About Time: You Discovered London's Best Cookie Deliveries
"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."
"OK so every child is partial to sugary treats, but Bubblewrap is Chinatown’s must-visit destination for outrageously good confections. Within a Hong-Kong style waffle wrap hides soft matcha or chocolate ice cream, layers of sticky sauce, crushed Oreo and fresh fruit. In fact, Bubblewrap is so good, they’ll be begging you to return each week."
"Unit 20B, Lower Ground Floor, The Market, The Piazza, Covent Garden WC2E 8RB Why should you care?. Instagram fave Bubblewrap are unveiling a new store, this time in the heart of Covent Garden. Expect all the popular flavours and some special exclusives for the new store too."
"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?"
"Nando's is a firm favourite across the country, with delicious flame-grilled peri-peri chicken, as well as tasty vegetarian and vegan options and mouth-watering sides. As one of the most popular places to eat in Wembley Park, they’ve embraced al fresco dining and will offer table service after 12 April in their outside seating area. No reservation required."
"Address: London Designer Outlet, Empire Way, Wembley, Greater London HA9 0PA. Phone number: 0208 902 7388. On the menu: Famed for its chicken."
"I'm sure you've seen Drunch all over your Instagram – it's good food and good vibes. With delicious drinks, a huge selection of food, and a unique aesthetic, Drunch is the go-to place for brunch. They serve it all day and also have an à la carte dinner menu."
"If you’re a big fan of croissants, then the Pasty Parlour is a must for your Little Black Book. One of London’s best bakeries, everything is baked fresh on-site daily and their pastries are said to rival the originals from across the channel. 8 Piazza Walk, London E1 8FU; thepastryparlour.co.uk"
"A post shared by Pompi (@pompi.uk) on Nov 18, 2019 at 1:44am PST. 'Il Regno del Tiramisù', it says in curlicued letters across Pompi's logo: 'King of Tiramisù'. A bit boastful, and 100% accurate."
"They have a wide range of desserts to choose from, including customisable crepes, waffles and sundaes. Located only five minutes away from our Manhattan Heights apartments, Creams is a great place to visit when you feel like treating yourself to something extra sweet. It’s ideal for friends, children, or the perfect place for a date with your sweetheart!"
"Born from a man’s dream to recapture the American diner scene, along with home-grilled burgers, hand-cut fries and thick milkshakes, Big Moe’s diner perfectly encapsulates classic American eating. Their menu spoils you for choice, from chargrilled beef and chicken burgers, lamb ribs and steaks to Cod and veggie options. If you want to start your day right, their breakfast menu serves New York-style Cro-dough and huge platters of beef sausages and chicken rashers served with free-range eggs and baked beans."
"Some of the most famous names from the comedy circuit feature at Comedy Carnival, stars of Live At The Apollo and Mock The Week among them. At Bar Rumba on Shaftesbury Avenue off Leicester Square, Comedy Carnival has shows every Friday and Saturday night from 8.00-10.00pm and also stages a gig on one Saturday each month at Infernos on Clapham High Street. The familiar faces of Reginald D Hunter and Holly Walsh are complimented by some of the freshest talent from across the world."
"If only all watering holes were like this lively Chinese restaurant-meets-pub, where the beer is fresh and unpasteurised and the bar snacks include a delightful array of dim sum, from venison puffs to scallop shumai. The informal yet sumptuously decorated two floor venue on Berwick Street (Soho) is from the king of London’s trendy Chinese food scene Alan Yau – the man behind Yauatcha and Hakkasan. The great thing about the menu here is that, while it’s Chinese food done properly, there are also plenty of takeaway classics to appease us boring Brits, with the comforting inclusion of classics like sesame prawn toast and chicken in black bean sauce."
"At face value, this stalwart pub in Soho seems an unlikely addition to this round-up. While drinks are served in the buzzy ground floor bar, head upstairs for the real deal. Chinese food is served in the intimate dining room - be sure to order the Cantonese-style roast duck, hand-reared at a local family-owned farm."
"Healthy eating is made effortless at the kooky Squeeze Cafe, whipping up powerful fruit smoothies (Bee Pollen and Milk Thistle come highly recommended) and colourful superfoods. Moroccan sharing plates, towering burgers and classic breakfast dishes draw a young crowd craving cleansing brunches and fruit juices to soothe a hangover, but the crowds flood in through to the evening. A surprisingly long list of craft beers, fruit ciders, wines and spirits is available until 11.30pm, so there’s really no need to move on when dinner’s finished."
