"I said maybe , You're gonna be the one who saves me ? And after all, You're my wonderwall!!!" - Excellent, you've just sang your lungs out to the last song on the dance floor at the nightclub, had a damn good night out and you're ready for an easy taxi ride home and a good kip.
But hang on, it's 3am in the morning, you've had a few beers and Something’s holding you back. Something’s stopping you getting that taxi... that something is hunger! For some reason even though you had a good tea, nice dinner and even a sneaky sandwich before leaving for your night out, you still need something to eat.
My problem is, where do you go? I can really only write about my experience in Leicester, as this is the place I've tried out the most eateries. But I'll take a damn good guess it's the same in most cities!
The choice here is McDonalds - you know what you get, but surely you can do better.
TJs - Lets face it, nothing special here - it's quick but probably luke warm and pretty greasy.
USA chicken - one of my personal faves as it has a good 6 spicy chicken wings and chips for £2.50... but does it make me content... no!
So last Friday armed with this knowledge I am easily persuaded to try out a kebab shop I'd not tried before... Alivels.
Upon entry I'm not over impressed by the florescent tube strip lighting that makes no food look any good. But obviously things can still be rescued, there are a few people milling about, it's actually quite busy, surely all these people cant be wrong?
It took a little while to get served but nothing too bad. I order cheesy chips and a burger, which lets face it... can't really go that wrong, can it?
3 mins later a decent enough looking burger and chips land infront of me. You read correctly. Burger and chips - minus the cheese.
A fair enough honest mistake... it's busy, the majority of my meal is correct, it's just missing that final element of the cheese.
Obviously this is easily remedied. A quick sprinkle of grated cheese on top... done. Even better they could possibly exceed my expectations and melt the cheese slightly on my chips.
So did this happen? Oh no. This is what happened!!!
That's right... a slice of processed cheese slapped on top of those chips. Unbelievable
The search continues. Alivels... do one!
