The Square

The Square, 7-9, The Poultry, Nottingham.

Just another quick one to show off all the pretty drinks me and a few friends had the other day at The Square in Nottingham center. 

L-R: Blowjob, Strawberry cheesecake & some unknown shot. I had the blowjob, but all giggles aside this was awesome. Banana liqueur, Baileys and whipped cream. 

L-R:  Jaffa cake, After Eight & Strawberry cheesecake. I'd been eyeing this up after someone else had is to I decided to go for it. It's basically the same as a blowjob but has strawberry liqueur instead of banana. It wasn't as nice, put it that way. 

L-R: Zombie, Key West Cooler (the tall one), Neon Dream (at the front) & Purple People Eater. The barman was getting a bit sick of us ordering Neon Dreams all the time, so we ended up having a variety. And at 2 cocktails for £6.50 it was alllll goood. 

This is where thing get a bit blurry, I don't remember all of these lol. The green one is a Shrek, the tall red one is a Little Red Dress (which was really nice and fruity) and there's my favourite drink, a white russian (the small white one <3) 

I don't even know what these ones are o_o They were all very tastey though!

28.12.10 - Wagamama

Wagamama, The Corner House, Burton Street, Nottingham.

Words cannot describe how much I love Wagamama. Seriously. One night, Laura, Niki and I decided we needed a girls night out. So, we decided on going to Wagamama and then for a few cocktails, I'd never been before so I was getting pretty damn excited (as I do with food). I actually spent an hour the previous night looking at the menu and choosing what I wanted. (Yes, I am lame. I even know what I'm going to have when I go back.)

First things first.

Drinks! Laura had to skip the alcohol at first because her glands were swollen :[ but she joined in later. The one in the back with the lemon is 511 Fuji club which was Niki's, "rum, with fresh apple and lime juice garnished with an apple wheel" (£5.25) Mine at the front was a 510 Harajuku "vodka, honey and thai basil with fresh pineapple juice" (£5.25) I can't deny anything with honey in it, and this had vodka too AND pineapple juice. I think I died a little from happiness. Laura had the peach iced tea (£1.75)

So after a short wait of choosing food (Well, Laura and Niki aren't as sad as me and didn't choose their food the previous night) and me getting more and more excited, our food had arrived.

Chilli Squid - £5,35

Oh baby <3 This stuff was actually amazing. "Deep-fried squid seasoned with sea salt and shichimi. Served with a chilli, garlic and coriander dipping sauce" The squid was really nice and crunchy on the outside but beneath all the deep fried goodness the insides were nice and chewy as squid should be. I could have eaten this twice <3 Thank god I can use chopsticks.

Chilli Beef Ramen - £11.85

God, I love ramen. I really, really do. Especially this ramen, which turned up in a bowl which was at least 3x bigger than I expected with a ma-hoosive sirloin beef steak in it. I was a little worried about how hot the chilli was gonna be in this but I ended up putting extra chilli oil into it, which gave it that extra kick it needed. The beef was great, nice and pink in the middle and not chewy at all, which is great considering I'm not amazing with chopsticks. I did struggle a bit at first with picking stuff up, but I got back into it. Just like riding a bike >:D The chicken and beef soup was really great, I managed to eat all the noodles and beef but I left a bit of the soup because I was just so full. THERE WAS SO MANY BEANSPROUTS. 

All in all, I love Wagamama and I really wanna go back! Like, now! <3

Bruges

Yeah, Belgium was awesome! Gonna keep this one brief because this was a while ago and I seem to have misplaced my food notebook with all the details. </3 These chocolate boobs caught my attention, they were everywhere! Bruges is basically a town FULL of shops. It's amazing. There must have been about 70 chocolate shops in a mile radius, there was way too much temptation.

My beautiful haul of Belgium sweeties and chocolates. The box is full of babelutte chocolates from Babelutte by Bartholomeus which I will blog when I get the chance. Other things in here are some marzipan balls, 3 different hot chocolate sticks, some rock candy (My brother is lactose intolerant, poor kid) and some banana filled chocolate.

How pretty are these chocolates?! They're all numbered and came in a really cute box in a bag. The shop we got them from was all white and minimalistic, and smelled sooo chocolatey. They were 20 euros a box, which is 25 chocolates. So a little expensive but worth it. 

I had a slight inner struggle trying to pick out only 5 flavours because they all sounded so good but I ended up choosing: 

#04 - Dark Chocolate / Babelutte / Peppermint. 

#08 - Milk Chocolate / Gingerbread / Orange.

#09 - Milk Chocolate / Passion Fruit. 

#25 - Dark Chocolate / Strawberry / Pepper / Lemon. 

#58 - Dark Chocolate / Babelutte / Sea Salt. 

Another thing I loved about Belgium was beasty hotdogs for only 4 euros. Ohyes. My kinda town.
