Lunch at Gourmet Burger Kitchen today. Tried their new Moroccan The Boat burger. It was really nice. The turmeric bun was tasty

And a little treat afterwards at Patisserie Valerie. Mixed berry mousse and a pot of tea

Call that tea! :eek:

Hah. I knew somebody would comment on the tea. I put too much milk in the cup before adding the tea. After drinking some I put in more tea to make it darker.

That looks kind of legit, where from?

Goemon in preston street if you're ever down here, it was pretty damn good. That was a medium (huge) for about £8.50!

Cheers, wish that existed when I was living there !

Although it is missing a soft boiled egg and wood ears (staples in Tokotsu ramen.)

You can add them as sides, about £1-£1.50 each iirc, I just went with the basic one as I've never been there before.

I see, go back and report back!

In Japan they say a ramen restaurant can be judged on how well they do their marinated soft boiled eggs alone.

This is EXACTLY why it is completely stupid to put milk in tea first. It does absolutely nothing to change taste and just makes it hard to judge the perfect colour blend. :mad:

Milk before water

Absolute savage. Consider your British citizenship revoked!

The only exception to the milk before water rule is if you are using a teapot... you savage!

Always water first in my house. Any time I put milk in first, I misjudge it and end up with horribly weak or strong tea.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Mile before water for coffee but never tea you need the heat to make the teabag work or somthing

Raymond Lin · 10 Apr 2018 at 13:07

Water first, just ask the Chinese who or Japanese who has been doing this for centuries before the west took it over and ruined it with milk.

Craig1981 · 12 Apr 2018 at 15:35

I normally do water first. Not that I drink tea often these days anyway. Just didn’t this time

Craig1981 · 13 Apr 2018 at 18:52

Spent the day at the Siverburn Shopping Centre today. Poked around in a few shops, went to see Ready Player One again at the cinema and had a drink at Starbucks. Also...

Breakfast at Tim Horton's. Double sausage, egg and cheese muffin, hash brown and frozen lemonade

Lunch at Thaikhun. Sweetcorn cakes, followed by barbequed pork on rice. Really nice

And finshed off with a slice of delicious cake at Patisserie Valerie

You do look after your little self don’t you?

Craig1981 · 13 Apr 2018 at 19:42

Yes. Yes I do.

Just fried up some streaky bacon, a sliced chestnut mushroom, a large Clarence Court egg. Toasted a few slices of bakery granary bread. Stuck a slice of cheddar on the toast, loaded it up. Ate it.
