The Visit

It was time for me to go back to Swadish, and try some new dishes off the new menu.

Tonight’s visit I went with a close friend and her mum, and we were all looking forward to trying some of the food.

Starter

KOLHAPURI CHOPS £18.00
Scottish lamb chops, ginger, sesame, peppercorns, fennel, garam masala, mint chutney, pomegranate 

We decided to share the starter so there was plenty of room for the main course.

I have had chops here before, but this was a different style from my last visit and I loved them so I couldn’t wait to try them tonight.

I took a bite and this was cooked to perfection! the flavours were very good and I enjoyed every bite.

I was never really a lamb fan or chops fan till I got them from here and now I am converted.

If you are a chops fan I highly recommend you try them.

Main Course

PRAWN MALABAR £20.00
Whole jumbo king prawns, Shallots, garlic, curry leaves, tamarind, coconut milk

I wanted to try the lobster tonight, but I have no idea how to properly eat one and I didn’t want to be too messy tonight.

My next option was the Prawn Malabar as it sounded very good!

On arrival, this looked and smelled really really good and I couldn’t wait to dig in and try something new.

This was creamy, packed with lovely flavours and the king prawns were cooked perfectly.

I think this is my new favourite curry, as I loved the subtle coconut hints that were coming through the sauce and as you know I like that as I normally love a good korma.

I look forward to having this again at some point, but I will try another dish next visit.

Dessert

Forbidden Apple £10.50
Granny smith apple, dill, white chocolate mousse, apple liquor

I was lucky enough to have this not long after it was added to the menu, but at this point, I was a judge and didn’t post anything about it.

Tonight I wanted to have it again and take photos to show you what it was like.

Firstly the presentation on arrival is very cool, we all love that little bit of wow factor and this has that.

Next, when you crack this open you are given a lovely white chocolate mousse and everything together is mmmm as you get a great texture and flavours.

I love this as I have a sweet tooth and I can’t wait to have it again.

The Visit

On the 8th of April it was my birthday and I got some money, and I also needed some shirts so I decided to take a drive to Gretna Outlet and on my way back stop at Moffat for dinner.

The Dinner

I saw they did a tapas menu and thought yeah this sounded good and chose two items.

Stornoway Black Pudding Tattie Bravas £7.50

This sounded nice from the menu, so I had to order it.

On arrival this visually looked good, looked a good sized portion for a tapas and smelled really good.

I tried the black pudding and mm, perfectly cooked and Stornoway Black Pudding is always a win!

The tattie bravas was soo good! the flavour was amazing and both combined to to good!

I loved this and would have this again!

Roasted Butternut Squash Biryani Coconut Yogurt £6.00

I had been talking about Biryani’s recently and when I saw this had to get it and try this version.

On arrival this looked very nice, though I wasn’t sure about the crispy onions…but I would wait and see how it tasted.

This smelled so so good! I was very surprised and yes it tasted so good!

This was a really really tasty dish! I loved every mouthful and the flavours were so good!

Highly recommended if you visit!

The Scottish Deer Centre 2022 Visit : Review

The Scottish Deer Centre
Bow of Fife
Cupar , KY15 4NQ

Visit : 27-03-2022

The Visit

A few weeks back I took a drive to St Andrew’s and passed the Scottish Deer Centre.

Today’s visit I wanted to go and see some deer but before that, I stopped at Fife Zoo, which is a small but lovely zoo and you should check it out.

About The Scottish Deer Centre

The Scottish Deer Centre is a 55-acre zoological park near Cupar in Fife, Scotland. The attraction is set on the estate of Over Rankeilour, at the former Over Rankeilour Farm close to the hamlet of the Bow of Fife.

The Deer Centre

I had no idea what to expect and for me that was perfect, obviously going by the name I knew I would see deer but would there be anything else.

I spotted the map and saw there was a few other animals, and the sun was out so I knew I was going to have a nice walk about the centre.

I entered the park and took a right turn and came across the Bird of Prey section, and wow the birds that I could see (even in their enclosure) were very cool as I have never been this close to any of these before.

I got talking to one of the main guys who worked there and learned they do an experience, which is something I have always wanted to do so keep watching as I will be aiming to do this at some point this year.

I decided to start in the opposite direction and work around the centre close wise and I think this is the best way to do this.

The deer I came across were all amazing and beautiful to see, some were noisier than others and came up to the fence very close to me and others.

Overall

I won’t show too much or say too much as it’s worth a visit! for kids and big kids like me.

I didn’t know that there were so many types of deer and also I saw a few other animals like a bear and wildcat which was very cool

As I said I will be aiming to try the Bird of Prey experience so keep watching, but as I said do check out here and also Fife Zoo as doing both in one day is a great day out.
