The Best Cookies You Can Get Delivered Nationwide - London
"Ice cream that’s sold on the streets of Manila is nicknamed ‘dirty ice cream’. Known for being super affordable yet still delicious, it’s made using little more than ice, salt, a steel pot and a pair of strong hands. Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream is the first filipino ice cream parlour in London and they try to recapture the authenticity, and of course, simplicity of Manila ice cream."
"Try something totally unique at "dirty ice cream" specialist Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream, which brings Filipino flavours and techniques to Chinatown. Don't be fooled by its name, the hygiene is top-notch at this parlour, which churns out flavours such as purple ube, milo, black buko and vegan specials guyabano and calamansi."
"Omar Shah and Florence Mae Magnaloc’s Mamasons is packaging up its range of Filipino-influenced ice creams for delivery and is open for takeaways, with ube, milo, and calamansi among the flavours. Expect bilog, the pandesal ice cream sandwich, to go quickly, with the Chinatown branch open from 12 p.m."
"It’s tricky to resist Bubblewrap – not just the plastic kind and its addictive popping potential, but also the Chinatown dessert sensation and its waffle-wrapped desserts. The West End dessert shop sells waffles made in a bubble-indented iron, inspired by the egg waffles of Hong Kong. The curiously textured dough is then shaped into a cone and stuffed with ice cream, nuts, fresh fruits, oreos and sauces, among many other rotating toppings."
"You may have seen some of these massive cones floating around on Instagram, and it’s definitely one of the best desserts in London. The egg waffles made at Bubblewrap are filled with incredible gelato, and you can pack as many toppings onto your monstrous creation as you wish. Located in Chinatown, it’s one of those crazy desserts in London that you need to try once!"
"Restaurants Street food Chinatown. This Soho take on the Hong Kong phenomenon had fans queuing around the block when it opened. But what exactly is a bubblewrap?"
"How did a chicken restaurant become one of the most beloved chains in Britain?. Nando’s offers so much more than its delicious flame-roasted chicken – they have dozens of vegetarian and vegan options, as well as healthy sides and salads. It’s no wonder that Nando’s is amongst the most popular family restaurants in Wembley Park."
"Visited the side today around 8pm. Had to wait at the doors for a good 5 minutes without anyone c..."by Angelika on 08/07/2021"
"The Desert Factory is so serious about desserts, they've travelled far and wide to bring you the very best flavours and combos. Their sweet-induced menu is packed with firm favorites, rotational specials and some good cake. If you're a fan of nuts, their Ferrero Dream crepe is for you but for a fruity flavour, their Banoffee combo will leave you wanting more."
"Restaurants Austrian Marylebone. If your idea of romance is waltzing round old Vienna to the sound of Strauss, you can capture some of that old ‘Blue Danube’ magic with a trip to this instantly comforting Mittel-European number from Messrs Corbin & King. Schnitzels, sausages, ice-cream coupes and – of course – incomparable viennoiserie provide welcome sustenance, with excellent hot chocolate and coffee adding that vital X factor."
"Corbin and King’s refined Marylebone homage to Viennese waltzes past and present is always a fine, low-key luxurious breakfast venue, and in the spirit of fried batter its Austrian crêpes, served either with apricot and brandy jam or a gianduja-approximating hazelnut and chocolate, make a winning centrepiece around which to build an Austrian feast."
"As one of the “OGs” in the matcha scene in London, Tsujiri is most certainly a reliable pick for matcha. They are a matcha dessert tea house so they definitely take their matcha very seriously!. My favourite include the likes of Matcha Soft Serve Ice Cream and Matcha Basque Cheesecake, both lusciously velvety and simply sensational."
"TSUJIRI is a dessert tea house that specialises in everything matcha. Yep, if you’re not a fan of that finely ground fluorescent green tea powder then you’re probably not going to be a huge fan of TSUJIRI. If you’re mad for the stuff, though, you’re in luck."
"Chinatown’s Tsujiri has been mainly about the oh-so-instagrammable matcha soft serves. But they do tubs of their matcha, sesame and black sesame ice cream to have at home too. Delivery: Same day delivery through Slerp"
"Getting Zijun Meng and Ana Gonçalves of Tātā Eatery to input their sandwich wisdom is pretty shrewd of Samuel Haim, the owner of this (soon-to-be) vibey restaurant on Old Compton Street. And yes, the chicken thigh in a pineapple bun with Sichuan chilli and cucumber salad is a stand-out, alongside a poached soy chicken, and a prawn “in” toast which riffs on prawn toast but more faithfully so on Taiwanese coffin bread. The poached chicken is the stand-out and the cocktails are excellent — and this place, which while nicely set up for outdoor dining is the kind of restaurant that will be its best self with loud music, dim lights, and people inside — is only going to get better as reopening proceeds."
"In a nutshell: Restaurant rejuvenated with a menu designed by TA TA Eatery. Working on the proviso that pretty much everything TA TA Eatery get involved with is worth knowing about, folk have already been flocking to this revamped Soho spot which had them overhauling the menu. Jay Rayner was an early reviewer, describing his meal there as "fun, reasonably priced and well-executed"."
"With a menu centred around chicken (as well as options for vegetarians) and cocktails that pay homage to the country, it's the next best thing."
"A post shared by Sara 🌺Lifestyle Blogger (@sara_sharingdreams) on Mar 13, 2017 at 2:18pm PDT. Sample food inspired by various cuisines at The Gate in Hammersmith. Drawing on their Indo-Iraqi and Jewish heritage with some French and Italian flair thrown in for good measure, brothers Adrian and Michael Daniel opened this veggie restaurant in 1989."
"With three London vegan restaurants under their belt now, The Gate are dab-hands when it comes to the meat and dairy free. Head to their swanky Marylebone spot for a slap-up meal of interesting, gastro inspired vegan dishes."
"Walk on over to Chinatown to the flying lanterns, markets, and unique trinkets. Then head to one of the most upscale and obscure dim sum parlors in the city – Opium. A 5-floor walk-up, sign in with the guard at the base of the steps and make your way to the private lounge. Enjoy homemade dumplings, bespoke libations, and a hint of posh as you seriously envision men in smoking jackets with a cigar and brandy with the ladies clad in gowns and pearls."
"Two hip fast-food concepts under one roof, this hybrid from Soho House feeds burger fanatics with highly seasoned patties in glossy brioche buns while chook fans can gnaw on spit-roasted free-range poultry served hot, crisped-up and smoky."
"Nanny Bills at Boxpark won’t disappoint with its choice of hand-pressed burgers and buns. Created in homage to the founder Darren Simpson’s grandma, who operated a thriving café through the ‘70s and ‘80s, Nanny Bills has something of a neighbourhood-minded vibe about it. Classic Nanny Bills burgers include ‘The Dalston Dip’ (a double beef patty with American cheese, onions and gravy) and ‘The Hot Mess’ (a buttermilk fried chicken patty with American cheese, smoked bacon and hot sauce)."
"Award-winning burgers and unrivalled taste, Nanny Bills' vegan and vegetarian range will have your mouth watering. Try their The Lula burger for their famous black bean & quinoa patty, topped with vegan cheddar, vegan burger sauce and glazed pineapple. If you're still craving the taste of meat, their Chick Thing plant-based chicken fillet will fill that fix."
"Sheer yakh (which roughly translates to mean “frozen milk” in English) is a traditional Afghan dessert that’s not dissimilar from Indian kulfi. One of the best places to get your fill of sheer yakh in London is at Afghan Sheeryakh. All of the sheer yakh at this Hanwell dessert parlour is organic and hand-made – a fact that the owner and staff both pride themselves on for good reason."
