Inner Piece Adult Lego experience

Inner Piece Adult Lego experience.

There were two experiences one could choose.

The first was Meditative Flower Making workshop to build beautiful flowers and plants. 

Once finished you can plant it in the garden at the entrance.

The second option is the 50 minutes Happy Prints workshop by Laurie Avon first creating a design on the baseplate before printing it using ink. 

I had a go at the flower making workshop which was fun but stressful as I did not find the calming music calming, it was more like Twinpeaks.

I think I was probably better off doing the Happy Prints workshop which was more artistic in one dimension.

Overall worth visiting if you are in the area.

Location and dates:

7th - 13th October at 37 Eastcastle Street, London, W1W 8DR. 

£3.50 for a Jamaican Lobster Patty

There is an abundance of Jamaican patties in London but one should make trip to Bakers Dozen Caribbean Roots because they have all the patties under the sun from Lobster, Fish, Prawn, Vegetarians options to Oxtail!!
Located in a residential area, it is off the radar from the city but expect queues and a wait before you get served.

Luckily, they are well stocked so you won't be disappointed.

As well as patties they have fried chicken, noodles, prawn dishes, mac and cheese so your complete Caribbean fix is right in front of you!!

I got there around 16:23 and the tiny shop was filled with people and when I left around 16:40 there was a long queue outside!!

Since it was a one off visit I got the lobster, prawn, fish, jerk chicken and oxtail patty!

The star of the show is definitely the lobster and this is probably the only place you can get it in London and for £3.50 it would be a sin not to try.

For that price, I don't expect chunks of lobsters but I found some crustacean pieces which could be red prawn or lobster but I give it the benefit of doubt that it is lobster.

Overall, I found the lobster, prawn and fish very similar because the filling was mixed with pumpkin and it was very spicy and salty.

The oxtail patty is also worth trying because this is the only way it is boneless and it was minced very finely, again I give it the benefit of doubt that it is oxtail.

To summarize, I am glad I tried this place.

The Department of Taste at FENWICK

I love gems and food so these edible emeralds had my name printed on them!

This is probably my first purchase at Fenwick where I had to make a special trip to one of the branches because the one in central London is gone.

This curious collection of confections contains four mystery flavours which are revealed when at the cabinet where you choose one and try in the sensory room of green lights and lasers!

You place the jewel on the light, experience the smoke and indulge on the edible emerald when ready.

There are four flavours: 

Rhubarb, Pear & Blueberry

Earl Grey & Sorrento Orange

Strawberry & Champagne

Juniper & Lychee

To be honest, they are all nice in different aspects so I bought the box which contains all four.

Although they don't have the sugar coating, they reminded me of fruit jellies and York Fruits.

The Department of Taste locations and dates:

Fenwick Kingston 8 - 20 October, 12pm - close

Fenwick Tunbridge Wells 11 - 16 October, 12pm - close

Fenwick Bracknell 18 - 27 October, 12pm - close

Ginsters smoky beef chilli pasty

Well filled and tasty.
Cute packaging and barcode.

Sainsburys taste the difference pumpkin spiced latte pots

You can think of them like an autumn pumpkin trifle with layers of pumpkin sauce, gingerbread sponge and fluffy mascarpone cream.
Sweet, spicy and bitter.

Batchelors Pickled onion crisp Flavour Super Noodles

Move over Monster Munch pickled onion mayo, its time for pickled onion noodles!

I love pickles and sauerkraut so had to get my hands on the new batchelors pickled onion noodles which were found in b&m stores.

They also have chilli lime which I tried last week but I found them too spicy. 

They certainly had that pickled onion smell when you peel the lid back and it also has a few pieces of sweetcorn.

As for the taste, it was a little strange at first because it tasted like chemical sourness so it was a bit artificial in taste but you get used to it.

These are not the first tangy noodles I've had because the Poles have a lovely sauerkraut instant noodle while the Thai's have tom yum etc.

Ginsters limited edition bbq pulled pork slice

Ginsters limited edition bbq pulled pork slice bought from Sainsburys today.
Didn't check expiry so didn't realize the use by date was yesterday.
Anyway it was sweet and artificially smoky.
