[Review] Perfect Fried Chicken Strafford
I love chicken from Perfect Fried Chicken.
The Stratford branch is small compared to other branches but the chicken is always good and the staff are polite and super friendly.

Quaker Go Porridge pop up at Tesco
During the weekend, Quaker had a booth in Tesco to promote their porridge.
You get to choose two toppings with your porridge so I chose strawberries and syrup to balance the strawberries in case they were sour.
For convenience, I always have some plain Quaker oats at home when I'm hungry but the flavoured ones are also convenient.

[Review] Morrisons Bacon Noodles
In UK, the most popular instant noodle brand would probably be Batchelors super noodles which comes in Bacon, Beef etc.
Most supermarkets have their version of instant noodles where the flavours you get are normally curry or chicken.
I was surprised that Morrisons had Bacon and Beef so got them both to try.
Tried the Bacon noodles first.
When I opened the flavouring sachet, it had the usual smoky bacon smell.
After cooking the noodles and tossing it in the flavoring, I found the taste was more sweet compared to Batchelors and it wasn't that salty.
Overall, you had the smell of bacon but I found it bland.
[Review] M & S Food Chili and Cheese Hot Cross Buns 2020
Hot Cross Buns are getting fancier each year.
Back in 2015, M & S Food had toffee and fudge, 4 berries and cherries.
This year, there is a savory hot cross bun at M & S Food along with chocolate flamingoes and chocolate sloth Easter Eggs!!
I was definitely up for trying the Chili and Cheese Hot Cross Buns so finally found a M & S Food that had it.
When I took it out the packet, it felt sticky so I was worried the bun was going to be sweet.
Thankfully it was deliciously savoury with quite a fiery kick that over powered the cheese.
Overall, I was not shocked by the flavours because it was just like eating savoury bread but in the form of a soft sticky hot cross bun.
Off the topic, I was also captivated by the Rhubarb hot cross buns at Aldi!!

[Review] hans grill pizza stone
Somehow pizzas at home never taste the same as restaurants which led me to think to observe how they makes pizzas at restaurants.
As well as pizzas, delicious naans also have some magic to them in the sense that there is something that can distribute heat well so that the dough is uniformly crisp and soft in the middle.
This is where the pizza stone is needed, hans grill specializes in pizza stones where it helps distributes heat evenly.
Instructions are simple, you just put the stone in the oven, turn on the oven to heat the pizza stone, then slide your pizza on to it.
The time depends on how thick your pizza is and how you like your pizza.
Pizza stones comes in different shapes, they can be round or rectangular.
Personally I like the rectangular pizza stones because it allows you to make round or rectangular pizzas or put other items on the side whilst your baking the pizza.
As the instruction says, you pre heat the stone by putting it on the lower rack, turning on the oven for 30-40 minutes.
Then you turn down the heat once the stone has got hot and then slide your pizza on to the stone.
The pizza shovel was easy to use, I dusted the wooden shovel with flour to ensure that the pizza could slide about before adding ingredients and whilst I was adding ingredients I kept sliding the pizza so that it would slide off perfectly when it was time to slide it on to the pizza stone.
The pizza I made had diced purple onions, diced yellow peppers, feta, olives and anchovies.
Since it was my first time making the pizza dough, the pizza base was quite thick like a deep pan but the base was uniformly crisp.
With the experience for the first pizza, the second one was made thinner.
Overall, definitely easy to use and I loved my uniform pizza base but the only difficulty I had was transferring the pizza to the stone because if you're clumsy you end up getting some ingredients on the stone.
I am not sure if this method would work but I am thinking of covering the pizza stone with aluminum foil or baking paper to help protect the stone from getting ingredients all over it to prolong the pizza stone life.
Currently, hans grill pizza stones are available on amazon with free delivery if you live in the UK.

[Review] M & S Food Bramley Apple Victoria Sponge
To be honest, I was going to M & S Food intending to get a Victoria sponge but in front of me there were two to choose from.
The regular Victoria Sponge and the Bramley Apple Victoria sponge.
Instantly, I knew the Bramley apple version one was going to be damn good because I expected the filling to be the same as the filling for their Fresh cream Bramley apple turnovers which are sensationally good.
For me, I prefer eating cakes and sponges as to puff pastry so the Bramley apple Victoria sponge was the perfect combo.
As expected the Bramley Apple Victoria sponge was delicious especially the freshly whipped cream and apple compote which was chunks of crisp sweetened apples.
It is hard to see the apple compote but it definitely is in there as well as the lovely layer of freshly whipped cream which tasted very buttery yet light as well as the fluffy buttery sponge that was not too overwhelmingly buttery.
