Louie Restaurant 🦞 🦀 🍸

I heard so much about Louie Restaurant in Covent Garden since it opened not long ago. I decided to give it a go and see what the food and atmosphere is like.

The menu is mainly seafood with some meats and vegetarian options. The price is quite expensive: the starter is from £14-20 and the main is from £23-55 and the dessert is from £10 onwards

I took my friend there and we had a special king prawn starter, which was amazing. It has lots of flavours, crunchy texture on the topping but also spicy. The main course I chose Seafood Combo. There were king prawn, monfish and sausages with a very rich sauce. It was full of flavours and tasty. Loved it. We had a bottle of wine and 2 cocktails. They were all good 🍷 🍸.

We went to the third-floor bar and terrace for more drinks. We tried to take pictures but was told off not allowed. It apparently has lots of celebrities and Royal members here. It had DJ there to play music and the atmosphere was amazing. This is a perfect place for a date or something special you would like to treat your friends.

Parsons Restaurant🦞🐟🦐

Parsons is one of my favourite seafood restaurants in Covent Garden. It is a very small restaurant and make sure you book a table first. I took all my friends there and all of them loved it.

Their menu changes everyday depends on the seasons. Chefs come out different ideas to cook the seafood. The quality of the seafood is fantastic and the prices are so reasonable. I am a seafood lover and was so happy to return. They have outside tables (about 6 tables with heaters) If you haven’t tried Parson, make sure you pay a visit.

Soutine 🇫🇷🐌

Soutine Restuarant

As many friends know me, I love dining out! 🍷🥩🐌 It is unusual this year that dining out becomes a really precious thing to do with your friends during COVID 19. Luckily we have managed to dine in with my close friends during early October.

Soutine located in St Johns Wood High Street and only few minutes walk from our place. It is wonderful French decor with classic french food without travelling to Paris.

My favourite dishes are always classic escargots, chicken liver pate, scallops (seasonal) and very tasty steak fillets with champagne or wine. The desserts on the other side, were a bit disappointed but cheese set was fabulous.

Eating out with friends are amazing!🎉 You get to catch up with them and enjoy tasty yummy food. Hope we can be back to normal soon and we have to support our hospitality industry!🌍

Easy and Quick Chicken Curry Katsu 日本咖喱鸡趴

Ingredients:

  1. 2 pieces of chicken breasts or legs (traditionally is better to use pork chop, but chicken is healthier)
  2. 60g-100g Japanese panko
  3. 1 egg
  4. 3 big spoons of flour
  5. Easy Katsu sauce or any Japanese Curry sauce cubes (I have all tasted them, and they are pretty good, easy and tasty)

咖喱鸡趴饭🍛:

  1. 2片鸡胸肉/去骨的鸡腿肉
  2. 日本的面包糠
  3. 1个鸡蛋🥚
  4. 3汤勺的面粉
  5. 超市容易买到的Katsu咖喱酱,或是日本牌子的咖喱酱

How to Cook:

  • First cut the chicken breast in half, I use knife quickly slice on the surface – just few slices and season salt and pepper on top each side. Two chicken breasts will become four thin chicken breasts. (It will cook easily too)
  • Do the coating: coat each chicken piece in the flour and shake off any excess flour, then dip into the beating egg mix and then coating with the Japanese panko, and make sure all the chicken surface all coating with panko.
  • Pour some sunflower oil into the frying pan – around 6 big spoons, in medium heat. Wait for 2 minutes when the oil is heated, then put all the coating chicken into the frying pan. Normally I can do 2-3 pieces at once time.
  • When they cook around 2-3 minutes then flip into another side for 2-3 minutes.
  • When the chicken is firm and panko looks brown, you know it cooked.
  • Heat up the Katsu sauce and some vegetable and serve with rice. Simple and easy. (if you are using the Japanese curry sauce, just use one cube, then put 300ml (1/2 cup) water into boil, then put the cube in and keep stirring until it is all dissolving into sauce; if you need to add more water, please do so. )

如何煎咖喱鸡趴:🍛

  • 先把1片鸡胸肉/鸡腿肉切成2小片,假如家里有锤子可以锤下鸡胸肉,这样容易煎也容易熟;没有锤子的话可以在鸡胸上面切几小刀,然后调味,下盐🧂下胡椒 -两边都要调味哦。
  • 鸡肉沾点面粉,不要太多,然后沾下鸡蛋汁,最后沾日本的面包糠,记得两面都沾均匀就可以啦。
  • 中火,下6汤勺的油,油下后等2分钟就可以煎啦。两面都煎2-3分钟,因为我们切小块,很容易熟的。面包糠变成金黄色就可以啦。
  • 最后把咖喱酱汁煮熟,煮点蔬菜🥬配饭,就可以啦。假如你是用日本咖喱酱汁的,倒300ml (1/2) 杯水煮开,然后把日本咖喱块 – 1块放入水中,搅拌煮成汁就可以啦。简单30分钟日本咖喱鸡饭就可以吃。
