Parmo-licious Feast
So, I was casually scrolling through my Insta. Not really one for reading the news, but I dig catching up on the ‘gram. Then, out of the blue, I stumble upon this post from BBC about some American dude named Kalani Ghost Hunter trying out Parmo Chicken in the UK.
And that’s how I found myself at this spot. I wouldn’t have even known about it if it wasn’t for BBC putting it on my radar. Funny how that works, right? Anyways, Manjaros Brick over on Brick Lane, it’s got this whole vibe going on – mixing up African and Caribbean flavors in a way that’s so fresh and so now.
Ambiance:
Upon stepping inside, Manjaros Brick Lane hits you with this vibe. Like, the place is popping with colors and modern decor. But, here’s the thing – despite all the vibrant hues, there’s this weird chill in the air. Like, it’s quiet, almost too quiet.
And the music? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly vibing with the whole colorful scene. It was like being at a club where everyone’s sitting in silence, waiting for something to happen.
Service:
It’s one of those family-style joints, no more than that.
Drink:
They’re all about those mocktails, keeping it classy but top-notch actually.
Price: £
Perfect for those who love a good meal without breaking the bank, and eat a lot!
What I Ordered:
Chicken Goujons with Sweet Chilli Sauce
Crispy Delight! That first bite, and you’re hit with that satisfying crunch of the crispy coating, revealing tender, juicy chicken underneath. The seasoning game? On point. Herbs and spices that just took it to the next level.
I was not entirely sold on the sweet chilli sauce – like, did it really need it? But forgot KFC, I’m all about that Manjaros life from now on!
*Mac & Cheese Balls
The crunch factor on the outside? Impeccable. It’s all crispy perfection, setting the stage for that creamy, indulgent goodness on the inside. I got that rich cheese wrapping around perfectly cooked macaroni, and I was being hugged by comfort food.
But here’s the real kicker – that buttery sauce. They cracked the code on creamy goodness. Every bite was just this explosion of flavor, hitting all the right spots.
I can’t stop thinking about it. That combo of crispy, creamy, and buttery? Comfort food game strong with this dish, for real.
Chicken Parmesan
Hold up, you live in the UK and haven’t heard about Parmo? Don’t stress, I was in the same boat until BBC put me on the game! So it’s a dish straight out of Middlesbrough, England, big deal in Teesside for takeaways. We’re talking breaded chicken or pork, smothered in white béchamel sauce and cheese, usually cheddar. Sounds like a heavyweight, right?
Now, peep this Chicken Parmesan – it was a visual feast. That golden-brown crust and all that bubbling cheese was a whole vibe. Definitely looks like it’s going to fill you up.
Then you bite. That chicken? Tender AF. And that layer of melted cheese? Straight-up magic, adding depth to every single bite. The sauce tied it all together, creating this blend of textures and tastes that’s next-level indulgence.
This meal is for those who don’t mess around with their food.
Grilled Chicken with Coleslaw
It’s got that tender juiciness and that smoky flavor, but the seasoning was on the spicy side. If you’re not about that spicy life, maybe go for the quarter size instead of the half size.
But the coleslaw. That’s where it’s at. It’s like this refreshing mix of cabbage, carrots, and other crunchy veggies that just hit differently. It’s the perfect contrast to the boldness of the grilled chicken. Trust me, you’re going to love it.
