[Review] KitKat Chunky Peanut Butter
Recently tried the KitKat Chunky Peanut Butter which was not my cup of tea but then I am not a fan of peanut butter.

[Review] Lindt Lindor Milk Mint Truffles 200g
Lindt Lindor Truffles are popular because they are silky and smooth.
They come in a variety of flavours and the ones I like are hazelnut, coconut and pistachio.
Recently tried the Mint Truffles and they were really addictive especially if you like anything that is mint chocolate.

[Review] Aldi Holly Lane Authentic German Apple Stollen
The Stollen has never appealed for me because they look like a dense block of cake covered in white icing so I though they were sweet and hard.
To my surprise, the Aldi Holly Lane Authentic German Apple Stollen turned out addictive and goes well with a cup of tea.
The texture was not dense or dry as I thought but soft and crumbly when I ran a knife through it.
It was loaded with juicy raisins and dried apples with a lovely almond Marzipan aftertaste.
I was definitely glad my first Stollen was an Apple one because the apple gives it the extra fruity kick to it.
The icing that looks overwhelming blends in nicely like snow.

[Review] Turkey Curry at Leon Restaurant
Originally I was planning to eat at Padella next door but it turned out to be an hours wait so had Leon instead as they were doing a Turkey Curry over the boxing day period.
According to the ad, it was British turkey, carrots and parsnips in a creamy curry sauce, topped with a sprinkling of crispy onions.
The food was served in a flash but then Leon is classified as a fast food chain with healthy food in mind.
The curry sauce looked a bit dry and dehydrated and to my disappointment I was given the cold turkey but they were happy to change it for a hot one without quibble.
The piping hot Turkey curry was absolutely delicious with a taste similar to Coronation chicken but much better as it had starchy parsnips and soft carrot chunks.
Overall, I was so glad I tried the Turkey Curry because the creamy curry paired with Italian brown rice which has a lovely al dente texture.

[Review] Breakfast at Debenhams Cafe, Eastbourne
Debenhams Cafe has been in Eastbourne since I don't know when but sadly quite a few stores are closing down nationwide including Eastbourne.
At Debenhams Cafe they serve breakfast, lunch in a traditional British Cafeteria style where you order what you see.
Photo taken the previous day with bubble on the left.
As they are closing down, I went one last time for breakfast.
Previously dined here in my younger years but sadly I didn't take photos.
I was late so many items had run out including the bubble which was served the previous day so I settled for 4 items with an extra black pudding.
Overall, it was your usual breakfast fare with a lovely view of town through those wooden pane windows.
The blurred edges of the vintage glass transom windows added to the ambiance which you won't find in modern eateries.

[Review] Vegan Steak Bake at Coughlans Bakery
Approaching the end of the year to January, many restaurants and shops will be launching vegan foods for #veganuary .
I like the way Coughlans has the vegan steak bake way before Greggs which I will try later.
As well as the Vegan Steak Bake, they also have the Vegan three cheese and onion pasty which I didn't get the chance the try as I was not in the area.
The Vegan Steak Bake at Coughlans has sesame on it to distinguish it from the the steak bake.
The price of this vegan steak bake is £2.95 which is slightly more than Greggs at £1.55 according to online media photos.
Anyway, when you bite into the vegan steak bake, the pastry is just as good as any pastry in the sense that it is crisp and flaky.
It took me a while to get to the centre of the bake but I was greeted with a lovely gravy loaded with mushrooms and vegan steak.
The vegan steak pieces was tasty and the texture was like firm bouncy tofu that is just the right bite without being too rubbery so overall I really enjoyed this vegan steak bake.
Sadly, Coughlans was closed on Sunday so I didn't try the vegan cheese and onion as well as the Vegan sausage and leek.
They also have other captivating treats like Butterscotch yum yum and the iced apple lattice.
Will definitely give them a try when I am next in town!
