Brum Yum Yum Underground

27th June saw the first of Brum Yum Yum Underground - A secret social street food event run by the 4 month old Brum Yum Yum. They took ten of Birmingham's loveliest street food vendors and brought them indoors to a secret location, only revealed 48 hours prior to the opening.

It turned out that the venue was DV8 nightclub in Birmingham City Centre, which at first we thought "whaaa?" but it turned out to be the perfect space for all the street foodies! With a DJ entertaining the diners, the DV8 bar open, and the Really Awesome Coffee van out back serving up hot drinks, it was time to sample a few of the meals on offer...

To start we tasted some delicious panipuri from the boys at Lasan Eatery, lovely little nibbles to start the night off (only 50p each too). We really want to go and try their Monday night Thali feast to try a few more Indian treats.

We couldn't resist the glorious spread on offer by The Deli at Edgbaston! Wow, it looked so delicious, and it was! One half of EatLoveBrum loves all things veggie...so we got a box full to the brim of roasted butternut squash, aubergine with pesto and mint, crunchy seaweed, roasted sweet potato with chilli (SO GOOD) and asparagus and green beans in garlic. All we need to say is MMMMM!

Next we spotted people walking around with giant hotdogs. They looked pretty impressive, so made a beeline! It wasn't until late in the evening that we discovered that these were also made by The Deli at Edgbaston - Next time we promise to try different places! We went for the ultimate - DOUBLE (yes that's right - there were 2 sausages in there!) chilli hot dog, with cheese, jalapeños and sour cream. Wow. It was mahoosive, and delicious from start to end. Also very messy to eat! Glad we had a table and a fork to devour it with...

After that we needed a break, you can imagine! But there was wonderful entertainment by Gypsy Jazz we especially liked their rendition of the Star Wars Cantina song! Were they hinting at something?

We couldn't resist the Bournville Waffle Company much longer, wow, they looked impressive, just go look at their webpage! We have seen these guys at Digbeth Dining Club before, but never had one. We always thought "They're too big, they look stodgy, couldn't eat one to myself". How wrong could someone be...?? They are so light and fluffy - the most perfect waffles we think we have ever had! Decided on Banoffee, but it was a very hard choice. We will be trying them all oh yes...

Overall it was an excellent night, the only thing we would say is the portions were too big! We wanted to try everything! Jabberwocky were there, love their menu of tasty toasties, Phat Pattys looked devine (congrats on your debut!), Ross & Ross had some amazing looking lamb on offer, and Swiirl Frozen Yoghurt - we wanted some so bad, but toooo full...You need to not eat all day for this event, you will want to try the lot! Next time...

Also wanted to say, we were wonderfully impressed with how tidy the whole bar was kept throughout the night - Bravo to the staff who would clear away plates and glasses as soon as they were empty...

Great night, and worth the fiver ticket price...Next one soon please Brum Yum Yum???
