Our Order:
Chicken Balls (Sweet Chilli Sauce) £6.95
Ocean Burger £7.50
Salt & Pepper Chips £2.75
£17.20
7.5/10
We decided to drop by Fusion as we were seeing David O'Doherty on Saturday night wanted to try something around the area. We found Fusion online and we're lured in by the Ocean Burger due to it's pink bun.
We really liked the atmosphere of the place as the rugby was on TV and it was really calm. The menu gave plenty of choice and I was stuck between the wings and chicken balls before settling on the chicken balls. In all honesty, I don't know what we were expecting taste wise, but the menu and the photo of the Ocean Burger we're enough for us.
Jed went with the Ocean Burger and I did have a bite but it really wasn't for me. Topped with Asian slaw & curried mayo, they were just flavours that didn't mix well with the tumeric salted battered fries. I didn't hear any complaints from Jed and he did demolish the thing so I can only assume it was me not liking so I'm really not sure if I'd recommend it or not.
For me, the chicken balls were good, but no better than your regular chinese take away and I feel like Jed and I could make better rice - it tasted like microwave rice.
The salt & pepper fries were a real plus though. We thought they were going to be chunky chips but they were the skinny fries and topped with plenty of salt & pepper, they were really good.
Overall, it was nothing more than University food. Good value for money and decent portion sizes but the taste wasn't something to bring you back for more.

We Quit

-
Well, long time, no see! You read it - we quit. After months and months of deliberation, we finally did it. We’re spending the next 7 months travelling round Asia and then we’re moving to CANADA! At this moment in time we’re gearing up for the adventure of a lifetime and we’re excited to take you with us! We’ve created an entire Instagram that is going to be dedicated to our travels and you can follow it on @otterstravels. We’ve been thinking long and hard about what we want our travel vlogs and IG to consist of and we think it’s worth getting excited about! We would love to hear from you guys about what you would be interested to see while we’re out and about too. Otters Kitchen will remain fully in tact and we will be incorporating that into our videos along side our everyday adventures. Edinburgh is going to be our first stop. We have a whole 6 days to make the most out of Fringe 2019 and this is where our vlog adventure will begin (if we remember and get use to picking a camer...

We had checked the menu on the Saturday and we were really excited to jump into it, especially after feeling the vibes as soon as we walked through the door. It wasn't too busy but you could feel the buzz. We struggled to settle on something for a while but my heart was telling me to go for the River Phoenix immediately purely for the Frazzles - I really wanted something different. The frazzles added a great texture to the burger, I just wanted more. It sounded like it was almost going to...

Our Order: Thighs, Blue Cheese Sauce, Salt & Pepper Chips £12.50 Double Mac £16 ( Two buttermilk chicken breasts, sandwiched with mac n cheese, crispy bacon, Dr Pepper BBQ and cheese sauces. Topped with two Dr Pepper BBQ wings.) Extra Buffalo Sauce £1 £29.50 9/10 After wandering round for about half an hour, looking for Almost Famous, we had no luck so we headed into Yard & Coop instead.  The place was filled to the brim and had a great atmosphere (and an ever better drinks menu). The variety of beers they offer is something and there was also a good few options for cocktails too. Both had nothing on the food menu though. Making a decision of something to eat was so hard as we both wanted everything on the menu, especially after seeing the food coming out of the kitchen. I was torn between trying the Dr Pepper sauce and the buffalo sauce so decided to go with the Double Mac with a side of buffalo because I'm greedy and refuse to regret not eating something. It was s...
