Breakfast (Welsh Style) at Thé Pot - Cardiff

Given that most of us lead busy lives, it is quite rare that we take the time to enjoy breakfast. I for one am guilty of hurriedly wolfing down some cereal before heading out. It is fun once in a while to take breakfast at a more leisurely place, therefore, if you are looking for an interesting alternative to a Full English then Thé Pot in Cardiff is the place for you! 

Thé Pot offers an excellent Welsh Breakfast which includes scrambled egg, bacon, thick slices of toast and the welsh specialities: Glamorgan Sausages and Laverbread. Their names are quite misleading as Glamorgan Sausages are vegetarian and Laverbread is not actually bread! Glamorgan sausages are made out of cheese, leeks and breadcrumbs whereas Laverbread (or bara lawr in welsh) is in fact made out of seaweed called Laver found on the welsh coast. The seaweed is minced and formed into a patty. It may sound strange but trust me, it is delicious!



You can see that I had a sneaky bite of toast before taking the photo!
Not only does Thé Pot rustle up great breakfast but it also has a wide variety of drinks. We tried their Fruit Crumble Smoothie (red berries, pear, banana, cinnamon, apple juice and oats) and the Rather British Smoothie (apple, berries and elderflower cordial). They are quite unusual combinations but I particularly enjoyed the rough oaty texture of the crumble smoothie. 

I have been to Thé Pot many time so I can safely say that they also do fantastic hot drinks, lunch and cake but it is their welsh breakfast that really stands out for me.

Tea with a ghost? | Tiny Tim's Tearoom | Canterbury

Canterbury is such a historic city so I was looking for a traditional place for afternoon tea. Tiny Tim's Tearoom was the perfect place. Housed in a gorgeous 17th century building, this tearoom is particularly inviting with its baked goods displayed in the shop windows. Inside, Glen Miller was playing softly in the background, giving the place a nostalgic, vintage feel. Many British favourites were on offer, such as, crumpets, scones and hearty sponge cakes. I had an excellent coffee and walnut cake which had a wonderfully potent coffee flavour unlike many shop-bought ones. Served with a dollop of cream, ice cream or custard, these cakes are the ultimate comfort food. Tea is also in abundance. I tried Keemun Orchid which was a black tea that had notes of plum, orchid, sesame and pine. There are also more traditional blends for those who prefer more conventional tea. I attended this tearoom alone after a pleasant morning visiting Canterbury Cathedral. However, was I t...

The Apple Pie Map | Hirosaki, Aomori

Are you a fan of apple pie? If you are, then Hirosaki might just be the place for you! Hirosaki is in Aomori, a prefecture in the Tohoku region in the north of Japan. Aomori is famous for its delicious apples, and nowhere is this fruit more greatly celebrated than in the city of Hirosaki. There are over 50 shops in the town selling different types of apple pie. With so many options, it can seem overwhelming. How can you possibly find the perfect pie for you?! Well, the answer is simple. All you need is the Apple pie map !  Not only does the map tell you all the different locations for pie shops and bakeries, it also rates each pie on its sweetness, sourness and amount of cinnamon. My personal favourite is  スリーブリッヂ or Three Bridge, a cute little bakery near Hirosaki station. Their pie is rated 3/5 for sweetness and sourness. But don't take my word for it, head to Hirosaki and do your own research! There's plenty of pies to enjoy and beautiful sites ...
