Today I tried the Perfect Pear burger from Grill'd: Grilled chicken breast, poached pears, fig paste, avocado, Spanish onion, rocket & shaved parmesan. I knew it was going to be a sweet burger; I didn't expect it to be quite this sweet. Virtually all the sweetness came from the fig paste, which was the first layer on top of the bun. It wasn't so bad if I ate it upside down, but I ended up scraping half of it off anyway. I still prefer savoury and I liked...

Today will probably be the last of the restaurant vouchers we're using out of the 2011-2012 Entertainment Book. I haven't been to Schnitz before, so it was a nice surprise to find out I could substitute the Schnitz for non-crumbed chicken fillets. Both A2 and I chose the same thing: a Vegged Out Wrap - Moroccan spiced non-crumbed chicken fillets with roasted vegetables, Spanish onion and tzatziki. I forgot to take a photo of the inside of the wrap, which looked a lot more appetising than the photo I...
