Bubble Waffles @ Nosteagia, Green Park

-
Carrying on with my London dessert posts, I introduce .... Nosteagia! You've no doubt seen their bubble waffles on Instagram. This is a van-business started by 2 graduate students who wanted to bring Asian and English food together, with the Bubble Waffle being inspired by the Egg Puff in Hong Kong. 

       

Honestly, this place is a hidden gem. The van is positioned in a square area off the main road opposite Green Park, where there are a few other vans including hot dogs and hog roasts (which looked good but we were only interested in the dessert), with a grassy garden bit in the middle where you could sit.

We were really lucky with the weather, so we sat in the garden area bit opposite the van, which was really peaceful considering we were in a touristy area.

But on to what you actually want to know about - the dessert.

I had the Cookie Monster- nutella, a chocolate chip cookie, cream and chocolate sauce. This was sooo good- crisp and crunchy on the outside but chewy on the inside. I was going to ask for it without the cream as I don't like it, but on reflection I'm glad I didn't because it would've ruined the aesthetic.

 My friend had the King Chocolate- M&Ms, kitkats, cream and chocolate sauce. Both looked and tasted so good, but quite hard to eat if I'm honest. I don't really know if I ate it right, I kind of scooped out and ate the cream and cookies and then ate the waffle and nutella separately.




The two things sold are bubble waffles and bubble tea- so naturally we got bubble tea too. I'd never had bubble tea until uni, but now I just love it. I got passion fruit tea with mango bubbles, and my friend got mango tea with lychee bubbles. Not gonna lie, I preferred my friend's (we switched half way through). The bubble tea was actually cheaper than Bubbleology, where I normally get it, and tasted better too. Probably because Nosteagia import their ingredients from Taiwan.


As I said the van is just opposite Green Park so we walked and sat there to drink our bubble tea. This was such a nice place to go for dessert, I feel like it was a good day for us because the weather was so nice- I can't imagine where we would've sat if it was raining. 

 But there you have it! If you're ever in Green Park checking out Buckingham Palace, don't hesitate to pop over and get a bubble waffle. I think they are opening a new store in Shoreditch as well.

 For now ☺

A Guide To Kolkata Street Food

Indian street food- delicious, quick and incredibly cheap. Need any more convincing? One of the things I most look forward to when we visit Kolkata (after seeing family of course) is the street food. There's nothing like it. Different parts of India have specialties, and here is your guide to street food in Kolkata, in the East of India. You've probably heard about food poisoning from street food (and true, I did get food poisoning this time), but in general if you follow take these precautions you should be safe. Don't ever drink water unless you've seen it's been filtered or is sealed bottled water. If you've seen Slumdog Millionaire you'll see that sometimes they put tap water into bottles and pass it off as mineral water! This applies to food as well- if there is ANY water in your street food, do not eat it If the food is on a plate that has just been washed, make sure to wipe any excess water off it so it doesn't contaminate the food Only...

The one with Friends Fest

Remember in secondary school when teachers made you say a 'fun fact' about yourself as an ice-breaker? Well, mine was always that I could quote any F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode. So when I managed to get Friends Fest tickets this year you can imagine how hyped I was!  It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I've been waiting for this day for years. We went to the Friends Fest in Kenington Park, London but there are locations all over the UK. The doors opened at 12 and we had a set tour at  pretty much as soon as we arrived. The set tour was probably my favourite part of the whole thing! It was 30 minutes long, with 10 minutes in each of Joey and Chandler's, Ross' and Rachel and Monica's apartments which felt surreal. I was amazed at how much detail they had put into the sets - they even filled up Joey's fridge with take away boxes. I loved seeing all the original props (including Phoebe's guitar and my personal favourite Pat the Dog). T...

Travels to Vienna

So my travelling for this summer consisted of a week trip to Vienna. Whilst there, we couldn't not take advantage of the short journeys to Budapest and Bratislava, so we managed to cover 3 places (although Budapest was slightly rushed in a day). Each one was different in their own wonderful way, so I'll do separate posts for each. SO, I shall start with Vienna!  WARNING - excessive panorama shots    The first thing we did when stepping out of the airport at Vienna was to buy our underground tickets. At the machines, the ticket options were for a person, or a person with a dog. A city with an appreciation for dogs? I was going to like it here. With my last two holidays being India and Canada, I forgot that there are people that don't speak my language abroad. So it took a while to get used to the German, as well as a trip down memory lane to my year 8 German lessons.  Our hotel was 5 mins from Prater, a massive fairground/water park which was so lively at n...
