Durham Day Trip

Hi my fellow foodies, I hope that you’re all well and eating good

I’ve decided to post fortnightly, as I feel that this works best for my blog but fear not, the food reviews will be equally as good

So, as the title says, I spent the day in Durham last week when it was sunny for once

I really wanted to try the OiSaki Kitchen as I’d seen a lot of Insta posts of the food, so I had to go and see for myself if it lives up to the hype

It’s so easy to find, as its just by the river in the city centre. Theres signs outside too, as you have to go down a set of steps to get there

The doorway was carefully blocked off (safety first!) and the lovely lady came to take our order, once we had looked at all the lush meals they offered. They also offer cocktails which looked nice and refreshing

After trying to decide what I wanted, I caved and went for the classic Katsu Curry, as it’s one of my favourite curry dishes

Also, as I’ve had a lot of them, I would know if OisaKi’s is up there with the best ones I’ve had before

It turns out that it was just as good as I had heard. There was plenty of the breaded chicken, which was tender but had a little crunch

Surprisingly, I found that there was enough Katsu sauce to last and coat all of the rice underneath, result! I could drink that sauce as I love it so much, so I was pleased that there was enough to go round

The carrots and green beans were a nice way to add a pop of colour to what is a very beige dish. I suppose it makes a bowl full of sticky white rice feel somewhat healthy

For £7 a bowl, it was very filling and generous with the portion size. I would go again and try their honey chili chicken, as that looks outstanding too!

We bought a cheap but tasty bottle of white wine to wash the Katsu down with. It was a sunny day afterall so why not have a little tipple

For some reason, I always think that food tastes better outside, so that’s why the curry was the perfect takeaway option for that day. I had a lovely time chilling on the grass with good company and most importantly, good food

I hope that you’ve enjoyed this post and I hope that I’ve tempted you to visit OisaKi Kitchen to try a Katsu Curry sometime soon

Stay tuned for the next post where I will review my first resturant meal since lockdown…exciting right?
