FOTD # 4

Two foodporns for the price of one!

These dishes are from Roux at the Landau, which I visited for my birthday in January earlier this year. The top photo is a bitter chocolate layered cake, and the bottom a scallop dish of some kind? I can't remember exactly what it was.

This was my second time at Roux at the Landau and I remember thinking that the standard had dropped slightly food-wise...but that's for another blog post.

Ambience is beautiful: however if you do go for any reason, make it the bread and butter they circle around your table with. My god.

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!

Today's foodporn is from the lovely Comptoir Libanais, in London's South Kensington.

Potato perfection

These warm chunks of potato have a crispy skin and fluffy interior, tossed with coriander, chilli and garlic.

My first "Foodporn of the Day" post- here it is!

Crusty floury italian bread base with juicy cherry tomatoes, pesto and aromatic basil...a worthy pick.
