2020 Easter supermarket finds - Easter Eggs, Crumpets, Hot Cross buns and Tea

Easter is celebrated in commemoration of Jesus being resurrected.

Easter eggs are said to represent Jesus' emergence from the tomb and resurrection hence all these chocolate Easter Eggs.

In the 1900s, there were chocolate chickens, chocolate fish etc according to the dailymail.

In my childhood days, it was just chocolate eggs by the regular brands like Cadbury's etc.

Since 2018, Easter eggs of all shapes and sizes began to appear like Unicorn shaped chocolate, avocado chocolate etc.

Here is a sample of what I found in 2020.
It was a mix of traditional and eye catching chocolate, but the there was a LATE COMER, Marks and Spencers came out with savoury Cheese eggs in two sizes!

Hot Cross buns are getting fancy this year.

I like the idea of Chocolate and Cherry from Waitrose, as well as tea infused fruits.

Marks and Spencers has chili and cheese which I would expect it to good if it tastes 100% savoury!

Hot Cross Bun flavoured tea by Sainsbury!

Last but not least crumpets which come in all shapes for every occasion.
Christmas tree shaped crumpets for Christmas, heart shaped crumpets for Valentines and Bunny shaped for Easter.

[Restaurant Review] Breakfast at Surrey Cafe

Went to Surrey Cafe twice because I really enjoyed the food.
I am always trying different places for English Breakfast to see how they are.

As well as Breakfast, they have burgers, Pukka Pies and other homemade dishes.
The staff here are wonderful and friendly.

On the first visit, just had a sausage and egg.
When it came, it was egg and bacon, although it was not what I ordered, the bacon was trimmed and looked good.

But anyway, the sausage and egg I had was perfect so came back again for more because I found out that they use my favourite St Nicholas Baked Beans which are more savoury in taste.

A few days later, I was back for the breakfast.
As you can imagine, it was very hard to make up my mind so had the Set 1 Breakfasts which includes beans, sausage, egg, bacon and 2 slices of toast with tea.

The buttered toast was so good because it was buttered with real butter and having two slices was very satisfying. In a way I regretted not getting the bigger breakfast which comes with bubble.

Anyway, top marks for it all.

Singer Sewing shop in Croydon

This has nothing to do with food but felt like posting this because Singer is an old sewing brand that used to be in every British home.

Anyway, I like this shop because of the huge button door handle and it just looks old.

[Review] Yo Sushi at Purley Tesco Extra

Tried the vegetarian green and beets and loved it.
The sushi guy at the counter was as cute as Keanu Reeves!!!
