World Foodie Guide

A monthly summary about World Foodie Guide …

Research continued for my upcoming post on Where To Eat Dim Sum In London, which is set for publication on 5th May (finally!). I went to Hakkasan, Pearl Liang and Royal China Club. Just one more to go, hopefully Yi-Ban in the Docklands…

My husband and I took a break from dim sum and treated my brother to a birthday lunch at Japanese restaurant Sushi-Say. And my mother sent me her recipe for Chinese steamed egg, a simple, tasty classic that I’ve loved since childhood. She and my father are visiting from Costa Rica next month, so I’ll have plenty of home-cooked food to look forward to!

I went along to an interesting discussion on Chinese food at the British Museum, hosted by food critic Fay Maschler, with guest speakers Alan Yau, Sir David Tang and Fuschia Dunlop (who consults at Sichuanese restaurant Bar Shu that I had visited just days before). It was funny to hear David Tang dismissing Alan Yau’s restaurants as serving fancy food, when his own restaurant China Tang is so over-priced that I just refuse to eat there.

The Real Food Festival at Earl’s Court was definitely worthwhile – my stomach is still full from the tastings!

Fellow food blogger Charmaine from tasty treats! and I had lunch at Michelin-starred Thai eaterie Nahm, as part of London Restaurant Week. I’ll be posting about it on 2nd May.

Finally, as friends have been asking about restaurants in Madeira, I posted a summary of the places I went to last July in Where To Eat In Madeira, Portugal. It really brought back lovely memories of the seafood I had…

Thanks as always for reading World Foodie Guide!
