This was one of the several instant noodle pots I crammed in my suitcase and brought home from our recent visit to South Korea. I make no secret of the fact I think Korean instant ramyun is superior to any other instant noodles and this brand, Ottogi, rarely disappoints. So can you imagine my horror […] The post Ottogi mayo jjajang bokki noodle cup appeared first on Gingey Bites ..read more

As the picture implies, these Korean champong spicy noodles are seafood flavoured. Even if you mistake that sliced cuttlefish for red onion, the tasty little fella in the corner confirms that these are seafood flavoured. I’m a big fan of Nongshim, makers of my beloved Shin Ramyun so I had high hopes for this one, […] The post Nongshim Champong Spicy Noodles appeared first on Gingey Bites ..read more

Samyang kalgugsu instant noodles Samyang is a Korean brand and well know for their noodles and other food products. They’re probably best known for their Buldak range – super spicy chicken noodles which come in many flavour combos. They’ve not been featured on the blog yet but am sure at some point they’ll appear! Anyway, […] The post Samyang kalgugsu instant noodles appeared first on Gingey Bites ..read more

One month down, eleven to go. Frugal eats lie ahead… I’m sure that we’re not alone in feeling the pinch at the moment. I’m planning to get more creative in the kitchen and put frugal eats back into our meal plan. With an almost one year old, working four days a week rather than five […] The post A year of frugal eats lies ahead appeared first on Gingey Bites ..read more

Ok, I’m not going to lie – I was pretty scared when these whole pork cheeks (also known as pork jowl) arrived from Swaledale Butchers a few weeks back. For a start, they’re huge! Further, there is very little online on how to cook them, with the focus very much on the neater pork cheek […] The post Slow cooker sherry braised whole pork cheeks appeared first on Gingey Bites ..read more

Last month my mum and I took a weekend trip up to York. It’s one of her fave places and I wanted to treat her to something special. After a bit of research I booked Gray’s Court, a real hidden gem right in the centre of the city, and we were so impressed, I wanted […] The post Gray’s Court, York – a hidden hotel gem appeared first on Gingey Bites ..read more

Peppermint Crunch is such a throwback for me. My Nanna (who turns 90 in August) used to make it for my Dad when he was a kid and for me and my siblings when we were little too. I’d not had it for years but we were talking about it when I was back home […] The post Nanna’s Peppermint Crunch Squares appeared first on Gingey Bites ..read more

Over Easter, (yes, I know, that was a hell of a long time ago now and I’m only just posting…)  we headed down to Devon for four days and the highlight was our meal at The Crab Shack in Teignmouth. I knew it would be nice, having been recommended by several of my twitter followers […] The post The Crab Shack, Teignmouth appeared first on Gingey Bites ..read more
