NOPI

Dinner tonight was at NOPI - Yotam Ottolenghi's restaurant near Piccadilly Circus. We set off in the rain in a black cab (our feet wouldn't let us take the Tube). We couldn't get a table in the restaurant so we were shown to the basement communal table. I always enjoy coming to NOPI, the food is always different and tasty. The restaurant is also pretty and full of buzz.

We shared the following Small Plates:

Twice cooked baby chicken with chilli sauce that tasted like the kind you get with Hainanese Chicken Rice back home.

Roasted aubergine, feta, coriander pesto, walnuts

Baked cod, squid ink, venere rice

Dessert was unusual. Marshmallow, strawberries, lemon verbena creme anglaise

A happy camper I was!
