About Me

Nicki Chan-Lam
Hello! My name is Nicki, a little person (5 foot 1 at a push!) with a big appetite! I moved to London a few years ago, and have discovered a real passion for both food and fitness. I love cooking, baking and discovering new places to eat good food and drink good coffee!

Incredible food as always @theabbeystalbans 😍😍 can’t beat a bloody good Sunday roast, and it was so lovely to be able to surprise my in laws and treat them to a three course meal - they were so happy which made my day after a few too many tears from me this morning 🙊😂 Having a chilled one tonight - I did want to try and cook as I never have time during the week but I didn’t manage to squeeze in food shop and it’s too hot to cook anyway imo 🙊 so plan B is oven pizza, dessert bowl & chill 🙃
Posting food whilst waiting for food - story of my life 😂🙃close up of one of yesterday’s doughnuts which were as bright & beautiful as the weather 😍 ruined by my ugly nail 🙃 ngl I’m the worst girl ever - if I spend more than 5 minutes getting ready I’ve made an effort, and hair/makeup/nails are all things I just cannot be bothered with if I’m being honest. But that just leaves more time for eating right!?😂🤷🏻‍♀️ 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩 Ngl I should have had the most wonderful morning so far - breakfast and cake and I’m picking up my inlaws now to take them out for lunch, but somehow I’ve also managed to spend most of this morning in tears.. it’s my dad’s birthday and since my parents are coming down next weekend (and ive planned a whole weekend of meals/treats for my dad) I didn’t actually post anything for him like I usually would. I absolutely love doing thoughtful things for people but often feel like my dad doesn’t care/isn’t bothered about that kind of stuff and he’d far rather be taken out for meals at lovely London restaurants but my mum made me feel so horrendously guilty for not sending anything that I just felt truly awful - I don’t like many things about myself but I do pride myself on the fact that I always try to be kind, caring and put everyone before myself so I literally feel like the most horrendous person. Anyway the most random and pointless of rambles whilst I wait at the train station 😂 but I felt like I needed to word vomit 😂🙄 now time to stop being an idiot and spend the rest of my Sunday doing what I truly do best - eat 🙄😂
You know brunch is gona be awesome when @ishouldstartlifting is involved 😜😍 fried chicken waffles, smoked salmon hollandaise crumpets, beef short rib tater tots, epic breakfast fries & a gloriously thick pancake with maple syrup & blueberries @dirtyboneslondon .. the best food and the best company (someone else who shares my utter disgust for food waste 🙌🏼😏) #breakfastlondon
When you meet someone who’s just as awesome as the food they post 😏🙌🏼🙌🏼 Brunch, epic doughnuts and all the chat (including laughing at the morons who ask if we “eat what we post” - what the hell else would we do with it!? 🤣🤣🤣) with @ishouldstartlifting earlier today 🙌🏼🙌🏼😍 Gu you’re an absolute legend - so good to finally meet you and thanks for a perfect morning .. can’t wait for next time 😄🍩🍫🍪 and thanks for the blueberry recommendation - never a flavour I’d usually go for but it was 🔥😍 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩 Had a lovely (albeit brief 🙊) catch up with some friends and been spoilt to pieces by my in laws this afternoon (they’re absolute feeders and I love it 🙊😍) and we’re heading for drinks and dinner at a lovely pub now.. talk about a perfect Saturday 🙈 Hope you’re all having a good one! 💜
When you walk to Liverpool St from Shoreditch just so your friends decide they want to go to Camden (northern line 😂🙄) worth it though 😏 Salted caramel ice cream, cookies & a mountain of grilled white chocolate .. what more could you want!?
Saturday starting strong AF (not without several delayed/cancelled trains as always though 😏🙄) with the infamous fluffy ricotta hot cakes drowned in syrup with banana and a slab of honeycomb butter @grangerandco 😍🤤🤤 Now on my way to meet @ishouldstartlifting for brunch 😄🙃 #breakfastlondon
Nope.. not sick of chocolate despite a glorious tray of K&C brownies in the office today .. 🙊 What Friday evening dreams are made of @saiddal1923 😜🍫 and yes I’ll have dessert before dinner (and again after 😂😏) coz that’s one of the only positives about being an adult, am I right or am I right !?😂🙃
Who else is an absolute #chocoholic !? 🙊😍 I’m not usually one to post specific chocolates as I have too many favourites but the pick & mix bag of Venchi I got were an absolute dreaaaam 😍🤤 this was their creme brûlée, although admittedly I’m not sure where the creme brûlée is meant to come from as the filling was just caramel but it was heavenly nonetheless 🙈 I’m a huge fan of @venchi1878 @neuhauschocolates and @artisan_du_chocolat for fancy chocolates when I’m feeling 🤑, @hotelchocolat for me is by far the best high street store but for everyday chocolates (which I need at the rate I go through them 😂🙈) I’d probably have to choose Galaxy, Boost and Kit Kat chunky (ok and anything malteser too 😂🙈). Basically I love all chocolate whether it’s £3 or 3p a bite 🙊😍 what are your favourites!? 😄👇🏼
Dessert spread of dreams @ASKitalian 😍 swipe for a close up of my favourite - I know we all hate the M word but just look at itttttt 😍🤤 pistachio & olive oil cake with vanilla gelato.. the dream 🙊😍
