Since today is National Donut Day (but unfortunately not my cheat meal day), I thought I would share the kinds of donuts I would eat if I could, haha!
My favorite kind of donut is vanilla with rainbow sprinkles.
Donuts on donuts on donuts…
So many donuts…
In conclusion, Happy National Donut Day, everyone!
Lots of love,
Hi, everyone!
I wish I could have continued blogging while I was in Manchester, but unfortunately, the Word Press app on my phone was acting up way too much. So, now that I’m back in London and on my laptop, I can blog again without any issues!
On my second day in Manchester, I went to the movies and saw Foxcatcher. I thought the movie was really great. I’m not surprised that Steve Carrell and Mark Ruffalo got nominated for Oscars. Their performances, although very different, were genuine and multifaceted. I think Bennett Miller really created a moving piece that is an interesting study on masculinity, family, sport and America.
But after such an intense movie, I had to lighten up the day. So, it was another day of walking around the city and eating some good food! I grabbed lunch at Brew Dog.
I had wings with their South Carolina mustard sauce. It was delicious! I had never tried a mustard-based sauce on wings. It was great to try something new!
Brew Dog is really known for its beer. I tried its Punk IPA (India Pale Ale), and it was delicious! Richard tried its Hardcore IPA. Both were really good!
Also, if you ever wanted to know more about brewing beer, Brew Dog has this wonderful infographic on everything hops!
After walking around town all afternoon, I had worked up an appetite and decided to go to one of my favorite, if not my favorite spot in Manchester: Mud Crab Cafe.
If any of you ever visit Manchester or live in Manchester, I highly suggest taking the tram to Didsbury Village or the bus to West Didsbury and try this place out! The drinks, the food, the vibe, everything about this place hits the spot for me!
On my third and last day in Manchester, I didn’t take that many photos mainly because I just wanted to soak everything in. Manchester is the city where I really grew up. I learned a lot not just academically but also about myself. I will be forever grateful to that city for everything it has given me.
Oh, I know, that sounds so sappy, but it’s the truth! I’m not ashamed to admit it.
I hope you guys had a lovely start to your week! We made it past hump day, and the weekend is so close!
Lots of love,
This morning, I had breakfast at Kua ‘Aina, a Hawaiian restaurant in central London, and it was pretty good!
I got a latte and blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon.
The only small downside to the meal was that the bacon was burnt a bit… But the great upside was that the blueberry pancakes were delicious! (I’ll totally admit – I took a couple bites before I took the picture of my plate. I totally forgot that I wanted to take a picture of my plate for this blog! I’m definitely not in the habit of taking pictures of my food, but hang in there with me guys, I’m trying!)
Word on the Interwebs is that Kua ‘Aina is known for their burgers, and just from reading about them on the menu this morning, I can see why!
I thought the decor of the place was colorful, vibrant, and fun, brining the best of the Aloha State to the other side of the pond.
To see more about their food and restaurants all over the world, check out Kua ‘Aina’s blog!
Let me just say in the name of transparency here: This post is not sponsored. I really did enjoy my morning at Kua ‘Aina. It truly has an awesome island vibe that you don’t only feel in the decor but also in the food and the friendly service staff!
I love trying new things, experiencing different places. What can I say? I’m just…
Lots of love,
