Amazonico Restaurant🐒🌿🍍

Amazonico in Mayfair

It was an amazing experience dining at Amazonico Restaurant in Mayfair. The food was fantastic and they are all BBQ style and you can taste the smokiness from the charcoal. It is a Latin America style restaurant. The atmosphere is lively with very good service and they have live music too. 🍾 🎉

Food is unique, we had frog legs and lots of seafood. It is quite expensive, but it is a nice restaurant to have a special celebration. I enjoyed the restaurant and I will definitely return. 🍾 🥥 🌴

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.

Easy Japanese Ramen日本拉面 🦐🍜

I found a brilliant Japanese ramen recipe from justonecookbook Chef Namiko and if you love Japanese food as much as I do. Please check her website, she is brilliant. Easy cook recipe and tasty authentic Japanese food. This ramen broth recipe is from her, but I got some twist to do my topping, is a vegetarian broth base, and you could top up any toppings as you wish. Namiko’s Kimchi Vegetarian Ramen is the base broth of this recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 500g large prawn or tiger prawn
  • 1 knob of butter
  • 3-4 cloves of garlics, chopping into fine pieces.
  • A bag of small baby spinach
  • 2 pieces of gingers
  • 500ml unsweetened Soy milk for 2 people
  • 1 tea spoon of Chilli bean paste
  • 2-3 tea spoons concentration dashi soup (I got it from Japan centre here)
  • 2 tea spoons of Miso
  • 2 tea spoons of soy

Methods followed by Namiko san here.

Topping:

I simply put a knob of butter, fried the chopped garlic, until it changed into golden colour, then put the clean – washed prawn into the frying pan and season with salt and pepper about 2-3 minutes, when all the prawn has changed into pink colour, not more grey colour. Then it is done. While the frying pan is still hot, put the spinach on the side, it will soak up all the prawn juice and only take 1-2 minutes, it will be done. Easy!

For the perfect ramen egg is here. Or quicker version I boiled the Clarence Court Burford Free range Eggs for 6 minutes, then put into ice bath for few minutes, then put all the eggs into a soy bath (soy, sugar, water) like Namiko did. It always works!

You need to do the eggs one night before, or at least 3-4 hours. The recipe is around 20-30 minutes maximum.

It is our weekly menu when the weather is cold. Perfect for a bowl of ramen.🍜

First restaurant since lockdown 🥩🍷🎉

2020 is a strange year. With global Covid-19 outbreak, we were all forced to put a pause in our life for few months. It has been very hard for everyone. We can’t see our family and friends; we can’t travel and have to work from home and home schooling for our children. It has been very tough for all business and especially all entertainment sectors.

We spent indoor for 3 months when everything was shut apart from essential shops. However, there are many positive sides during lockdown.We created many new hobbits, like baking, cooking, being an artist, a bartender, doing work out at home etc. It feels like forever, but I hope that everything will be slowly return back to normal.

On early July, the eased lockdown has announced. Two of my best friends and I decided to walk through Regents Park to our first restaurant L’entrecote in Marylebone with our kids. We were super excited and it felt so great, and it never felt so happy just to do normal things as we take for granted.

Steak was perfect with their signature sauce and crispy fries, service was as good as before. Comfort and no fuss lunch with kids. Loved it every moment. 🥩🍟🍷

Hope everyone stays safe and healthy.
