Cake Boy…yet again…

Bunny will very likely not be celebrating Valentine’s Day, but some heart warming soup is a good idea in February anyway

Bunny and friend finally checked out the Jamie Oliver shop in Clapham Junction. Among the overpriced olives and dry looking bread we found a gem: The JME Magic Meltdown hot chocolate spoon…was fab, much fun and I had to drink it out of my JME Foxy Lady mug of course…

Bunny still loves New Covent Garden Soups…the soup of the month for January is supposed to help you shape up…with a free healthy eating plan too

Bunny hasn’t really got much of a sweet tooth, but Cake Boy in the new Battersea Reach development is a proper treat…Check out those blueberry muffins – must count towards your 5-a-day? :D That lazy riverside walk along the Thames surely counts as exercise too? Shame they are not open on Sundays tho…

So, Bunny found herself dragged north of the river to Westfield Shopping Centre…impressive – yes. To my liking? Well, seeing as I don’t like shopping even on a quiet day, my verdict is: Too big, too busy…and feel sad for anyone who will spend an entire day there, shopping, dining and going to the cinema…

The one thing I really did enjoy tho, was Crepe Affaire…sweet and savoury and very tasty crepes…I am sure some will say that the crepe machine is cheating, but it was very efficient

Ah, how about some witches brew to warm you up on a chilly halloween afternoon…Bunny loved the Soup of the Month from New Covent Garden.

Also, I love their description of their soup:

(the only thing negative about Covent Garden soups is a slightly too high salt content)

Soup of the Month

Serve up a cauldron of our menacingly smoky pumpkin & sweet tomato soup, with a host of Halloween surprises. Eyes of Newt (or rather black eye beans), toe of frog (well, sweetcorn), wing of bat (actually no, bats are our friends – see below) and tongue of dog (we love dogs too – so some rice instead). Surprisingly, this soup is suitable for vegetarians!

Having tried the restaurant, on a rainy day in London I thought I’d try the soup he endorses…disappointed! Probably good ingredients, but not exactly spicy…may have been because I made the mistake of buying it from Asda

Bunny has always loved Appletiser, and is no less fan of their new Fruitiser range (even if it is a Coca Cola Company product). Lucky Bunny got a free sample from Toni&Guy, who are obviously doing some co-promotion, and will def be buying more in the future. Such a joy with something that hasn’t had any sugar added Bunny is convinced that they are delicious with a bit of booze added too…enjoy responsibly, right

So, having spent a day in Southampton, Bunny hasn’t really got much to add about the city over what has already been said by others…not I place I’d choose to visit again methinks.

I did however notice a massive marketing stunt – at the Food Terrace in West Quay shopping centre – from Sblended Milkshakes (apparently they used to be know as Shake About….not that I had ever heard about either before now). Vouchers and samples being handed out by young men; I guess they are targeting girls Not sure how well it work, as seriously, these days, would you not prefer a healthy, but just as tasty smoothie…?
