Gimmick restaurant style pot noodles at Tommy Yummy

Tommy Yummy has been on my to go list because of the gimmick pot noodles.
Finally went and it was one of those scan to order style restaurants which is annoying.
I'd rather they had a mobile ipad or some device to let people order online because it would be more convenient and you can view it like a menu with friends or whoever you are dining with.
The day and night menu is very different, during the day they have express lunch sets for those looking for a quick lunch, however the choices for lunch are more basic as you can imagine as it has to be quick.
I visited during lunch which was probably the wrong decision because of the queue and choices but luckily they still had what I was after.
Now to the star of the show the Stir Fried cup noodle with seafood which really matches the style of the owner Tommy hence the name Tommy Yummy!!!
As expected, you get served a plate of noodles with a cup noodle cup as if it was just poured out.
Overall, nice tom yum flavours but a bit too spicy for my palate and there were so many chilli seeds which were annoying.
I was expecting the long octopus tentacle show on many pics of this dish on social media but it was not in my dish.
Interestingly, I found two different types of instant noodles in the noodle, one was the round strands and the other was the flat strands just like regular Nissin cup noodles.
After looking at pictures of this dish, it seems that I got a mix of different noodles because they probably ran out of the flat instant noodles which is really sad because the round strands are not as good as the thin flat strands in terms of mouthfeel and taste.
The cup noodle paper cup was tailor made for the Tommy Yummy restaurant which can be seen in the design.
Overall, I tried it for the experience so probably wouldn't order this again but I do like their coconut pandan soda drink which I might come back for.





Soybean soup with scallops at ichijuissai

As I was leaving Admiralty MTR, I noticed this Japanese food joint right next to Hana Musubi so went in and had a look.
Just like HM, they also did soybean soup which they call potage.
There are various soybean soups to choose from so I suspect the soup base is the same with the different ingredients of your choice plonked in.
The simplistic menu and options at this place reminded me of Muji meals.
One of the captivating rice options was the plain rice with crab tomalley and miso.
Since I was having dinner that night, I settled for the soybean soup with scallop and radish.
Just as suspected it was the soybean broth with scallops and radish added.
I felt that the soup was a little disappointing because you couldn't really taste the soybean flavour like Hana Musubi and it was rather bland and boring.
The rice with crab tomalley is probably a better choice.















Mochi filled pandan cookies at Mr.W bakery

I was in the area for lunch and spotted these pandan cookies at Mr.W so as a pandan fan how could I resist in not trying one.
As well as pandan cookies, there were other flavours like chocolate chip, marshmallow, matcha etc.
Some were plain cookies and some were filled with mochi.
The pandan cookie I got was filled with mochi so it was a bonus in terms of mouthful.
The pandan and coconut flavour was really pleasing but the texture of the cookie is so different to the chewy soft baked ones which I was expecting like Mrs fields.
The texture of these cookies are crumbly and crunchy with a soft gooey mochi in the middle.
Overall worth trying.

Ham, egg and chips at Cafe Maya, Farringdon

Paid a visit to Cafe Maya as it was a cafe that I haven't tried yet.
They serve the usual breakfast and caff stuff so I had the ham, egg ad chips as I wanted to compare to my favourite place.
The ham was the meaty type and the egg had a crispy base.
Overall, it was ok, just another cafe ticked off.

Chips from Kennedy's Tooting

Thank you for the chips.
I must have chips printed all over my face because I do love chips.
Definitely to my liking, even late at night, they were uniformly golden.
This has been on my to go list in Tooting.
A unique fish and chip bar that serves a good range pies as well








Seventeen Fish Bar, Balham

Another chippy.
Crispy style chips served here.

The hot cross bun latte was nice with cinnamon whipped cream and dusting.
