Sael by Jason Atherton

 Jason Atherton's restaurants are everywhere, not just UK.

I tried a few of his restaurants in ASIA so couldn't wait to try this latest one because it is all things British as they source from the UK which is just what we need.

There are just not enough English restaurants these days so I am glad I have this on my list.

The item that caught my eye was the Marmite custard with optional caviar, that was a must for me because I bloody love Marmite!!!

Jason was there so I found out a little more about the restaurant that I wouldn't of known.

The four illustrations on the wall depict the four seasons, the menu reflects the autumn menu with the autumn illustration printed on the back.

Scanning the menu, I was particularly intrigued by this snail ox cheek lasagne which was an interesting pairing.

It turns out that snails are the love of Jason!

Prices are affordable and food comes fast which is impressive.

Started with the marmite custard tart which was exactly what I dreamed of!

Smooth silky savoury custard tart with a marmite kick!

The taste was bold and wasn't shy so it delivered while the caviar takes it to the next level.

Next was the Koffmann potato, black pudding hash, pickled apple.

This was a delicious medley of crispy style confit potato with black pudding and a refreshing pickled apple sauce.

The ember baked crapaudine beetroot, red pepper with fig leaf oil was a sweet pleaser.

Soft and sticky.

The Wood fire port roasted fig, stracciatella and cobnut hummus is a must as cobnuts are in season.

You will be bowled over by the velvety cobnut hummus which is just like hazelnut in taste which is a marriage made with heaven with the sticky sweet fig and creamy stracciatella.

The Orkney scallop, razor clams and smoked leeks were a delight.

It was a succulent tender sweet scallop on a delicious bed of chopped leeks with a crispy crunch and diced razor scallops.

Finished with the lamb doner which was a surprise.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw this and other items on the menu like the maitake skewers and wagyu char siu skewers.

It turns out that it was a lovely pillowy flatbread topped with silky pulled lamb on a cheese swirl and the whole thing was very flavourful with caraway/fennels seeds.

Will definitely be returning very very soon to try other items especially that cheese under my name before it gets super super busy!

Jason has more restaurants up his sleeve this year so Three Darlings will be my next target.

On a side note, I was quite lucky to have an early dinner just before they dimmed the lights for the food photos.

Childhood classics at Anya Hindmarch Cafe

Discovered the Anya Hindmarch Cafe when the Ice Cream project was launched.
I have been meaning to dine there because they have all the classic English biscuits and treats like bourbon, digestives, party rings, before dinner mint thins and even Wagon wheels.

The cart wheel aka Wagon wheel is probably the most sophisticated one because it has marshmallow, jam, biscuit components so tried that.

It was literally the best wagon wheel ever because the chocolate was so good and the marshmallow had a lovely chew to it.

The biscuit texture was crumbly and wheaty while the jam had a good kick.

I know you can probably get three packs for one of these but these are seriously amazing.

The only gripe was that they ran out of the cookie/biscuit served with coffee which has a King Charles postage stamp on it that is edible.

On the first day of the Ice Cream project, I wanted to try all flavours which was the new ice cream set where you try all flavours, however they were not ready for it yet so I had to get the ice creams directly from the shop which I don't mind but again they are not equipped for ice cream enthusiasts/foodies who want to buy all flavours as they don't even have trays or bags to facilitate this.

Visiting Cody Dock and eating at the cafe Milagro by the entrance

Cody Dock, a nice place in East London to get away for a few hours.
Located a few minutes walk from Star Lane DLR.
At the entrance was this lovely cafe serving some unique drinks and they even had Moroccan tagine with couscous.
The coconut, turmeric and ginger infusion was nice while the tangine was a bit too acidic but was something I needed that day.

HEINZ secret sauce at GDK

HEINZ secret sauce exclusive at GDK developed by Yung Filly and Harry Pinero in partnership with Heinz.

The HEINZ secret sauce is only available with the burger so I tried that but you can also buy tubs of it at 69p which I did.
Tasting the secret sauce alone, it was like prawn cocktail Marie Rose sauce without that creaminess followed by a fiery cajun kick.
Having it with the doner burger was also quite nice.
I expect it on the supermarket shelves next year like the Heinz Morley's sauce.
