[Review] Beigel Bake at Brick Lane

As well as curries, the salt beef bagel is a famous treat at Brick Lane.
There are two competing with each other and right next to each other.
I go to both all the time but have not really posted about them.
This time I went to Beigel Bake for a salt beef bagel and the lady was really nice to slice it for us.
The salt beef bagel was consistently good as before with meaty beef in the middle balanced by the mustard.
It is best to go when a fresh batch of beef comes out and when it does the beef texture is like Alaskan crab legs with a springy yet soft texture.

The taste and smell was strangely fishy but I wonder if it is because they sell smoked salmon as well but there is a strong mustard kick and they do not butter their beigels like the other shop.

It also depends how they slice the beef ie against the muscle or along the muscle.

Adding some lemon juice to it makes it moreish.
It is hard to say which one is better I always go to both every now and then.

Second visit in Sept 2021

Sweet American dream from Hollywood Candy

A big THANK YOU to Hollywood Candy in Stoke Newington for sending me a sweet American dream!

There are a few American candy stores around but what makes Hollywood Candy so special is that they used to be a newsagent but they had a BIG dream of being an All-American candy and drink retail store so they fulfilled this amazing goal.

I have not personally been to the store yet due to lockdown but from google, they really stand out on the street with the red white and blue from the American flag with stars and the statue of liberty.

Currently you can find them on Uber eats or pop down to the store if you are nearby.

They offer as much as 1000 varieties of products ranging from Sour Patch to Jolly Ranchers, Nerds, Lucky Charms, NW Root Beers to Monsters, Cheetos to M&Ms, Hershey’s, Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, Reese’s and a lot more!

Basically who can resist candies so check them out.
More reviews to follow on the individual candies!!

But just a quick glance, I am already blown away with with the variety like Fizz Whizz, Hershey's Gold. and Mike and Ike Mega Mix.
