Panama Hatty's

This blogpost is soooo late, but hey ho.

For my birthday, we fancied a change in scenery and went to a restaurant that we'd never been to before called Panama Hatty's, and today I am going to be sharing with you the snaps that I took!

The interior was divine, swimming with warm lighting in a sea of chandeliers.

It had it's little quirks to, like these chairs!

We got soft drinks and a bottle of rosé to share whilst we waited for our starters.

Then it was time for starters!

My mum had a mushroom and stilton bake.

My sister had salt and pepper chicken wings which she loved.

I had Laredo Crunchy Chicken. This was ok at first but it started to become too aromatic and strong in my mouth. It was basically chicken with lemongrass in it, in breadcrumbs.

The presentation was lovely, I love the cute wooden boards!

Mains

My mum had Chicken Pago Pago which is described as breast supreme cooked in white wine, cream, prawns, pineapple and paprika, with baby potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

Georgia had the classic house burger, which looked pretty good!

I had the Spicy Chicken Papousas which is described as 'Breast fillet with smoked Chipotle in a flour tortilla topped with melted mozzarella, Latina rice and sour cream'

This came and it was absolutely massive, in two dishes! I couldn't eat it all, no chance.

The wrap was absolutely gorgeous.

Now my personal favourite, dessert.

Mum had trifle which I don't like, but she said it was lovely.

My sister had chocolate fudge cake which looked amazing.

I had a cinnamon waffle with ice cream, because cinnamon is my absolute favourite. I cannot even begin to explain how good this waffle was.

Overall, Panama Hattie's was good. I probably wouldn't return, but for a one off it was great, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Have you ever been to a Panama Hatty's?

Thanks for reading, I love you!

My 17th Birthday

It was my 17th birthday yesterday, and I took some lovely photos after sixth form when Jess and Abbie came over, and I wanted to share some of them with you!

We had to wake up early this morning and I think it is fair to say that this was something my sister could not cope with too well.

When we all arrived at my house, my Mum showed me the beautiful cake she had made me, and of course, I had to have a cheesy picture with it because, why not?

Two princesses

The chocolate cake my Mum made was beautiful, and sprayed gold with edible paint around the edges.

Pushing my hair back because I came SO close to getting my hair caught in the flames.

My sister is quite the little photographer!

Mum kindly put together bits of buffet food...

And then it was time for...

!!!!!!!!

I saw this game advertised when watching I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here on Sunday night, and I  knew that we just had to play it on my birthday.

It is basically like a game of snakes and ladders...

Except for when you go up a ladder you get nice food...

Marshmallows

Chocolate Brownies

And when you go down a snake, you get something gross...

Monkey vomit, ant agonise and toad spawn sauces

Snot Balls: Sour Green Cream Profiteroles

Witchetty grubs: some strange concoction that I can only remember consisting of spinach and garlic powder... 

Wiggly worms: Textured fish/egg whites, dyed with squid ink

Jess gave her best look of disapproval.

Jess was the first to go down a snake, leaving us all on the edge of our seats.

She chose a wiggly worm...

And then it was my sister, Georgia, who went for a witchetty grub...

She spat it out into a bowl which was one of the most disgusting things I have ever witnessed; "It looks like Shrek has been blended".

Jess went again and chose the toad spawn.

And then, me...

I had two goes in a row :( The first, the wiggly worm, the second, Ant Agonise sauce.

The wiggly worm tasted of sour play dough, and the texture was vile and it felt almost alive in your mouth.

The Ant Agonise sause literally tasted of gone off barbecue sauce with bits in, with the texture of jelly. This lingered in my mouth and throat for the longest time and brought me to tears!

Abbie and my Mum both won without having to take any forfeits, so they both took one for the team. Abbie went for the snot ball.

Traumatised

My Mum was brave and tried both the witchetty grubs and the snot ball.

She described the snot ball as similar to what you'd imagine rotten yoghurt to taste like, and the witchetty grub was impossible to swallow.

Begging for mercy

 I had such a great birthday and I'm so grateful to all of my family and friends for making it so special. Happy Birthday to anybody else reading that just so happens to share a birthday with me! Please like and follow me on bloglovin' to stay updated on all of my posts! Thanks for reading,
