Crab Sandwich  @ El Pescador Fish Market
This is a fresh beauty of a crab sandwich, rammed with a generous amount of Dungeoness Crab Meat, super fresh salad, buttery avocado and mayonnaise on very soft white bread. It's also massive.

Xiaolongbao Dumplings @ Lou Shi Tang Bao

Three treasures dumplings @ Chu Kei
The signature dish on the menu at this noodle house is the “Sam bo” which literally translates to three treasures from Cantonese. It’s a bowl of piping hot bouillon with a pork and fish bones base that comes with three different types of dumplings – the wantons, sui gow dumplings and finally the yu mai “fish flour” dumplings that have a smoother and thicker consistency and their skins don’t crease when cooked like its counterparts. The fillings consist of minced pork, shitake mushrooms and fresh shrimps. Recommend trying the deep fried wontons too!

Half an Applewood Smoked Duck @ Elbow Lane Brew and Smoke House
Sounds of approval all around the table as I got stuck into Half an Applewood Smoked Duck, checking over the carcase a few times to make sure I hadn't left anything edible there. “The best duck ever,” was the verdict. And I enjoyed the sides and didn’t spare their own Smoke House Sauce. All the while sipping from their own beers, brewed a few yards away.

Black Chicken Samgyetang @ Kuryeo Samgyetang
This is a delicious chicken in pot dish that is made with a young black chicken that is stuffed with glutinous rice, chestnuts, garlic, herbs, and a ginseng root. The chicken is boiled till cooked and the rice is soft. The black chicken is a rare ingredient where the bones, flesh and skin is black.

Jeju Ogyeopsal @ Jeju Harubang Dwetgogi
The best pork comes from Jeju and this place has thick slabs of it that are cooked over charcoal and served with a bean and anchovy sauce for dipping. The owner was a butcher so he knows the best cuts of pork and gets premium pork for his place. They serve lots of kimchis and greens with the pork and a pungent bean paste soup to accompany it. Oh, and enjoy the Jeju Soju with it.

Hazelnut heaven @ Steven ter Horst

Creamy truffled mushroom ragu @ Bar 9
A mound of creamy truffled mushroom ragu on toast with poached eggs and finished with truffle honey. Delightfully delicious! The thinly sliced button mushrooms were cooked well, not soggy but still firm and juicy in a creamy and flavourful ragu that coated each slice evenly. The dish was rich but not overly heavy with a hint of truffle honey, just a touch of sweetness to satisfy ones palate. Texture was a huge component of the dish: crusty toasted bread, firm meaty slices of mushrooms, perfectly cooked poached eggs with a golden creamy runny yolk and freshness and crunch from the sprigs of watercress on top. A must order and a favourite of many patrons!
