The Best Broasted
A few months ago, I read an email from a lovely Fowzia informing me of a Syrian restaurant that I just had to try. Now, I’ve received tons of these messages before, but most have been self-promoting their own or a close family/friend’s restaurant, so I’ve been a little sceptical. But this email was different. […]
Wingmans
You know what I haven’t had in forever? A really good buffalo chicken wing. Sure, I’ve had pleennnty of fried chicken (you can watch my series here), but some of the buffalo wings I’ve had have been a bit meh. Either they were double-jointed (my worst nightmare), not fresh, or used way too much Franks red-hot […]
CHIK’N
A couple of weeks back, I decided to take a step on the scales for the first time since my delivery. Mind you, almost 9 weeks had passed so a good chunk must have melted off. I was SHOCKED, no, APPALLED at the number on the weighing scale – I clearly still have a whopping […]
Best Halal Fried Chicken in London
When I say halal fried chicken, I reckon the first thought that pops into your head is Sam’s, Chicken Cottage, Dixie, etc. I do enjoy the occasional spicy chicken wing box from Chicken Cottage, but no, I’m here to show you guys real halal fried chicken. So I’ve rounded up six of my favourite places […]
Good Friend Chicken
A while ago, I leaked a little secret of mine to you guys in a blog post. What secret?! A deliciously juicy, fried secret to be precise. I wrote about this place as part of my Halal Cheap Eats in London post, but really, these guys deserve a whole post to themselves because they’re that […]
Absurd Bird
You know what I haven’t had in a while? Fried chicken. Not any kind of fried chicken, but goooood fried chicken. The type when you bite in, the skin has that unbelievable crunch followed by the succulent and juicy white meat. The batter is so irresistible and well-seasoned that you just can’t put it […]
Da Ja Chicken
When it comes to fried chicken, I don’t think I’ve had a deeper connection like this with anything or anyone else. There is something about the way the coating crunches upon biting in, followed by the succulent chicken meat, that just makes you feel all giddy inside. Putting my love for fried chicken aside for […]
Mother Clucker
When I think of school, my fondest memories are those frequent visits after school to all those halal fried chicken shops on the high street. The spicy wings at Chicken Cottage were a weekly staple and I was, unashamedly, a regular at Sam’s, with my classic strips burger and chilli sauce. PFC, XFC, HFC, Al Halal […]
Ma’Plucker
Every once in a while, we all go through a rough patch. Nothing seems to be going right, and you just can’t catch a break. It happens to the best of us, including my dearest and littlest husband. Maybe it’s just me, but comfort food seems to do the trick in cheering everyone up, plus […]
BIRD
For a food blogger, coming across cool, new restaurants is an easy task. The hard part is just choosing the best out of the bunch to blog about. Now for a halal food blogger its a little different, there simply isn’t a huge amount to choose and even less so if you are looking beyond […]
