The Newsletter No.5: Catch The London Sushi Train.

The Newsletter No.5: Catch The London Sushi Train.

September 1st, 2010

Sushi bingeing. The final frontier. The unquestionably orgasmic delight of popping dollop after dollop of a food of an unrelentingly elegant design; low in fat, high in umami, arguably, an invention born of perfection. Some say the combination of raw fish Read "The Newsletter No.5: Catch The London Sushi Train." more
Asakusa: Into the den of sushi.
Photography by Kang L
August 26th, 2010 A firm, yet genteel voice answered the phone. The line was horribly muffled as I struggled to pick out the vowels through the low, low bass. Fum.Fum.Sa.Sa. I think she said, in a deceptively Japanese accent. An awkward silence befell. “Aka …ka…” I said. “ZZZassss… ka” she said, with a quickened pace. I gave up.

Photography by Kang L
August 23rd, 2010 Adam Byatt, the thinking man’s version of a celebrity chef, and owner of the much lauded Trinity restaurant, situated in leafy Clapham. Critics adore his work, for the invention, progression and enthusiasm he has brought to British cooking, and one expects no less Read "Trinity: Sunday Roast, meritorious for 3." more

Photos, restaurants, and dropping trousers.
camera guide for food bloggers-8
August 24th, 2010 I didn’t realise cameras in restaurants were still such taboo. This week I had two journalists ask me what I thought about the act of pulling out a camera in a restaurant, which some say is equal in every sense to dropping your trousers in the middle Read "Photos, restaurants, and dropping trousers." more

July 27th, 2010 Maybe…? Photo atrributed to Eivind Z. Molvær (cc) I have been dipping my head into various design blogs whilst perusing some of the more sophisticated iPad RSS apps which have the ability to turn multiple news sources into a consistent news resource.

June 30th, 2010 At the half way mark of 2010, we have witnessed a number of new restaurant openings in London which has brought a sleuth of choice to the discerning diner.

Highlights from Taste of London 2010
Taste of London 2010-36
June 19th, 2010 Yes, the food festival that features some of London’s more famous and not-so-famous restaurants, popped up this weekend at Regent’s Park under rather dreary skies. Of course I was there. I spent 100 crowns, that’s fifty quid. Oh yeah baby. Lots of photographs after the jump. Read "Highlights from Taste of London 2010" more

Bea’s of Bloomsbury: The Sweetest Things.
Photography by Kang L
August 20th, 2010 It has taken me about a year to visit Bea’s in Bloomsbury, but I’m glad I finally made it. This tour de force bakery, cake house, coffee & tea shop produces top notch sugary things from their massive kitchen on site on a daily basis. Needless to say, Read "Bea’s of Bloomsbury: The Sweetest Things." more
Twenty pounds of sushi at Mitsui, Taiwan.
Mitsui-2
August 18th, 2010 Twenty quid doesn’t go too far in London, maybe two courses. Three if it’s a michelin-on-a-budget. On the otherhand, the Taiwanese have perfected the art of amazingly affordable fine dining on half a shoe string. Back in February, I was over in Taipei for Read "Twenty pounds of sushi at Mitsui, Taiwan." more

Two years old.
Photography by Kang L
August 23rd, 2010 Yes I cannot believe it too. It is two years ago today, that I assaulted the internet with my barrage of hot air and vulgar food photography, which may as well be classified as taboo, and I would just like to start by saying Thank You for reading and putting up with me. So far [...] Read "Two years old." more
