The GBOAT is officially retiring.

(Hopefully burpple doesn't delete this)

I'm always abit annoyed when my favourite burpplers quit posting without explaining why. I feel like there's an obligation to your fans to explain why you stop, so I am going to do that if there's even a single person who's been following my posts

It's been a good run, but this app has been on the downhill since the new management took over. The app itself is getting worse and worse with each update, which shows a lack of care. The community is almost nonexistent now, and the new management doesn't seem to care at all about the opinion of the users, instead focusing their efforts solely on new cash grabs.

It's very sad because I started my foodie journey with burpple, when the food scene hasn't really exploded yet and rose to the top of the reviewers with them.

On the personal side, I'm moving to Edinburgh for studies and without a big presence here, I thought it's abit more pointless to review Edinburgh restaurants on burpple.

Nonetheless, to those who have read my reviews, thank you. And to all food lovers, happy eating and stay healthy

There's this particular edge+heat to it, which I imagine is from sake in the sauce, otherwise the chives that I didn't really enjoy

This was garlicky and pretty decent

A competent standard restaurant style

Idk what happened to the lamb curry the previous time but this was bomb as usual

The beef was ABIT stringy tho

Non alcoholic, it's a good enough rendition but very expensive although portion is somewhat big. Better to share

Prosciutto, cheese sauce, pistachio powder probably?

The cheese sauce was good. The crunchy crust was strong, but it's at the expense of having too much bite. The dough was overall alright

Prosciutto was ok, overall it's a pretty decent pizza even if slightly unusual

Very avg, and cold

No reservation, its disgusting cos their seating space is limited (it's fully seated on a weekday afternoon)

The rim was crunchy but it wasn't the whole exterior that's crunchy. Centre was eggy

It's a decent version, but not worth the risk of having no seats when it's such a frigging hot place with no common area w Aircon nearby

Can't rmb what I loved about it but this is quite a textbook blue, and quite blue it was (if you've never had blue you won't be able to accept)

4 year Gouda: Huge crystals, almost sandgrain-sized. It's a little bit diff from normal Gouda but again didn't rlly change my mind.

Surfin blu: the ale washing gives the exterior crazy complexity, each bite was a different note. Can clearly taste the stitching of the blue and the buffalo mozz, some parts are much stronger than others.

Abe rot: not much flavour, the texture is actl not bad but way too smelly, it's really really bad

A bit of crystals, flavour was good and for this type of cheese it's pretty good. But if you don't like this kind of dry semihard cheese like me it's not gg to change your mind.
