The Lion King is now screening in 3D and I convinced my bf to take me as we had free movie ticket. I love reliving childhood memories and yes, I did cry during the movie. Just once! We decided to eat around the Morley complex since I don’t go there often and I found two great eats.

Golden Chicks

Golden Chicks, only opened three months ago, is the perfect place for a snack or meal of chicken wing goodness. This brilliant korean concept is simple. You choose either fried or roast chicken and then choose a flavour from original, sweet chilli or soy.

Golden Chicks Fried Sweet Chilli Chicken Wings $18.50 (Regular)

Very golden and finger lickin’ good. The sauce was out of this world. A cross breed between sweet and sour chilli and singapore sauce. Sprinkled with crunchy nuts. The chicken pieces include either wings or drumsticks.

Also include with their meals, if you eat there, is a bucket for the chicken bones and towelettes. How thoughtful.

Golden Chicks Roasted Soy Chicken $9.50 (small)

The roasted chicken had a more smokey taste and the sweet soy went swimmingly with them.

Both fried and roast chicken are marinated for 12hours and they only use 100% canola oil.

Golden Chicks Small Salad $2.50

Other sides include wedges and tornado potato. The salad was refreshing and the dressing was really yummy.

Golden Chicks own Towelettes

Yes, you will end up needing these.

They deliver, accept text message orders and have party packs. From the reviews I have read about this place, anyone who tries it ends up returning and so will I.

Nic’s Shak

The entrance of the Nic’s Shak is bright and colourful. Three guesses what they sell?

Nic’s Shak Interior

Nic’s reminds me on an old school burger bar and feels real homey.

Nic’s Shak Menu

mmm Free sauces… more then one!

Nic’s Woodfired Pizza Menu

If you ask the owner nicely he will do a half n half pizza for you.

Nic’s Shak Drinks Menu

Yes, you saw right. You can add an egg in your milkshake. When I asked the owner how many people have actually tried it, he said one. Apparently back in the day it was quite popular for people who want extra protein.

Nic’s Shak The Shak Burger $13.95

Homemade giant beef patty with bacon, egg, cheese, mushrooms, and fried onions with veggies. The bun was so soft and soaked up all the juiciness of the burger patty. The patty was absolutely delicious. Beefy, herby and did I mention juicy?

Nic’s Woodfired Pizza $13

Half n half. Garlic Prawns and The Shak Pizza. Bacon, ham, cacciatore, sausage, red onions, olives, mushrooms, tomato, bocconcini, cheese.

The Shak Woodfired Pizza

The Shak half of the pizza packed lots of meaty flavours and the red onion was a nice change.

Garlic Prawns Woodfired Pizza

Bursty garlic-y prawns. Complimented by tangy tomato sauce.

Nic’s Shak Strawberry Milkshake $4.25, $0.50 extra from malt

Yummy. Perfect with the burger.

It’s been a while since my regular posting, I’ve been super busy with a great new job. I now have a new area to venture out for food.

I use to love going out to eat tacos and then ending my night with some kind of pastry like waffles or churros. Today, I’d like to share with you the easiest churro recipe, within 20mins you have an crowd pleasing favourite and on top of that, you may never go out to buy churros again.

We had Foodie Cravings and burger boy over for dinner and the night started out with a display of MYO tacos.

Homemade Shredded Beef Tacos

I made shredded beef tacos in the slow cooker and should have taken more photos!

The condiments include cheese, diced tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and choice of either soft or hard shell tacos.

Burger boy even graced us with his new guacamole making skills learned from Crust.

Homemade Churros with Melted Chocolate and Strawberries

The four of us ended up eating this whole plate of crispy goodness.

Churro Recipe

Recipe adapted from Allrecipes

1 cup water

2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup all-purpose flour

approx. 4 cups of oil, enough for frying

1/2 cup white sugar, or to taste

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A block of your favourite meltable chocolate optional

Fresh Strawberries optional

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.

2. Let the dough rest for about 15mins in the fridge so it’s easier to pipe.

3. Heat oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

4. Add one third of the dough into a piping bag*, pipe strips of dough and have them lined up ready for deep frying. Repeat for the other two thirds of the dough.

5. Add one strip at a time to avoid sticking and fry until golden, drain on paper towels.

6. Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture.

7. Melt chocolate and cut up the strawberries. Serve with the churros hot.

*I use the disposable piping bags in the baking section of the supermarket. For around $3.00 you can buy the Multix brand which includes 5 bags, 4 nozzles and coupler. I use the star nozzle with the eight points for a more crispy edge.

Piped Churros ready for deep frying

The dough ends up feeling like Play-Doh and it’s very easy to work with. I use rice bran oil which does not change the taste and is healthier for you.
