The Wandering Chef

Better late than never....

It's been a while since my last blog post and it's time for me to jump back on the blogging bandwagon, so here it goes...

Back in November, my housemate and I took our boys to The Wandering Chef pop-up at Les Maison Des Artistes in South Kensington. The evening was different to anything I had tried before.

The focus: a six-course Pan-Asian taster menu, complemented by intermittent burlesque dances. The venue was intimate and decorated with Chinese flowers, dragons and lanterns, making a perfect set for the menu.


Down to the food...Jamie and Lalie put on a spectacular spread...



Course 1: Absinthe Marinated Sashimi with Pickled Fennel, Apple and Sesame



Course 2: Carrot, Edamame Beans and Daikon Salad

Course 3: Salt and Pepper Soft Shell Crab with Green Mango and Tamarind Mayonnaise



Course 4: Sticky Aubergine with Miso Broth, Pickled Mushrooms and Cured Cucumber



Course 5: Woking Duck: Crispy Duck with Pancakes, Pickled Walnut Hoi Sin Sauce, Roast Pear and Dandelion



Course 6: Saucy Profiteroles

Pudding was introduced to us by Jamie and Lalie in a slightly different manner. Cue the curtain reveal...


Yes, that is a photo of us eating profiteroles (no-handed!) off the lovely burlesque dancers.

The night ended in us joking and prancing around on the dance floor. All in all, a deliciously different evening!
