Taco Bell UK Serving Halal in Certain Branches
Did you guys know that some of the Taco Bell shops are halal in the UK? Yes, we’re actually one whole year late to this news and you’re perhaps rolling your eyes whilst reading this post. BUT at HGAT, we believe that late is better than never so we headed out to one of the […]
Product Review: The Ojos Foods
The Ojos Foods is an award-winning, family-run business that has been in operation for over 30 years. So, to say they know a thing or two about what makes good charcuterie meat is an understatement. We’ve also worked with them on several projects before on HGAT and have tried almost every halal product they sell. […]
Chicken Shawarma
Since Ramadan is over, dinner in my house is returning to a somewhat healthy state. No deep-frying, unless its doughnuts because no one can say no to doughnuts, and no desserts, unless it’s ice cream, chocolatey, pastry, or cookie based. Okay, basically it doesn’t seem like much has changed but pinky promise, I’m trying to […]
Gunpowder Tower Bridge
Last week, something TERRIBLE happened to me and I blame BW 98%. It was 10am and I was tending to child, when the front door rang. You see, BW was expecting a very, very important package and it was estimated to be delivered between 12-2pm. I couldn’t miss it, so I quickly hop, skipped, and […]
Halal Options at Winter Wonderland
For my 16th birthday, TEN years ago, I had booked a large Hummer limousine to take me and my friends to Winter Wonderland for ice skating, followed by a meal at Planet Hollywood. Oh and there was a “neon” dress code too. I’m cringing as I type this – ugh. ANYWAYS back to the point, […]
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 […]
Maison Bab
I realise it’s been a while since I’ve posted a restaurant review, although it doesn’t feel that long to me. You see, I had a baby a couple of months ago for those of you who didn’t know, and it feels like time has just blurred together in my baby brain. But, I would never […]
Peking Garden
Without knowing it, BW and I have always been connected one way or another throughout our lives. From being at the same wedding functions to even living around the corner from one another, we never knew each other existed until the day we were introduced. Which brings me to Peking Garden, our local Chinese restaurant […]
Two Buns
A few weeks before Ramadan started, BW and I decided to go visit all our friends in the suburbs before his parents came to visit. As we were going to be in the area, we thought we would check out Two Buns, a burger joint that has been keen for me to visit them for […]
Buddha Bar
Although 99% of my reviews are dinners with BW, I want to make it clear that we do have friends and do enjoy other people’s company too. Now, we do have a fairly meaningful age gap between us, which has yielded limited options in terms of other couples to hang out with. Thankfully, over the […]
