Happy Garden. It's a bold statement to make but its arguably the best Chinese takeaway in Middleton 👌

(No this isn't all I ate, just what fit on the plate)

For those who I've contacted and posted my sauce to, I hope you enjoy it but don't forget what uncle Shang always says... "Your soul is mine!" 🔥🥵.

For those who didnt get a bottle and still want to try it. Haché MCR have a big bottle of it that's being used for the 666 wing/tender challenge. Test your might with that 😉

I was with Dirty Food Revolution yesterday taking some photos as part of his website and new product launch.

He very kindly gave me a bag of stash, which included a bottle of each of his sauces and keyring bottles of each sauce.

Whilst I'd love to give away the full size bottles, they're mine and will be empty in a week or so as I put his sauces on everything I eat. However, I thought it would be nice to give these away to followers who want to give them a try.

I'll think of a nice way to do it and will put a post up in the next few days, so watch this space 🙂

Mario's Pizzeria, Middleton - Special Mixed Kebab on Naan (£12.49)

***Food Hygiene rating: 4/5***

The Donner - They claim its their own special recipe and I can believe it. Theres a nice meaty flavour to it followed by a noticeable peppery taste. Whilst the texture is what lets it down a little, its actually pretty nice Donner meat if you dont mind it with a peppery kick

The Chicken - I'm more of a fan of it being cubed but i'm not against it being butterflied like this. Especially when theres this much flavour and is genuinely succulent. There was only 2 pieces of it amonst this Kebab but I gusss thats fair considering its size.

The Lamb - Meaty and juicy but not much else going for it. It didnt have the same care and attention paid to its flavour profile as the other items and didn't have anything going it taste-wise other than it being Lamb.

The Salad - It's salad.

The Sauce - I asked for chilli sauce and I got a tub of a red sauce. It wasnt particularly spicy nor did it taste like a relish. I'm not sure it added anything to the Kebab if i'm honest.

The Bread - There was 2 Naans included with this and it looked and tasted like it came from a packet if i'm honest. It was also quite dry. It did its job but it wasn't the slightly charred and bubbly type of Naan i prefer.

Overall - I ordered from here a while ago and posted pictures but for whatever reason, I didnt get round to writing a review so I felt like I needed to go again and follow up on it this time round.

The meats are mostly nice with the Lamb being a little underwhelming amd the Donner meat could be hit and miss with some people if you arent a fan of it having a bit of a kick to it. It hit the spot well enough for me so I can't complain too much, I just wish there was a bit more of it for the price that was paid as it felt as if this should be priced under a tenner for the quantity and quality of it but alas, order fees come into it and that might be why its breaking that price point.

I'd go again but theres definitely some room for improvement and making said changes (better Naan, more Donner meat, seasoning the Lamb, better sauce) would push the score up a lot more.

6.5/10

Be careful out there folks, There's sneaky tactics being used to take your hard earned cash.

I spotted this last night - Hungryll on Middleton Eats had a 50% off offer from Friday-Sunday. It caught my eye as typically these are the busiest days for a takeaway and such an offer isn't needed to keep orders coming in.

After clicking into the menu, it was immediately obvious that prices had been inflated and were higher than your typical Kebab or Burger pricing for the area. My thought process at that point was to check to see if they had an online menu or direct way of ordering to be able to compare and check if these prices were actually normal or inflated for the purposes of the offer and as a surprise to absolutely no-one, it was exactly that!

50% off should be 50% off your normal price NOT inflating prices by 50% to then knock it back off again and sell items at the normal rate. This is unethical and you wont be getting by business by having such sly business practices. I completely underdstand that prices on delivery apps are usually inflated a little as they naturally take a cut but to overinflate prices and then try and make out as if you're doing us a favour by having an offer on, just doesn't sit well with me.

Good food at a fair price, is that really so much to ask?

***** Update - Apparently this was done by the owner of the delivery app, without the restaurants permission and has now been corrected by the owner *****

Facebook followers, I call upon your help to settle an arguement between me and the misses.

I'm not much of a cereal eater and almost always have toast with something for breakfast (egg on toast, sausage/bacon butty or beans on toast).

The misses is of the opinion I'm weird for eating stuff like that when we wake up and thinks its only acceptable to eat such things after 9.30.

Thanks to the kids, we're awake between 5.30-6.30 most days so I absolutely wouldn't want to wake up and wait 3-4 hours to have breakfast and my arguement is that Cafe's and Maccies etc all have a breakfast menu served early doors for a reason and its fine to eat hot food in the morning where as she thinks its more of a brunch thing/late morning meal.

Who's right here?

(Picture for attention)

We fancied a burger for tea last night and well, around these parts there's no-one that comes close to the flavours Burger Eats Manchester has to offer so it was a no brainer to order from there.

It was my first time trying the Donner loaded fries from there and it was amazing. There's quite a few flavours that come through with each bite amd at different stages but the one I loved the most was the sauce they used. Its very similar to a classic Kebab chilli sauce but with a nice warmth to it that's complimented by the tang of the Jalapenos 👌.

On a personal note too, it was a welcomed surprise to see such a happy and smiling depivery driver. Usually delivery drivers have a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp and throw the food at me but the fella from Burger Eats had a smile on his face. Yeah, its only a 5-10 second interaction but it makes a difference - Enough for me to think about it whilst writing this and comment how nice it was to see someone enjoying what they do 🙂.
