Cay Tre

A few days ago, I visited Cay Tre in Soho, London for dinner with my friends. This modern trendy Vietnamese restaurant delivers authentic flavours in a jovial sophisticated atmosphere- follow the jump for the whole review.

Hanoi Garlicky Pho- flash fried hanger steak and whole garlic

Danji- NYC

Danji is a fabulous little place serving Korean tapas in midtown New York. Korean tapas are certainly not two words you would expect to hear together, but it works wonderfully at Danji and it would be a great place to go for a first date due to its warm, intimate atmosphere. (not that I would know, I went with my whole family and we ate awkwardly amongst romantic diners.)

Tofu with ginger scallion dressing $8

Roka

Anyone who knows me will know my obsession with Japanese food- and Roka has got to be one of my favourite places to go to when I need my craving satisfied.

FOTD # 3

Today's foodporn is from Tao, a pan-asian restaurant in NYC. 

I believe the two dishes here are tuna tartare and black cod skewers. The food was varied and authentic, but the nightclub-like atmosphere was slightly too overwhelming for a jet lagged, grumpy teenager. Also, our reservation was delayed for 45 minutes which is a foolproof way of putting me in a foul mood...

The food is very good but pricey- we inadvertently spent $250 that night!

Chino Latino

"Kani kani" soft shell crab and avocado nigiri sushi

I went to this Asian-fusion restaurant for my mum's birthday in January this year- although it may seem a bit far out near Vauxhall (in London) the food is definitely worth going out there and sampling. 

BiBimBap

I know what most of you are thinking: what on earth is a “bibimbap”?! Read on to find out...

Koya

It’s not hard to spot Koya, despite its neutral-toned exterior- a long queue frequently winds down from its door and spills onto the street, and I can certainly see why...

Nam

Located on the corner of Dean Street, this unsung hero championing Vietnamese street food is a fast and healthy option for the hungry time-conscious diner looking for bowls of steaming hot silky ribbons of pho, or refreshing vermicelli salad.
