NIGERIAN GOURMET DESSERT🇳🇬🍯 yum puff puff

NIGERIAN GOURMET DESSERT🇳🇬🍯 yum puff puff by @yumpufftreats

This weekend we were kindly #gifted an assorted box of Nigerian “puff puff” similar to mini doughnuts.

There were 5 flavours in the box all of which are vegan🌱, the caramel sauce however is not (vegan replacement available). We rank them in the following order:

🥇Cinnamon Sugar 🍯
🥈Rum 🥃
🥉Chocolate Orange 🍫🍊
🏅Coconut & Lime 🥥
🏅Plantain & Chilli 🌶

Our top two ranking puff puff were quite similar as they are dusted in the same sugary coating & we drizzled them in caramel sauce and the light & fluffy inner was so moorish.

The chocolate orange was also really good drizzled in chocolate sauce however not that “orangey” but equally good. The coconut & lime had a fresh and fragrant taste with hints of citrus😋 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣Personally we didn’t get on with the plantain & chilli as we aren’t fans of the sweet/chilli combination generally but each to their own! The scotch bonnet jam was really good though.

CARIBBEAN STREET FOOD ❤️💛💚 food cooked w

CARIBBEAN STREET FOOD ❤️💛💚 food cooked with love from the heart @onelovekitchenuk

We popped down to @onelovekitchenuk during lockdown for some proper Jamaican food and they did not disappoint.

We went for 3 mains and 4 sides (enough for leftovers😜). To start, the jerk chicken both in the main and side of wings was SO soft and succulent - fall off the bone, delicious. And packed full of flavour.

The jerk chicken wrap was also so soft! I’m not sure how they get it so tender!? The wrap also comes with salad and a herby sauce which is so great in combination😍

Back to the mains, the curry goat was also great and authentic street food including bones which is part of the experience. The rice and peas were also light and fluffy.

Finally onto the sides, the Mac & cheese was PROPER cheesy with real cheese (must try), the plantains were perfectly ripe and not oily. Finally, the steamed cabbage was great and a personal favourite side of ours with Caribbean dishes.

Although seating is closed during Lockdown they are active on @ubereats_uk and also collection orders, I’ve been back already since this review🤦‍♂️

@onelovekitchenuk food is all really fresh and you can taste the time and love which is poured into their dishes and give you that authentic street food taste of Jamaica.

FLAKY JAMAICAN PATTIES🇯🇲 a taste of the Caribbean delivered to your door from newly founded @pattyboxco

We received two @pattyboxco boxes (Signature & Miniature) boxes of freshly made flaky patties last weekend. The signature are in the regular size and miniature in a smaller size perfect for snacking / party bites.

The quality & authenticity of these patties are up there, not just the flaky soft pastry but also the fillings! These took us on a trip to Jamaica😫

Personally we enjoyed the spicy lamb and curried chicken the most, the curried vegetable was also really good but the saltfish was a bit too fishy for us (personally).

One of our favourite things about @pattyboxco is the service. You’re kept up to date via text with the delivery arrival time on the day as well as when they’ve arrived. Very professional.

@pattyboxco boxes are fully customisable so if you prefer just one type of filling or want to try them all out it’s completely up to you. They also come with a menu to help you identify the filling (number of dots) as well as re-heating instructions.

@pattyboxco cater to dietary requirements on demand for vegans & those with other allergens. They also cater for events.

Order cut off for Saturday delivery is on Thursday at midnight so get your orders in ASAP using the link in their bio😋

BRKFST IN BED? 🥐🌱 breakfast box delivery courtesy of Kenyan & St Lucian duo @brkfstboxldn

Lockdown.. dark mornings.. what better time to have breakfast delivered to your doorstep? @brkfstboxldn deliver a customisable choice of baked treats, fruits, and various toppings/condiments to choose from!

The fully plant-based menu ALL sounded so good we couldn’t narrow our choices down so we left it to them to surprise us!

To start, pancakes were so good! We had them with a hazelnut & chocolate spread and some just plain they were that good. The yoghurt with granola & pomegranate was a banging combo!

The fresh fruits were also really good, the blueberries plump & sweet. Strawberries dipped in the chocolate & the raspberry + white chocolate drops combo worked really well.

