Med Salleh Viet Westbourne Grove Pho and grill

The name of this place is somewhat confusing because it appears to be called Pho and grill but also called Med Salleh Viet.
Just another Vietnamese pho place but they offer oxtail pho which is unique and they have my favourite pandan pudding.

Feng Shang Princess

A very scenic place to eat but food wise it was not outstanding. I thought it was a waste because with such beautiful decor and views, the restaurant could have upped the game by using Oriental chinaware instead of of dull cheap plastic black bowls.

Pho chicken curry at Banh Mi Keu Deli Soho

Dined here for the Pho chicken curry, chicken pho in yellow curry broth with smashed cashew nuts and lemongrass.

I'm not really a pho fan because soup noodles are tasteless.

This particular Vietnamese curry chicken noodles with pho type of noodles was interesting and memorable because the cross section is square while the noodles are thin.

The surface of the noodles are different as they are not smooth and have funny edges. 

Overall quite nice but I didn't like the oregano tasting herbs.

Lasagne at BAR 1790 , City of London

I have been meaning to visit this place for lunch because they have specials each weekday.
The ones I wanted to try were the steak and ale pie and lasagne.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a good start as it took ages for someone to come over so I could order while food took ages to arrive.
I ordered Chef Mahdi's mum's lasagne which was really disappointing and looked nothing like their lasagne on their instagram nor a normal lasagne.
It was just a pile of ragu meat sauce and virtually no lasagne sheet.

The Chippie four course lunch at Six by Nico for 25

I have always wanted to try Six By Nico which specializes in six course meals.
There are various branches in UK.
It costs slightly more in London probably due to London prices.
The booking system is a bit complicated hence the reason it took me so long to try.
The menu changes every six weeks but evidently the Chippie menu is the most popular.
Fish and Chips is my favourite meal so I seized this I chance when they had the four course offer for £25.
At Six by Nico, everything is reimagined so expect something different.
When I got there, I could see why they are so successful and efficient when busy yet I can understand why there are mixed reviews because some other branches may not be as efficient.
It's like fine dining executed guerrilla/factory production line style.
The menus are designed in a way that they can serve different themes at the same time because if you look closely, it will have the same meat/seafood assembled with different ingredients.
The simplified 4 course I had is listed below or you can order the six course if needed.

 
Course 1: Chips & Cheese
Parmesan Espuma, Curry Oil.
Course 2: Scampi Brandade, Dill Emulsion, Gribiche, Garden Peas.
Course 3: Smoked Sausage
Smoked Pork Belly, Granny Smith Apple, Salt Baked Celeriac, Choucroute
Course 4: Deep Fried Mars Bar
Chocolate Cremeux, Irn Bru Sorbet, Deep Fried Mars Bar

Overall, each course was amazing, the scampi was my favourite because of the dill.
The smoked sausage was a little irrelevant to fish and chips somehow but dessert ended nicely with the reimagined fried mars bar and Iron Bru sorbet.

Crown Cafe Bar, London

Crown Cafe Bar, another old cafe but in Central London.
Everything was displayed in the cabinets.
The sausage stack looked impressive and they were the ones I like.
I think I made the wrong decision because the bolognese was bland while the sauce lacked umami and tomato flavours.
The meatballs were a bit fatty and waxy while there was too much rosemary in the sauce.

Regent Omelette Bar, Weston Super Mare

Regent Omelette Bar, another cafe but this one specializes in omelettes so tried them.
The decor is nice and old.
I was captivated by the Bristol omelette which had asparagus.
For it to be on the menu it must be a popular item.
It made me think that if the asparagus was there all year round whether it would be fresh or canned but canned would make more sense in terms of consistency.
Anyway, for those who cant decide you can also get the six egg omelettes with a choice of 9 toppings.
