Light Lunch at St Johns

I have heard so many good reviews about St Johns but it is one of those restaurants that you can't really dine alone.
The only item I have tried from them was their doughnut from the Bakery however recently I got hyped on Calves liver because it was done right so found out that St Johns had it too hence went there to have a nosy at the menu.
It turns out they also have a Wine bar which is casual featuring smaller plates tapas style which was perfect for me.
They also had Ox liver which made my day so I dined there.

As well as that, I had the Nettle and Ham soup and the Roasted Bone marrow with parsley Salad.

Roast Bone marrow and parsley salad.

I ordered this by impulse and definitely do not regret it but looking around everyone else's bones were taller and bigger than mine!

Anyway, it was probably for my own good as I wasn't sharing especially all that cholesterol.

It is really good how they just baked it like that and did not cut the bone horizontally as you lose a lot of the good stuff like that.

This was the best bone marrow experience I have ever had because it was not ruined by garlic or herbs.

The parsley salad was a match made in heaven as it was literally soaked in lemon juice which makes it appetizing on the sourdough with the marrow and its grassiness.

It would have been nice if the toast was not so burnt because the edges were not edible.

Ox Liver, Chicory and Anchovy.

After tasting some amazing Calves liver that was done right, I have been trying to go somewhere that also delivers.

Most restaurants that I wanted to go mainly do liver and onions or bacons using Calves Liver or Ox.

I stumbled upon St Johns which serves this and found out that it was on the daily specials menu so how could I not try.

I had the Ox Liver, Chicory and Anchovy which was from the wine bar. 

It really made my day as it was something different from liver and onions yet it was so tasty.

The Ox liver was sliced and tossed with chicory in a creamy sauce flavoured by the anchovies and chopped parsley.

It was simply delicious and the texture was beautiful a it was soft and velvety just like pigs liver when it is done right but it does not have that offal taste like pigs liver.

I was expecting the Ox Liver to not be as good as Calves but it was just as good.

Overall, I was really impressed to try another liver dish served so differently to liver and bacon.

Nettle and Ham soup!

This was my second time having nettle and again it was blended.

The first time was nettle pasta as a sauce and now soup with ham.

Basically the nettle was blended.

I kept finding white cubes which I thought was potato but it was the fat from the ham which was horrific.

There were tiny pieces of ham here and there though.

Liver and Onions at Bar Bruno

One of the better places for liver bacon.
I would have liked the liver to be a little undercooked but I guess there is the risk of you know!!
Bar Bruno, possibly the only greasy spoons in SOHO offering a wide range of sandwiches is evidently a popular with tourists and people in the area.
Finally gave it a visit because of the liver and bacon which is getting rare these days.
It is hard to find good ones because lack of demand hence it will probably come from the freezer.
The liver here was good but I felt that it was a bit over cooked compared to the one I had previously which was served pink.
Anyhow, I still recommend this place.

Tea at Breadline Cafe, Charing Cross

Tea at this nice old caffe.
I have been meaning to try Breadline Cafe which I pass all the time.
Scanning the menu, I love all the English fryups.
The ambiance is casual and I like the old style and decor.
In the sauces section, they have lemon and lime juice.
Finally decided to try it one afternoon but they were not quite impressed that I just ordered a drink despite the whole place was empty.
It is always good to have one customer which reassures passers by to come in as the place gets noticed.
Anyway, will be back for food as a foodie.

Maritozzi bun at Caffe Nero, Frith Street

This bun is definitely worth trying but because it's a mass chain, expect the bun to be a little firmer however not the stale type.
Obviously they have been chilled in the cabinet for quite a while until they are sold or they could be previously frozen.
The fluffy fresh cream is fab though, not too sweet with a faint lemon taste. 

The pistachio Maritozzi bun at gelatorino was also good, bun was fluffier and probably made from a smaller batch.

Tea at Caffè Concerto

Finally ticked the box by going to Caffe Concerto which is pretentious and overpriced.
Anyway, in the tea section, you will see The Teamakers logo which I assume all teas are from this label.
Ordered the English Breakfast and it was Tetleys.
I mean I love Tetleys but it should be by The Teamakers according to the menu.
The staff were happy to change the tea so I chose a different tea.

New Savoury Double cheese doughnut from Crosstown

New Savoury cheese doughnut from Crosstown.
As a fan, I had to try however it was a bit pricey for £6 but then I don't often have their doughnuts unless there is something new like this.
It is not my first savoury doughnut, but this was my favourite so far as it was 100% savoury and delivered.
You can imagine it like a tomato bun with the signature Crosstown doughnut texture and then you get tomato icing which literally has that mouthfeel as well.

The cheese filling in the middle was rich, creamy and cheesy.

I didn't quite like the peanuts so would have liked some onion seeds or nigella seeds instead and the doughnut was a little spicy.
