Hainanese chicken pie

Posted on 19 November 201719 November 2017by nicole

Saw a post on Facebook of a video recipe for puff pastry chicken pie and it reminded me of Hainanese chicken pie, a dish unique to Penang. It’s a dish invented by Hainanese cooks for their British masters in colonial Malaysia. Most versions are in a brown sauce – a mixture of soya sauce and Worchestershire […]

A whole platter to myself – how ‘shellfish’ of me!

Posted on 28 January 201718 March 2017by nicole
Lobster shellfish platter

On the first day of Chinese New Year, I did not want to pay through the nose for a Chinese New Year banquet with cheap ingredients with ‘auspicious’ names. So I headed to Loch Fyne after spotting a 40% off voucher (!!!) and having no takers, had the whole shellfish platter all to myself. I know, […]

The Town House set lunch

Posted on 26 November 201628 November 2016by nicole

The Town House used to have a totally bargainous lunch set menu. Due to increasing costs, they’ve stopped it. However, you can still get the three mains for the old, bargainous price of £ 10 if you like their Facebook page. It’s win-win situation for both the diner and the restaurant, I’d say! I chose […]

Brunel’s Buttery

Posted on 6 July 20146 July 2014by nicole

This institutional place is located in an unassuming brick hut near the S.S. Great Britain. I had a bacon and egg in a roll. Bread is hearty and the runny egg yolk dripped onto my fingers (the drippy egg yolk is apparently how the sandwich gets the egg banjo moniker). The coffee is made in […]
