The Cornish Pasty | Food Review
A taste of Cornwall
We had three days to enjoy Cornwall as much as possible. Bearing in mind we had an extra long journey, all I could think about was the first hot meal. The first thing I wanted to do was try the local dish… An authentic Cornish Pasty.
Trying to keep our costs low, we had ‘room only’ and bought lots of food and snacks from home, so when Saturday Morning came, we were already stuffed with breakfast food, and snacks (like croissants, fruits, and brioche) that we had brought for our short stay.
A little later, we attempted to have a Cornish Pasty for lunch. We were so over-occupied with trails, beach visits, and hiking spots, time passed by so quickly, it was time for dinner.
The bakeries were closed so we decided to go for Fish and Chips for Dinner. We found a 5* rated Fish and Chip shop and they were quite cheap. The Fish and Chips were absolutely delicious.
Sunday morning came really quickly and it was almost time for us to head back home.
The Cornish Pasty
We had dozens of bakeries to choose from, or so we thought… Many of the bakeries had a late opening time on Sunday, so we were lucky our chosen bakery was open. Among the few, we thought we had ‘Women Bakery’, ‘The Cornish Pasty’, ‘Oggy Oggy’ ‘Mom’s Pasties’ and ‘Pauline’s’, but only ‘The Cornish Pasty’ was open. Luckily this was the bakery we decided on the day before.
We had to wait 45 minutes for our Cornish Pasty to be baked fresh so we sat in Costa, had a coffee and waited! It was an absolute winner to say the least. A real traditional Cornish pasty, much like I’ve tasted before, as it was my second time in Cornwall. As the large chunks of potato, chopped onion and cuts of beef hit the roof of my mouth, I was ready to extend my weekend all over again!
Overall, my experience of Cornwall was absolutely breathtaking and restful. Although I only spent a few small days there, the people were friendly and warm. I felt safe and comfortable, and I look forward to returning.

- UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE | FORT JESUS, MOMBASA
Although I planned my trip to Kenya months in advance, Fort Jesus was a place I squeezed into my itinerary. I looked for things to do in Kenya when I was certain I was going, but I wasn’t too fussed if I made it to Fort Jesus or not because it wasn’t on my bucket… - KENYA AIRWAYS | FLIGHT AND AIRLINE REVIEW
I was so excited to fly with Kenya Airways as I hadn’t flown with them before and I knew they were a popular choice among travellers travelling to East Africa. Flight prices from Nairobi to Mombasa via the Kenya Airways website were proving to be more expensive, so I decided to book through Booking.com as… - SHIMBA HILLS LODGE| RESTAURANT AND FOOD REVIEW
After a 5km hike there and back from Sheldrick Falls, some of us were in dire need of some food. We were awakended and refreshed by the waterfalls, and most of us were ready to eat. Our short safari trip included a three course meal at Shimba Hills restaurant. We were seated upstairs overlooking the…
