You may have heard of TOAD bakery, an independent bakery that started in Camberwell, South East London, and is an award winning bakery. They have opened in a new location this week, Deptford, and here’s some of the goodies I got to try out:

🍫 Choco whirl £2.20
This is definitely a pastry I’ll get again. The thin layer of chocolate is crispy and tastes like good quality chocolate. It also has a good chocolate to pastry ratio. Definitely satisfies a chocolate craving.

🥐 Apricot and meringue custard danish £5
This was very tasty and very well balanced. The custard filling wasn’t overly sweet and the meringue was fluffy and creamy. I thought this was a very creative pastry and great quality.

🥐 Plum and marzipan sun bun £4.80
Topped with lots of almond flakes, a caramelised plum and a creamy marzipan filling, this was an interesting bun. I personally would have preferred more filling in this bun. Overall, it was nice but I’m not sure I’d get it again as I found it a bit too bread-y.

I will definitely be back to try out more pastries. There are so many more creative and interesting flavours i look forward to trying.

ALTA, a hidden gem Spanish restaurant in London 🇪🇸

⭐️ 5/5 particularly for the steak and cheesecake!

💷 c.£100 for the set menu (not including drinks and service)

🧑🏻‍🍳 service was impeccable - our server was attentive, knowledgeable and so friendly!

📍 ALTA, Kingly Court, London @alta.london

We had the set menu and it was such a good way to experience the whole kitchen.

Every dish was delicious but here are some of the stand out dishes for me:

🥩 the 35-day aged beef with smoked bone marrow. The beef had SO much flavour, the meat was tender and succulent with a buttery texture. This is hands down the best steak I’ve had in London and I would definitely come back just for this!

🧀🍰 ALTA’s Basque cheesecake is a must try. I’ve tried award winning Basque cheesecakes before but this one knocked them all out of the park. It has a creamy/custardy mousse-like centre and is perfectly sweet and very well paired with the rhubarb escabeche. Just look at the wobble 🥹 another dish I would come back for!

🐽 The house txistorra (sausages) was rich and satisfying. I liked the smokiness from the grill and the spice mix in the meat really came through. I paired mine with the house pickles, the sourness and crunch of the pickles helped cut through meatiness and it tasted great - you’re welcome to use this idea, ALTA 😉

🍯 Sobrasada Brioche, Goats Cheese, Honey. A soft brioche filled with a rich cured sausage and paprika. It’s topped with whipped goat’s cheese, honey, and toasted pine nuts - very delightful. This wasn’t part of the set menu but we were curious to try it.

Overall, the dishes were thoughtfully curated, packed with bold flavours, and a joy to journey through. If you’re looking for a tasty Spanish restaurant with some incredibly tasty dishes ALTA is a great choice.

✨ A full-on Thai dessert feast with friends! ✨

[Ad | Gifted]

We had a wonderful time tasting various hand made drinks and delicious Thai desserts.

We started with a classic Thai milk tea and creamy taro cha cha, then went bold with iced milk topped with Musang King durian.

We couldn’t resist doubling down with Musang King durian + sticky rice, followed by the iconic mango sticky rice. The durian was soft and creamy served over warm sticky rice and paired with sweet condense milk with a slight saltiness to it. The mango was perfectly sweet.

We finished strong with fluffy ice cream bread and a mountain of ABC shaved ice filled with treasures like grass jelly and red beans. 😍🍵🍧🥭

Thanks for having us @thaicuptea

🍦Bubblewrap London 🎉

[Ad | Gifted]

Bubblewrap London has just launched their new gelato pots!

⭐️ 6 new indulgent flavours
⭐️ 90-170 calories per serving!
⭐️ vegan options

I tried
* 🍰 Strawberry Cheesecake - Creamy, fruity, with a hint of salt
* 🍫 Ecuadorian Dark Chocolate Sorbet (Vegan) - Made with rich DOMORI cocoa
* 🥭 Alphonso Mango Sorbet (vegan)
- Tropical, juicy
* 🌰 Piedmont Hazelnut - Luxurious, nutty richness
* 🍵 Kyoto Matcha - Bold, earthy, and good matcha flavour.

