M&S Marks Spencer plant kitchen No Chicken Nuggets

Again, M&S have used the successful [mock chicken] pea protein as used in their other plant kitchen series.

I knew the no chicken nuggets was going to be good without even trying it because it uses the same pea protein as the no chicken tikka and sweet and sour no chicken.

The nuggets were tender chunks of pea protein coated in a crispy farmhouse crumb.

Although, I knew it was not chicken I still smelled it and it strangely it did have a chicken nugget smell to it but perhaps it was the coating.

Anyway, the texture was really convincing but it needed a strong sauce just like regular chicken nuggets so I used the M&S Yakisoba sauce which were a match made in heaven.











Gnarly plant based burgers at Gnarbecue

Just left of East Croydon station, you will find this bright stall serving plant based sarnies, burgers and a whole lot more.

When you walk past, you'd be fooled in thinking they were full on meat burgers!






Sainsburys Shredded Peking Duck with hoisin sauce and pancakes

I love Peking duck with pancakes so decided to try Sainsburys take on so that I could compare it to the takeaways and the M&S version.
With the Sainsburys one, you get shredded duck meat which is what the label says.
Basically, the taste relied on the sauce as it was plain shredded duck meat.
Overall, I did not like it because the sauce being the star of the show was just too sweet.
I ended up using a different sauce as I didn't like the given sauce.

Mary Berry Indulgent Chocolate Cake

Most celebrity and branded items can disappoint but Mary Berry's chocolate cake lives up to her name.
The Mary Berry Indulgent Chocolate Cake is layered with a rich chocolate ganache buttercream and hand decorated with Belgian chocolate curls.
The chocolate cake was spot on in terms of texture and taste without being too heavy.
As for the chocolate frosting, it was smooth and velvety which beats those nasty sugary waxy frostings and chocolate cakes that taste too sweet yet lack chocolate taste.
You can definitely taste the goodness with quality ingredients.
I also paired it with some whipped chocolate squirty cream from M&S and it was chocgasmic! 
The other Raspberry Ripple cake by MB is also flawless.

Airsoft shooting in London at Alpha Guns London

Lockdown is over so time to go airsoft shooting again.

At Alpha guns, it is an indoor Airsoft shooting range, whether you are a complete beginner or just want to try something different. Their extensive and constantly changing selection of Rifles, SMGs and Pistols means you will always see something new to try!
They have various packages which includes rifles and guns but as a gun girl I requested for gun only and they were happy to accommodate.
I enjoyed the electronic targets which can be adjusted according to how well you shoot.
Overall, I had an amazing experience so will definitely go again.