The box is packed and definitely enough for 2 people, we saved the baked items for in the afternoon with the mint tea that came with the box, delicious.

@brkfstboxldn is a fully customisable box with SO many (maybe even too many options😂) and all vegan! It definitely makes a nice treat on the weekend or an amazing gift to surprise a friend with.

Currently the service area is Islington, Hackney, Camden, Shoreditch & surrounding areas with weekend delivery where you are provided a timed (1hr) delivery slot.

HOT N JUICYYYY🍤💦 seafood mania courtesy of seafood gods @hotnjuicyshrimpldn

WOW! I don’t think I’ve had shellfish this good in the UK before. Say goodbye to rubbery/chewy seafood & hello to juicy and succulent @hotnjuicyshrimpldn

We had the medium heat seafood boil which had a nice kick but won’t kill you, a nice balance. They offer it as spicy you can handle🌶

The king prawns were SO big & SO tender, melt in the mouth, butter like, something I haven’t experienced with seafood in the UK, shout out to their global suppliers!

The snow crab was also so soft and combines great with the red potato, egg and all of the sauces. The boil also included sausage, lobster & corn. Combined with the chunky side sauce = ECSTASY.

The chocolate cake & custard dessert also brought us back to school days and was a nice way to finish the meal off once the seafood had digested.

All in all this was my best seafood boil experience to date and their seafood was so fresh & that sauce REALLY banged. If you like seafood you HAVE to try this. 🌱 Veggie boil also available.

@hotnjuicyshrimpldn are based in Bethnal Green and operate on weekends only through pre-order collections so make sure you get your order in before the cut off!

IRAQI 🤝 JAMAICAN🇮🇶🇯🇲 community focused & family run cafe @babajaniportobello

Ghino & Kris’s @babajaniportobello is inspired from the ancient region of Mesopotamia, known as modern day Iraq with a hint of Jamaica also featuring on the menu.

We started with the baba ganoush (aubergine) & warm flatbread to dip, it was super creamy with hints of spice which it was decorated with😋 We also had a seasonal pumpkin soup with ginger and chilli which tasted so homely & warmed us up on the cold day.

Now onto the salad: an explosion of flavours! from the homemade hummus, pomegranate chicken, flatbread, falafel, stuffed dolma, olives & salad with dressings it was all SO good & fresh! The bowl gives you a real variety of flavours & textures all in one dish🤤

We also had a latte with date syrup which was a first! & we would definitely get it again😍

@babajaniportobello is at the heart of the community and has strong values in what they do & how they do it - a true local small business🙌 Their menu is halal & has tons of vegan/vegetarian options also so there’s something for everyone!

@babajaniportobello will also be operating a daily menu throughout lockdown which you can find on their page. Follow them to keep up to date.

Thanks for having us @babajaniportobello ! We can’t wait to return and try your amazing breakfast dishes!

VEGAN SOUL FOOD🌱☀️ a plant-based experience

VEGAN SOUL FOOD🌱☀️ a plant-based experience of @sunkissedplates at @portobellovegannightmkt

Last night was our first visit to @portobellovegannightmkt and it had a good variety of vendors & good vibes despite the restrictions!

We went for the @sunkissedplates rice box which includes: Mac N Cheeze, Lentils, Rice N Peas, Plantain, Jerk Jackfruit & Slaw.

Initially I was skeptical of the jerk jackfruit as this isn’t something I’ve tried, the jerk came fresh off the grill & the texture is similar to chicken in terms of the strands and the crispy parts of jackfruit give you that real bbq’d taste. I’m converted.

The Mac n Cheeze was also super creamy, WITHOUT the artificial cheese taste and mixing it with the rest of the plate gave a nice variety of flavours & textures. The lentils and rice kept us warm & full as the evening went on and gave you that proper soul food feel without the bloat/sleepiness you get with meat sometimes.

The line for @sunkissedplates was super long (and now we know why) so make sure you get there early, it’s definitely worth the wait.

I think the biggest compliment to vegan food as a meat eater is when you don’t feel like you’ve missed out on anything & almost get caught off guard with how good it tastes and that’s the feeling you get with @sunkissedplates

We also had a few cups of their Sorrel which was deep and rich😋 not the diluted rubbish you find in supermarkets🤧

@sunkissedplates do catering, events & markets so keep an eye on their page for where you can catch them next!
