sesame seeds and crispy garlic. . . . . #kimchi #kimchipancake #kimchirecipe #pancakes #foodiefeature #foodspiration #koreanfood #koreanrecipes #recipeoftheday #recipeideas
We decided to take a detour to Cardigan for food l We decided to take a detour to Cardigan for food last night, after a day of sunning ourselves in New Quay. We stopped at veggie/vegan friendly @tymor.cymru to try a few of their delicious sounding meat free alternatives. To pick on whilst our mains came were the zhoug and hummus fries. Right up my street these. Golden hand cut fries, mounds of hummus and lashings of the green, slightly spicy fragrant zhoug. Zhoug is a bit like a middle Eastern version of chimmichurri with coriander, lemon juice, chilli, cumin, cardamon and oil, plus any secret in house ingredient to set it apart. For mains we had: HARISSA BURGER Beetroot + Tofu Burger, Haloumi, Chimichurri Mayo, Seasonal Pickles, Harissa Ketchup + Welsh Leaves on a Sesame Bun. Loads going on with the burger and was proper stacked to be fair. Not being vegan I did like the addition of the halloumi, but they'd probably be able to make it without, for those strictly vegan diners. LULA KEBAB A secret recipe kofte kebab on baked lemon pilaf with tzatziki, harrissa sauce and seasonal pickles More or a meal in one with the kofte, rice and salad. Lovely homemade harissa and cooling tzatziki to contrast. The rice was a nice alternative to bread and pickles, well I love pickles on everything. Tymor is BYOB, which we didn't realise till we got there but they do some really good iced tea's and we also popped next door for a couple of takeaway margs, which we had with our food from El Salsa Mexican. Food was really good and full of flavour, which with being a meat eater I sometimes find vegan or vegetarian options just lacking in the flavour or seasoning department. Deffo not the case here and I'd deffo call in again if in Cardigan or the 20 mile trip we made to go, was definitely worth it, if you ask me.
Heard good things about this place and when they a Heard good things about this place and when they are queueing around the corner, that's usually a good sign @limecrab We went for a seafood plater and chips which included scampi, squid, mackerel goujons, prawns and fish bites, with some homemade tartar. A big portion of cod and chips and a dunking pot of curry. Real decent sized fish and the most perfect crispy batter. Chips were lush too, to be fair. First time I've been back to New Quay, since my grandfather took us for a week in a Caravan, when I was still in primary school. Lush little harbourside views with the fish and chips too.

(You can sub the Sicilian lemon drink for tonic if you like and swap out the lemon slice for orange) I had some @piperscrisps thyme and rosemary crisps, sat in the sun, wishing I was in Italy somewhere 🇮🇹 Ps. I always keep a bottle of vermouth in the fridge. If you don't fancy having a cocktail one night, you can still add a splash to your cooking in place of red wine, like in a spag bol. The extra herbs and spices add so much more depth of flavour, plus it keeps in the fridge for months when opened. Unlike a bottle of red that will spoil within a week. . . . . . #vermouth #martini #summer #sunshine #cocktails #italy #italia #aperitivo #sicily #drinksofinstagram #cheers #drinks #summerlovin #cheersmydears #cocktail #cocktailgram #summercocktails #summerdrinks #vermouthtime #vermouthlovers #cardiffblogger #cardiffblog #cocktailblogger
Any sake lovers about, or always fancied trying th Any sake lovers about, or always fancied trying the fermented rice nectar from Japan, but don't know where to start? @hyperjapanofficial Invited me to their first in many sake tasting (online) events last week, to find out more about the ancient tipple. Our session was hosted and featured @gekkeikansake who hail from Kyoto, But there's a whole host of other sake brewers in the lineup over the next couple of months. You can still get tickets to some of the events, where you pay for the package and they send out the bottles of sake in the post, ahead of the event. I even got some nibbles in mine, in the form of Japanese Crackers. I'm a proper geek when it comes to drinks and love finding out where they came from, how they're made, the difference between the styles and I learned quite a bit from the session. I've been partial to a sake or two since lockdown, I even bought the sake tasting cups in shot when I teamed up with @jss.sakegraphy back last year. You can find all things sake over at @japancentre Including pairing snacks and your favourite sake, after you've mastered the art of sipping the rice based wine. {AD} #hyperjapan #HYPERJAPANONLINE2021 #sakegraphy #gekkeikan #gekkeikansake #月桂冠 #japancentre #sake #sakelover #saketasting #japan #visitjapan #visitjapanjp #sakecup #saké #sakeblog #sakeblogger #lifestyleblogger #tasteofjapan #yearoftheox #kyoto #kyotojapan
