[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers West Country Luxury Fudge Yogurt

The Marks and Spencers West Country Luxury Yoghurt series are fabulous.

There are so many flavours like Strawberries and cream, lemon curd but the three that I liked so far  were Rhubarb Custard, Apple Crumble and Peach Melba.

This time I tried the Marks and Spencers West Country Luxury Fudge Yoghurt.
The yoghurt was a caramel colour and the taste was so comforting because it was very sweet and creamy with a yoghurt after taste.
Just like the other yoghurts in the West Country Luxury range, I was expecting some fudge pieces but there wasn't.

Donburi & Co opens in Croydon

Donburi & Co has just opened in Croydon.

It is their fourth branch following Brixton, Earlsfield and Spitalfield.

They were giving out Hirata buns so I went and grabbed one.

You could choose from chicken, beef, spicy pork or fried kimchi so I had the chicken.
The giveaway was impressive because you could choose which bun you wanted and the staff were organized so the queue moved fast.
My chicken was ready in a flash.
The bun was soft and delicious filled with chicken in a creamy sauce which had a nice sweetness.
The only improvement would be bun wrappers because it stuck to the bun and perhap a different colour would contrast the buns better.
Overall a lovely treat for the afternoon.

On the regular menu, they serve hirata buns, gyozas, Korean Fried chicken, bibimbaps and donburis.
They offer dine ins where you can charge your phone as well as sockets.
To summarize, a great joint to check out if you fancy some Korean food.

Chimmichurri sauce compilation

I fell in love with chimmichurri the first time I had it when I tried it at the restaurant, since then I order it at the restaurant if they serve it.
Chimmichurri is available in red or green. The green version is chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano and red wine vinegar.
There are so many applications for this sauce like salmon and burgers which I tried.

The Chimmichurri sauce which is currently under development by Cheeky Boy Sauces has a lovely Mediterranean savoury and chili kick to it just as I imagined.
You can think of it as the modern bbq mint sauce for barbecued meats or a Mexican Zaatar!

My favourite was definitely the grilled cheese because I love the pairing of cheese and chimmichurri.
You will also find Grilled chimmichurri avocado cheese toasts online so chimmichurri pizza would  probably taste good.
Just imagine Lasagne with chimmichurri, gnocchi with chimmichurri etc.

Here are my chimmichurri dishes:
