It was only through the power of social media that I became aware of the existence of De Corso’s. It’s a local suburban pizza bar within a small complex in Tranmere. With dine in specials 3 nights a week, we chose to visit on a Thursday night where they had “all you can eat” traditional…

Patisserie Jin – Revisit

It’s been 18 months since my last visit to Patisserie Jin. We just had an unsatisfying meal at a nearby restaurant, and thought we would fill ourselves up by paying this place a visit. A glance of the menu indicated nothing much had changed in terms of their dessert offerings. There’s the fondant, apple tartin,…
