November 29th, 2010 Category: Le Budget (£) At the end of the month, when I am desperately waiting to get paid, I tend to make good use of my Taste London Card. One of these monthly returning occasions brought me to Raffaello, a newish Italian restaurant in Southwark, which is already pretty cheap and you get 50% off food when in possession of a Taste London card. November 28th, 2010 Category: Le Budget (£) It’s cheap. That’s about the only positive thing I can say about TukTuk Noodle Bar in Soho. As the name promises it serves all kinds of Asian noodle dishes. I am hardly ever in Central London during the week at lunch time and why oh why did I not just queue at Koya? Well, too late for regrets, just don’t make the same mistake as me and do keep away from this restaurant. November 21st, 2010 Category: Bistro (££) The good thing about food blogging I find is not only that fact that I can eat out all the time and call it research, but also that I have met lovely and interesting people through it. So I caught up with my favourite blogging friends LoveLeluu and The Happiness Project London at Dishoom. All three of us wanted to try this so called ‘Bombay cafe’ which opened earlier this year in Covent Garden as we were possibly the only people left in London who had never been there before. November 18th, 2010 Category: Bistro (££) Goldfish City might have a rather funny name for a restaurant but it serves surprisingly delicious, non-greasy Chinese food. Why surprising? Chinese is the cuisine I have been probably the most unlucky with over the past years and only recently I have discovered a range of Chinese restaurants where I actually LIKE the food. Maybe I finally broke the Bad Chinese Food in London spell? November 16th, 2010 Category: Bistro I was so excited to learn that a new, decently priced gastro pub had opened South of Tower Bridge, about 10 min from where I live. And I was even more pleased when I read the review by Jay Rayner who really liked the food there. Now I finally made it to The Draft House and I have to disagree with good old Jay as I found the whole experience rather disappointing. November 13th, 2010 Are you looking for a new job? I might have just the right one for you. Have you considered a career in Chocolate Tasting? Micah Carr-Hill, Head of Taste at Green & Black Chocolates, is looking for a Taste Assistant in a nationwide campaign. You could be eating chocolate all day and getting paid for it… sounds awful doesn’t it?
November 12th, 2010 Category: Bistro (££) Once in a while you come across a place you don’t really want to write up and Vinoteca is one of them. Why? Because it is a little gem and it’s already difficult enough to get a table with their no booking policy. But I wouldn’t have found it if it hadn’t popped up in several ‘my favourite London restaurants‘ lists of trusted food bloggers (Gourmet Chick, Londonelicious ) and I shall now also be a good and altruistic person for a change and share it with you too. November 9th, 2010 Category: Bistro (££) There is just something about Sichuan cuisine that I love. I don’t know if it is the chili, the numbing spiciness of the Sichuan peppers, the liberal use of garlic and oil or the combination of all of these with other ingredients I can’t pinpoint. Feeding my addiction, there is an increasing number of good Sichuan restaurants in London, such as Chili Cool, Ba Shan and Empress of Sichuan. The latter is located in the heart of Chinatown and – for Chinatown standards – its interior is rather posh. I have been wanting to go there forever, and after I read Catty’s mouthwatering review on it, there was no holding me back. I followed some of her recommendations, which turned out to be delicious. November 6th, 2010 Category: Le Budget (£) I was meeting lovely LoveLeluu for dinner and as we were both rather broke we ended up at Sedap, a little Malaysian restaurant characterised by small prices and equally tiny portions. The restaurant is rather basic but nice enough for a quick bite to eat.
We started with Pork Dumpling (3.80), which were entirely indistinct and I would not order again. The Kerabu Vegetable Salad (4.20) however was delicious. Slivers of cucumber in a fresh and zesty dressing were beutifully complemented by fresh mint and just a hint of chilli. |
