Review: PEPE's Piri Piri

The first post for this blog begins with a light stroll in Kelvingrove park. Me and my two pals were walking along the path, taking in the beautiful sights and inhaling the earthy aromas when miraculously and simultaneously we all self-diagnosed ourselves with extreme hunger.
A brief scout on Trip Advisor pointed us to PEPE's "The home of the Flame-grilled chicken". This slogan, combined with its close location resulted in a quickly achieved collaborative decision.

As we entered the store we were greeted with that familiar piri-piri smell, not too dissimilar to Nandos and cheery smiles from the guys working there - they knew the score.

The menu was displayed both on and above the counters with numerous options. Obviously at a chicken place you kind of know what you're signing up for, the menu included chicken burgers, wraps, wings, strips, pittas, tortillas and whole chickens with sides, extras and somehow vegetarian options.

Here's a link to the full menu: http://www.pepes.co.uk/menu

My thought process was relatively hazy due to my level of hunger, the same can be said about my two friends... I opted for what I considered a safe option, due to my lack of knowledge of PEPE's delicacies, and went for the 5 piece Tender Strip Meal, Large Piri-salted fries and a Tango.

It was undeniably good. I got 'Hot' spice flavor on the strips which, to be fair, almost stopped me in my tracks but my hunger pushed me on and the ice-cold Tango acted as a cooling agent. The large chips came in a generous portion size and they did not hold back on the piri-salt for the chips.
Due to the degree of my hunger I forgot to take a photo of the meal but here is some options from their website:

I would 100% recommend PEPEs to those in similar situations to me and my friends and it is safe to say we will be returning to combat any extreme hunger that arises.

Review: Dennistoun Bar-B-Q

This second edition of fried foods takes place shortly after the publishing of the first post, when recommendations of good munchie spots came flying in. I’ve been told to go try Dennistoun Bar-B-Q on multiple occasions before and now I've got this blog  I felt obligated to see what the hypes about. It's about a 2 minute walk from Duke Street train station. This time me and my review colleagues were inhaling more industrial aromas as we began our stroll. This walk, coupled with this inhalation of Dennistoun's smells and fumes, created an urgent sense of hunger in my friends and I. It’s kind of rustic with an old cinema-style sign outside which is hard to miss as it contrasts with every other sign in Dennistoun. The menu was simple and had a decent range of BBQ choices. Self-described as a “Texan-inspired diner and takeaway serving burgers, BBQ-smoked meats, ribs and sides.” Here's a pic: Went up to order and got told they don't take card which is a bi...

Review: Ramen Dayo

I'll be honest, before going to Ramen Dayo the closest thing to ramen I've ever had would be a standard pot noodle or Koka noodles. I used to opt for a chicken and mushroom pot back at school lunch when the shops had sold out of roll and sausage, which was like gold-dust. Regardless, the pot noodle was still a decent bit of kit. I mind one freak back then used to drink the pots' juices first, then proceed to put the remaining contents onto a roll and munch on that. Anyway, the point is I've had mediocre/limited experiences with ramen. That is until now. Fraz (See Pic)  has suggested Ramen Dayo before but hes been swiftly rejected each time because of my ignorant pot-noodle-perception of ramen. This time, however, we were both feeling the effects of dry-mouths, a condition we refer to as cotton mouth. Who knows what causes it but we were both hungry and thirsty as a result. As you'd expect the idea of a hot broth began to appeal more and more. Went at around 16...
