March 30th, 2012  Spaghetti, Clams, Chili Garlic - starter portion (7)
Category: Bistro (££) I enjoyed Market Cafe, a bar/restaurant on the corner of fashionably edgy Broadway Market in Hackney. It’s buzzing, it’s low key, it’s reasonably priced and I thought the food was nice. In parts entire experience seemed a bit improvised and it was overall not faultless – possibly due to the fact that Market Cafe has only opened a couple of months ago. March 28th, 2012  Malaysian Style Nasi Goreng (6.50)
 Category: Le Budget (£) C+R Cafe is very hard to find, particularly when you use google maps on your smart phone which deviously sends you somewhere about 150 metres away in the middle of a block of house  and when you are terribly hungover at the same time.  After running in circles for a considerable amount of time, I finally found C+R Cafe, tucked away in a tiny alleyway on the Western corner of Chinatown.  I met my equally hungover friend there to indulge in some Malaysian food to soak up all that was left from our heavy partying the night before. March 27th, 2012  Roasted butternut squash with cardamom and nigella seeds Butternut squash, the quintessential winter vegetable,  is strictly speaking in season only from November to December.  I love it all year around and for me it works in warm comforting winter soups, stews and curries as well as in summary and light salads.

 Charleston My recent travel through the Deep South brought me to the charming Old South town Charleston, the second biggest city of South Carolina.  Charleston is just very pretty.  Surrounded by the Atlantic ocean on three sides, it boasts of historic houses with stunning colonial architecture and century old mansions, separated by cobblestone road, beautiful churches and mature trees decorated by Spanish moss.  Historic Mansions in Charleston March 18th, 2012  Fried Green Tomatoes @Husk The “Holy City” Charleston in Southern Carolina is a rising star as a tourist destination.  It has, for the first time, won the Conde Nast Readers’ Choice Award for the best city in the US, pushing funky San Francisco from the top.  Spanish Moss @Charleston That by itself would not pose enough justification for me to visit Charleston, however there is the food… March 17th, 2012 Guess what arrived for me in the post today?
As I have eaten last year’s Easter treat from Hotel Chocolate all by myself (shame on me!), I shall be generous this year (and nice to my waistline) and give it to one of you, my lovely readers.  As I have so many loyal followers from my native Austria, this will be an all European competition. March 15th, 2012  Sardines on Toast @Bistro du Vin Category: Brasserie (£££)
My dinner at Bistro du Vin has been a largely unpleasant experience and the food could be summarised with the two words “Dry” and “Bland“.  On top of this, the service personnel was truly annoying (such as 3 waiters  asking the same question within the space of 2 minutes and fake friendliness that seemed very insincere) and a waiting time of 45 minutes for the starter of the pre-theatre menu. March 13th, 2012  Beef Bulgogi @BiBimBap (6.95)
Category: Budget (£) Bibimbap is not only the famous Korean national dish, but also the name of a small Korean eatery in the midst of Soho.  It is one of the places that, once discovered, you will keep coming back to for your quick, cheap, tasty and filling Korean fix. March 1st, 2012  Pilaf Rice A few days ago I read this post about how to make Pilaf rice on Hungry and frozen, a New Zealand food blog that I follow.  It sounded so easy and so delicious that I immediately attempted my version of this Persian classic.  I have made it 3 times the last week because I like it so much and in addition it is so quick and straight forward to prepare.   You only need one pot, it makes great use of leftover vegetables and it works by itself as well as a side for chicken or lamb.  Who would have thought that rice can taste that fantastic? |
