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.
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!
