Read More“Into The F World” moves to Singapore…and takes a break
Hi everyone! The new year just started and when doing my “2013 in review”, I realised that I have been skirting around this issue a while, so here I am. As some of you might have suspected from the prolonged silence, I am taking a break from blogging on “Into The F World”. Let’s call it, as it’s the fashion right now, a “blogging sabbatical”. Technically...

Read MoreTonkotsu East review (soft opening) – finally, ramen in Hackney!
This review of Tonkotsu East will be very short – but having been on the quest for the best ramen in London for over a year now, I couldn’t pass on the chance to let foodie Londoners, and in particular my fellow Hackneyites, of a welcome addiction to East London dining scene- proper RAMEN! Even better, proper Tonkotsu. The homonymous Soho joint (which I reviewed in June 2012) has now branched...

Read MoreLatium Restaurant, London – where good Italian food beats “cool” 3-0
I have been in two minds about writing about Italian restaurant Latium for a long time – a time during which I have visited the place repeatedly. On one hand, Latium was my “little secret”: not that I was afraid to see it suddenly swamped, it was more of an image problem….MY image problem. Knowing that I write a food blog, people asking me for restaurant recommendations set their expectations very high...

Read MoreClockjack Oven – rotisserie chicken in Soho
As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, London can be a treacherous sea to navigate in terms of dining options; whilst there is no doubt that the overall number of good quality offerings is increasing, some areas seem to remain stubbornly the province of uninteresting chains and awful, although “independent”, tourist traps. I try to avoid Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square and similar West End haunts for...

Read MoreBurro e Salvia Pastificio – bringing fresh pasta to East London in style
As you know, lately I have been spending lots of time in Italy where even finding a piece of ginger outside major cities can be challenging, which causes me to have massive withdrawal symptoms from my usual Asian food diet; but on the other hand, I am getting a renewed appreciation for Italian food, especially the home-cooked and artisan type (check out my contribution to the brilliant Food & magazine...

Read MoreHush Brasseries St.Paul – a (not so) quietly brilliant oasis in Officeland
Our much loved London can be a fickle lover when it comes to dining options- this matron wears a leotard skin, especially for places of the casual, unplanned, cheap-ish type. If you work in Soho, you’re blessed with a variety of choices for every occasions. If you are in Shoreditch or Tech City, you’re never far off from some new world cuisine jewel (cue the ever popular Bahn Mi) or a street market (Red...

Read MoreMayfields Restaurant, Wilton Way, Hackney – London
Have you heard about Mayfields, in Hackney? No, they don’t do burgers and there is almost no meat on the menu. And not even milkshakes (they do very good toffee ice-cream though). And no queues – in fact, there were not many people around although I hope they increase exponentially, to the point where I cannot get a table anymore. Ok I am lying on the latter, as I really want to go back to...

Read MoreEating in Paris – Taishoken ramen (+ bonus: a ramen glossary)
I recently spent a few days in Paris, under the pretext of going to a rock concert with my brother who lives in the Ville Lumiere and refreshing my fleeting French knowledge. Reality is, I ate my weight in food, went to more food markets and boulangeries than I can remember and generally pigged out. It really is true that “food is the new music“. As Paris is such a cliche tourist destination,...
