Det har været dejligt at have lidt fri for opskrifter og madlavning. Jeg lover at det ikke varer så længe med opskrifterne men idag starter jeg med at fortælle jer om vores London tur her for 2 uger siden. Hvis I har fulgt med i bloggen ved I at jeg har været I London et par gange tidligere med min datter. I vil også vide at udover at se byen, har det at prøve forskellige 2- 3 afternoon teas været en favorit beskæftigelse. Denne gang valgte vi kun at prøve en afternoon tea og istedet prøve forskellige restauranter. I London er udbudet af halal restauranter stor og vi ville prøve noget som man ikke kunne få i Danmark. Bare roligt vi fik vores te, kaffe og varm chokolade pauser. Scroll ned for at se nogle af de steder vi anbefaler for de varme drikke, kager og læs om vores afternoon tea oplevelse

It has been nice and relaxing to have some time off from recipe writing. I promise I wil return soon with recipes, but let me tell you about my London trip 2 weeks ago. If you have been fallowing my blog, you wil know I have been in London before with my daughter. You will also know that beside sightseeing, one of our favorite thing to do is to try at least 2-3 afternoon teas. This time we choose only to try 1 Afternoon as we wanted to try delicious food from the huge selection of halal restaurants there is in London. Dont worry we did get our tea, coffe and hot chocolate breaks. Scroll down to see some of the place we recommend for hot beverages, tea breakes and cakes. Also scroll down the page to read about our afternoon tea at the Langham.
Maitre Choux : Kaffe og bageri som laver de smukkeste, kunstfærdige eclaire. For muslimer som os er der 3 slags eclaire som ikke indholder gelatine eller alkohol. Vi prøvede "Hazelnut & Milk Chocolate Tressure" og "Paris-Brest". Sidste gang prøvede vi "Arabica Coffe" og det bliver nok vores favorit.
Maitre Choux : A little pastrie place, where you can enjoy masterpieces of beautiful and delicious eclaires. If you are mulsim, then there are 3 kind of eclaires without alcohol and geletine. We tried "Hazelnut & Milk Chocolate Tressure" and Paris- Brest. Last time we tried "Arabica Coffe" wich is our favorite.
Følgende to anbefalinger er angående varm chokolade/kakao. Nr 1, "Ube Hot Coco" fra Mamasons Dirty Ice cream. Jeg havde set så mange anbefalinger og billeder på Instagram at det skulle vi bare prøve da vi var på tur i Camden town. Ube er en slags lilla yam og jeg har aldrig prøvet ube før og ved heller ikke hvordan den ser ud. Den varme ube og hvid chokolade kakao var lækker og cremet. Det er svært at beskrive smagen, den havde en hint af nød. Det er en lille sted med venlig betjening, man føler sig meget velkommen.
Fallowing two recommendations are concerning hot chocolate Nr.1 is "Ube Hot Coco" from Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream. I had seen so many recommendations and photo on instagram that we had to try this coco when wisiting Camden town. I have never tried Ube before and nor do I know how it looks like. Ube is kind of a purple yam and used in desserts. It is diificult to describe its flavour, but it has nutty taste to it. The ube & white chocolate coco was creamy and delicious. The service is pleasent and welcoming,
Nr 2 er lækker varm chokolade med hasselnød fra Snowflake, som vi tilfældig fandt da vi gik tur i Soho.
Nr 2 is a yummy luxery hot chocolate with hazzlenut from Snowflake. We just found the shop when we were walking in Soho.
Pamban Chai and Coffe House: Jeg havde valgte dette sted fordi jeg ville prøve deres smukke falooda, selvfølgelig skulle vi have noget varmt og fik prøvet deres "Chai flight for one" som bestod af en masala chai, en karak chai og en safran karak chai. Karak kan oversættes som stærk. Selv om deres te ikke var karak, ihvertfald ikke nok for mig kunne jeg lide smagen af safran i teen.
Pamban Chai and Coffe House: I choose this chai and coffe house because of their beautiful falooda, as it was cold and ofcourse we had to have something hot too. "Chai flight for one" I choose masala chai, karak chai and saffron karak chai. You can translate karak as strong. These teas were not karak, well not enough for mý taste but I liked the saffron infused tea.
Peggy Porchen Palour : hvem ville ikke have lyst til at drikke smuk varm kakao og en smuk cappucino i en ligeså smuk dekoret og hyggeligt pastel lyserød palour.
Peggy Porchen Palour : who would´nt try a beautiful hot coco and a beautiful cappucino in a equally beautiful decorated and cozy pastel pink palour.
Palm Court, The Langham: Afternoon tea i den smukke Palm Court på The Langham hotel var en dejlige fødseldags overraskelse til mig fra min datter mashallah. Sikken en fornøjelse at nyde afternoon tea arrangement i så smukke omgivelser med behageligt og opmærksom betjening. Halal menuen som min datter havde valgt til os bestod faktisk af vegetar sandwich, en mini laks mundbid og en brioche bolle med ande æg. Sandwichene bestod af en agurke sandwich, en lækker oste sandwich og en grillet peberfrugt sandwich som var min favorit. Brioche bollen var lækker men ande æg var ikke lige mig. Jeg har aldrig prøvet ande æg og jeg kunne ikke lide smagen. Istedet for champagne fik vi serveret en lækker æble og lemon mocktail.
Palm Court, The Langham: Afternoon tea in the beautiful Palm Court at the Langham Hotel was a birthday surprize for me from my loving daughter, mashallah. What delight it was to enjoy the afternoon tea in such a beautifull setting with very attentive and pleasent service.
The halal menue wich my daughter had ordered for os was actually a vegatarian option with a little open faced salmon bite. Cucumber sandwich, delicious cheese sandwich and my favorite the grilled pepper sandwich. The salmon bite was also delicious and then there was the brioche bun with duck egg, the broche bun was delicious and fluffy but the duck egg was not for me, I never had duck egg and I did´nt like the taste. Instead of champaigne we had refreshing apple and lime mocktails.
At the end we were served 4 beautiful and scrumptious pastries. And a deliciuos birthday cupcake with the courtesy of the restaruant. Prior to the pastries we were ofcourse served withfluffybuttery scones, these must be some of the best scones I have tasted.
