Cherry & Chocolate brownie from Popina

Popina is a cafe in Mayfair but they also have stalls at the market all over London like Kings Cross.

Spotted them because of the chocolate cherry brownie so decided to try it as it looked like a lush pairing.

I am so glad I did because it was an amazing brownie, the chocolate brownie part was soft moist and not too sweet while the cherry layer consisted of real pieces of cherries.

Overall, money well spent and the lady at the market packaged it nicely which keeps it safe and sound until you take it out!

Clam burgers and fried green tomatoes at Grosvenor Fish Bar

Grosvenor Fish Bar, an assuming American style quirky chippie that serves clam burgers and fried green tomatoes so tried them.

The clam burger reminds me of canned clams from the US but the patty also had other stuff which gives it a garlic bread taste.
The fried green tomatoes were a bit too hard for my liking while the tomato slices were not juicy.
The basement of this restaurant is a must visit.

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.
