Cake Box definitely stands out from the crowd because of its bright decor.
When I first went, my first impressions were not that good because the fruit cakes reminded me of the bad quality ones in Hong Kong and all the cakes were heavily decorated and too colourful to the extent they looked artificial so I did not buy any.
Upon learning that the cakes were eggless with fresh cream made me go there again.
The funny thing was that I was distracted by the cakes and decor to notice they were eggless on the first visit.
Cake Box was founded by Sukh Chamdal and Pardip Dass in 2008 with its first shop in East London and now it is a successful franchise all over London!
When I went again, I finally noticed the word eggless in small print beside the name so this cake shop is actually called Eggfree Cake Box and not Cake Box!
It was hard deciding which cake slice to get but they either have a Victoria Sponge cake base or a chocolate cake base so I decided to try both.
For Three pounds, it is quite a big slice!!
Ended up getting the Black forest cake which has a chocolate sponge base and the Coconut cake which had a Victoria sponge base.
All the cake slices are conveniently held in a sleeve which makes them easy to handle and they come in a lovely box to take home.
To be honest, they were fantastic because the cake are fluffy and moist just like the ones that contain egg.
I was expecting the Black Forest to be my favourite but it was a tad too sweet however the Coconut Cake with the Victoria sponge base was the best because it was not too sweet and had a lighter taste infused with coconut.
As for the cream, it was not bad but it was slightly stiff and crumbly and miles better than the weird waxy creams in Hong Kong.

My new favourite is now the Red velvet which is just red velvet cake and cream.
Simple and lush.
The caramelicous was disappointing as it is described as a caramel base so I was expecting the cake to be caramel but it was just vanilla.
Prices have now gone up from 3 to 4 pounds per cake.
I love Batchelor's Super Noodles.
They come in quite a few flavours like chicken, curry, bacon etc and they have launched a low fat range which comes in a smaller packet.
As a Batchelor's super noodles fan, I realized that I have not tried the low fat range so I decided to try it.
The packaging is certainly nicer as it has a metallic blue at the top.
I wasn't sure what to expect but it was very different to the regular super noodles.
The flavouring was ok but the texture of the noodles were terrible.

The flavouring was super spicy so bare that in mind but the texture of the noodles were terrible.

My favourite flavours are basically bacon and beef.
As a Batchelor's super noodles fan, I realized that I have not tried the Chow mein flavour so I decided to try it.
I wasn't sure what to expect but chow mein from the Chinese Takeaway tastes like noodles tossed in soy sauce.
Anyway, Batchelor's chow mein tasted so different to what I had expected.
The seasoning was so strong and dark and you could taste five spice and aniseed, the stuff you get in Chinese roast duck.
Overall, I am glad I tried and I think this flavour is best paired which Chinese roast!
