Mei Mei

  


Went to Mei Mei in town for dim sum with Holly. The last time we went there was for my birthday last year. We got there just before 1pm and there was a bit of a wait for a table but luckily we didn't have to wait long. We just ordered a load of dim sum and not any mains.




Holly got a bowl of Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup.
Char Siu Cheung Fan - Roasted Pork in steamed Vermicelli Rolls


Don't know what the top left is because we didn't order it and when we asked the waitress we don't have a clue what she said!
Chicken Feet - Chicken Feet in Satay Sauce
(This is what it says on the menu but it's defo not satay sauce and it's black bean sauce!)
Steamed Egg Custard Layer Cake - Has coconut
Har Gau - Prawn Dumplings


Lap Cheung Bao - Steam Bun with Chinese Sausage

We also ordered char siu bao but ordered it 4x before it actually came! So we ordered it with our main order, then when we said we didn't order the random dumplings we told her that we were ordered char siu bao, then we asked the same person again and ordered the Chinese sausage bun - which came but no chair siu bao. Then ended up telling what looked like the manager woman and it eventually came. Service was absolutely crap. Couldn't believe how we just didn't get this char siu bao. I was happy to leave it but Holly was adamant that she wanted them. 

Got charged 10% service fee but cos Holly paid too soon didn't get the chance to get it taken off. Because there was no service and we shouldn't have to pay it. When they seated us they just presumed we were having English and gave us a spoon and fork rather than the Chinese set up with a bowl and chopsticks. Didn't offer us any Chinese tea. Just wasn't a great experience but one of them annoying things where we could complain and I write this awful blogpost and nothing will happen or change.

On the way home I went to Maccies and got a Biscoff Mcflurry on the new summer menu


It was nice but I didn't enjoy it because I was so full - probably the most food I've eaten in the past 2 weeks as I've just lost my appetite - I think because of the heat. I thought the sauce was Biscoff but apparently it's caramel. I couldn't even tell you what it was because everything is blurring into one and I clearly wasn't paying attention. I only got it because I knew if I didn't then I probably would miss out. Hopefully I do get my appetite back soon.

Bottomless Brunch



Went for bottomless brunch at Tempest on Tithebarn for Danielle's birthday yesterday. It's been a few years since we've been together and celebrated Danielle's birthday.

We went to Tempest which was really nice. Danielle, Kelly and Hannah did the bottomless brunch where they got 90 minutes to choose from a list of 11 different cocktails and food for £35. I just got my own drink and food from the menu.

I finally got my waffle fix!



Curious George - Sweet waffle, with Nutella, Banana, Cream and sprinkled with mixed chopped nuts

I got it basically dissected and Danielle got it how it should have looked. I don't like fruit mixed with stuff and I don't like cream but it didn't end up coming with cream luckily!


Kelly asked them to get her a piece of cake and sang Happy Birthday to her. Fully embarrassed and awkward!

It's really nice in there and has a rooftop bar but we sat inside which was nice and cool as it was so hot yesterday. After Danielle booked a table at Abditory wine bar in Queen's Avenue.



Danielle got a salt and pepper chicken toastie as for £3.75 it was a good price




After we went to Maccies to get a McFlurry as I really wanted one because it was so hot and we went to Naked Noodle to get some sushi and went back to Kelly's as she had a free house. It was nice to catch up and hopefully get to do it soon! Hope you enjoyed your birthday Danielle!
