My Never-Ending Love Affair with Food

I only have two vices; raccoon videos and eating out. 
I love checking out new eateries and I'm always daydreaming about my next meal or compiling lists of places I want to try. So I thought why not jot down some of the greatest hits.

Nutella Milkshake from Happy Ending
The drink is a concoction of nutella topped with heavy whipped cream served in a mason jar with chocolate sauce drizzled on the sides. The milkshake is so rich and luxurious, it is like wearing a warm fur coat on a cold day. I imagine the chocolate river in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory must taste like this.










Another of sister's. She ocassionally takes nice pictures



Banoffee Waffles from The Urban Cafe
The best breakfast I've ever had was at lunch time.The waffles there are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside and the warm toffee syrup poured over sliced bananas is the perfect consistency. Also their serving size is more than generous so that really makes it the breakfast of champions. 







21 inches of goodness


21 Inch Pizza from Manhattan Bites
And how can I forget pizza? The one thing I could eat everyday for the rest of my life. Manhattan bites makes a killer 21 inch monstrosity which is a challenge to eat (I fold it up like roll). I always go for the Manhattan Special which has all the fix-ins including chicken fajita chunks and pepperoni slices. Paired with their southwestern sauce, the pizza makes any ordinary day extraordinary

Heaven Can Wait from OmNom
I only ever order chicken burgers except that one time I tried ostrich meat (it was not bad). So amongst all the burgers I have ever had this delicious juicy chicken burger is the one that stands out. It made me fall in love with honey mustard. It has a succulent patty and fresh vegetables in a soft bun which actually made me say OMNOMNOM. 
Salivating looking at this




Cake Alaska from Jammin' Java
I am always craving something 'sweet to eat' as I often say. So my favourite dessert has to be this chocolatey goodness which is basically two slices of chocolate fudge cake sandwiching a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and drowning in a pool of chocolate sauce. Doesn't that sound heavenly?


Everything I've had here so far was perfect!


Fiery Red Dragon Chicken from The Rice Bowl
I was skeptical about this place because it is hard to find good Chinese food. However, the spicy chicken gravy coupled with chowmein and rice was a treat for my taste buds. You can tell by the name it was super spicy and had plenty of delectable chicken and veggies. My friend had the Sweet and Sour Crispy Chicken which was equally yum!

Y-U-M



Belgian Molten Lava Cake from Sweet Tooth
For me the ice-cream that accompanies the molten lava cake is just as important and sweet tooth had the yummiest vanilla ice-cream ever. The lava is made of Belgian chocolate and hits just the right spot. It is hands down the best molten lava cake I've had so far. 

Visually appealing right? (Source: The Lahore Social)



Tortellini Pasta from The Lahore Social
I don't usually like alfredo sauce; it's always too creamy or too doughy so imagine my surprise when this pasta's sauce was the perfect consistency. The dish looked very appealing as well with colourful tortellini, fresh mushrooms and sprigs of coriander arranged tatsefully.



Perfection

   

                                                               
Chocolate Malt Cake from Nando's
A soft and rich sponge that melts in your mouth slathered in delicious malt frosting is the reason this cake is hardly ever available at the restaurant. It is the perfect way to end the meal.












Ugh I knew it was a bad idea to write this down on an empty stomach. Luckily, there's chicken tikka for lunch at the office today. Until the next time I eat something nommy, good bye!
