A taste of street food Soho style

Today I had my first taste of 'wok to walk'. Walking through London's Soho this afternoon I spotted 'wok to walk', noodles and rice on the go. I have walked past it many times and never gone in but always wondered.

So today was the day. The menu looked good and relevantly cheap for a lunch time bite to eat. It works a lot like subway but a lot nicer. 3 simple steps to your final dish; choose your 'base' (noodles and rice), add your 'favourite' (chicken, veg, fish etc) and then choose your 'sauce' (teriyaki, oyster etc). I went for Udon noodles - the big fat worm like ones with chicken and a soy sauce. It was ready in minutes and was tasty good for only £5.75!

They all come served in those cool American style noodle boxes and are a good hearty potion with plenty of meat with no scrimping on the good stuff.

Pleasant surprise from Pizza Express

I went to Pizza Express at The Freeport Designer Village, Essex last night with my dad and had a lovely evening. I would normally choose not to go to a Pizza Express, unless of course we had a discount voucher of some sort to hand.

So we went out for a quick bite to eat and ended up in a Pizza Express. It wasn't too busy, which was great, usually with their venues when they are busy you can barely hear yourself think let alone the people you are dining with.

The food was good, the waitress was lovely and the general atmosphere was very nice.

All in all it was a very nice visit to Pizza Express and on this occasion I would give them full marks!

And even without the oblatory voucher it was a steal at £25!

The humble car picnic

'Car picnics' ... you can't get in the car for a journey longer than an hour and a half without a 'car picnic'!  Well thats what I think anyway. 


Today I drove to Manchester from Essex, we left at 6.15 this morning - yes you read correctly, well it is bank holiday and even with a 'car picnic' no one wants to be in the car longer than they have to. 


We had a whole pack of Lucozade, 4 crusty bread rolls with chicken, tomato and mayonnaise, chocolate fudge bars x4, a large bag of chessey crisps, cold cooked sausages and cherry scones with butter! Needless to say we were fully stocked for our 3 and a half hour car trip. Oh, did I mention it was just 2 of us in the car.


It seem's to me that the humble 'car picnic' is massively underrated, I would say even unknown to some! Those poor souls. 


So next time you plan your road trip be sure to pack a 'car picnic' to help make it a more enjoyable experience for all.
