Went to Bristol Spirit, a bar just off the Bristol-Bath Railway Path. Saw a Wriggle deal for dirty fries with Korean fried chicken. The Korean fried chicken is like Hainanese chicken chop but the skin is crispier. The chicken was cooked to just how I like it, completely white on the inside. The skin remained […]

‘Full Bam’ breakfast at Bambalan
I had a Wriggle voucher for a ‘Full Bam’ breakfast – Bambalan’s North African influenced Full English. Grilled merguez sausage, streaky bacon, baked eggs, slow cooked tomato, flat mushroom, potato & chickpea hash brown, spiced beans, sourdough. Two eggs, two strips of bacon, two sausages! Their version of a merguez sausage is made from pork. […]

A whole platter to myself – how ‘shellfish’ of me!
On the first day of Chinese New Year, I did not want to pay through the nose for a Chinese New Year banquet with cheap ingredients with ‘auspicious’ names. So I headed to Loch Fyne after spotting a 40% off voucher (!!!) and having no takers, had the whole shellfish platter all to myself. I know, […]

Miller & Carter Steakhouse
Miller & Carter recently opened a branch in Bristol’s Cribbs Causeway. Mind you, Cribbs Causeway refers to the area. The restaurant actually shares a lot with Travelodge. The first time I tried to get there, I spent an age wandering around The Mall, Cribbs Causeway trying to locate it cos a road name wasn’t given.

Lobster Thursdays at Brown’s Restaurant
Brown’s is a chain of restaurants round the UK located in fancy heritage buildings. Thursdays are Lobster Thursdays during which they serve fresh lobster at very reasonable prices. Apparently Cambridge animal rights activists protested against the restaurant for cooking lobsters live back in 2014. As long as the lobsters are killed humanely (which the restaurant said […]

The Jetty @ Bristol Harbour Hotel
Bristol Harbour Hotel is a newly-opened hotel at the former Lloyds Bank building on Corn Street. Despite the name, this hotel is nowhere near the harbour! As far as I am concerned, they can give the place any damn name they like when the food is this good! The appetiser was a chunky fish soup […]

Pieminister’s brunch menu
Pieminister are running a promo of 50% off brunch menu items on weekends in November and December. I went there too late last Sunday and couldn’t get a seat. I had The Banger – an open-top pie. The smoky baked beans were too sour and watery and the sausage was too peppery. The Banger is packed […]

The Town House set lunch
The Town House used to have a totally bargainous lunch set menu. Due to increasing costs, they’ve stopped it. However, you can still get the three mains for the old, bargainous price of £ 10 if you like their Facebook page. It’s win-win situation for both the diner and the restaurant, I’d say! I chose […]