What I like most about the gelatos are they’re not super sweet, they have good flavour and there are great vegan options too so there is something for everyone! The pots are are actually really big, so plenty to share! (Or not… I won’t tell 😉)

🇹🇭 Speedboat Bar 🦐

Had a delicious meal at @speedboatbar located on Rupert Street, London.

The crispy pork with prik nam som was a great starter dish - the skin was super crispy and the pork very succulent. The sweetcorn fritters were very crispy and came with a sweet dip.

Every dish had us going mmmm! But our top dishes had to be the Tom yam mama noodles which is packed with squid, prawns and pork balls. The giant tiger prawn curry was delicious and so comforting with steaming hot jasmine rice. Also highly recommend the aubergine dish.

Will definitely be coming back! ⭐️4.5/5
📍 Chinatown, London
💁🏻 we experienced great service - very friendly staff and we were given great food recommendations.

Bento Bab

Located near Aldgate East station is @bentobablondon serving some authentic and tasty Korean dishes.

What we ordered:
🔘 Seaweed rolls £7.60 - had really nice flavour and was crispy on the outside with chewy glass noodles in the centre
🔘Kimchi pancakes £8.20 - great flavour and crispy! Surprised the portion was on the smaller side.
🔘 Beef bibimbap £14.80 (+£2.50 for meat)- always a comforting dish with lots of veggies, well seasoned meat and the slight crispy burnt rice at the bottom of the stone bowl.
🔘 Korean friend chicken £18.70 (14 pc) we had two sauces: soy garlic and salt and pepper. Chicken was crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. Good flavour too.
🔘 pork kimbab £9.80 - I thought this was overpriced for kimbab and our table didn’t even finish this dish.
🔘 Makguksu £17 (serves 2 people) - a cold buckwheat noodle dish with veggies and boiled egg. It was really cool to see the waitress demonstrate how to mix it altogether with a chilli sauce. The dish is refreshing and great for summer. I particularly liked the chewiness of the noodles.

Overall, the food is well seasoned here and if I were to go back, I’d order the seaweed rolls, KFC, and bibimbap again. They have a large menu so I’d be interested in trying more dishes.

⭐️ 3.5 for taste and value
👩‍💼 staff were effient and friendly
📍 Aldgate East station is the closest

✨ Spice, soul, and serious flavour ✨

Had a tasty dinner at The Begging Bowl @beggingbowl , every bite was so flavourful. If you like Thai food, this place needs to go on your list! 🇹🇭🔥

The dishes are perfect for sharing… if you’re feeling generous 😉 what we ordered:

🦐 crispy noodles with king prawns and brown crab
🍅 heritage tomatoes and apricot salad - refreshing with some tanginess in the dressing balanced with the sweet apricot.
🥘 charcoal grilled kolae peanut curry of celeriac - this was packed with spice and has a bold flavour
🥬 chive cakes - these were amazing, so fragrant and soft, perfectly paired with a sweet chilli soy dip
🐟 deep fried seabass with sour mango and tamarind chilli dressing - this was so full of flavour. The fish skin was crispy and the meat was melt in your mouth soft

☕️ I tried the Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk - I wouldn’t recommend ordering this. I could hardly taste the condensed milk and the drink overall was bland.

⭐️ 4.5/5 would definitely recommend the food here and will be coming back to try more dishes!

📍The Begging Bowl, Peckham

🍝 Pasta making class🍝

We got hands-on with making fresh pasta at a Pasta Evangelists masterclass at the Greenwich branch and it was so fun! I’ll never look at store-bought pasta the same way again, who knew fresh pasta was so easy to make! The class is suitable for beginners and we have already made some fresh pasta at home by ourselves a week after this class - which just goes to show how successful the class was🍝

My favourite part of the class (asides from being able to eat our creations) was learning to make different pasta shapes. The bow pasta was surprisingly easy!

There was unlimited Prosecco and a starter was included. All equipment was included and we had a really lovely time 🍷✨

Would highly recommend this class!

🍝 Pasta Evangelist, Greenwich Branch
💷 £68 per person
⏱️ About 2 hrs for the class
