Thats 10 minutes from my house.  They have really good food.  The cigar lounge where I smoke all the time is just up the street from there.

Our US office is in the area and I was able to walk to the restaurant from my hotel. I wasn’t aware of the cigar lounge being so close. I may have to check it out. It would be great to meet up if the timing worked during one of my visits.

We went to the Polo Bar tonight, which is Ralph Lauren’s restaurant in NYC.  Food was amazing.  I wish I took pictures of it.  Absolutely amazing burger.  The rib-eye steak was out of this world.  And the fish was really good too.

Jealous.  It's always a treat when they have the steaks from Ralph's own ranch on the menu!

Not long back from holiday on Ikaria. Proper lamb chops that are too big for the plate and Katsikaki Giouvesti (stewed goat) that I had too many times ☺️ Love Taverna food! Look at those lamb chops. What we buy here is cut way down, criminal!

Other than the fantastic food, the atmosphere and decor there creates an incredible vibe.  Which, I guess is his specialty.  Loved everything, right down to the little polo mallets in the drinks.

This may be my new go to for salmon. Simple EVOO, salt and pepper. Done on a smoking hot smooth griddle. It was ridiculously good.

That's rough. If I don't get my fix of Malaysian food, I get grumpy. Last week went back to that Malaysian restaurant to try their wat tan hor and mee goreng (plus get some char kway teow). Probably the most authentic mee goreng I have had outside of Malaysia. And the egg gravy for the wat tan hor was exceptional.

Fuzz going to Bali in September so looking forward to eating heaps of traditional food

Go for babi guling, lawar (note: red lawar is made with animal blood), pepes ikan (banana leaf wrapped fish), betutu (chicken or duck variety), the usual nasi goreng and satay skewers, and go for the sweet desserts of course.

Suggest you download the Grab app on your phone. It is Malaysia's version of Uber, that has spread throughout South East Asia.

A very buzzy dining room indeed.  The last time I was there Ralph kicked my chair as he headed back upstairs after supper.  Pretty fantastic really.

Very cool.  I plan on going back in December for my anniversary.  How many times have you been there?  

I have run into him out in East Hampton, where he has 3 different stores on that one little block of Main St.  Well, actually 4 if you count Dylan's Candy Bar.  I think he lives in Montauk.  Seems like a nice guy, but his wife, not so much.

I realize today that I well and truly screwed up not taking a pic yesterday but I sous vided and seared a 3.5 inch thick tomahawk ribeye and made a lovely chimi to accompany yesterday. Divine.

Just three times I think.  I like his place in Chicago for lunch.  Can't speak to the man or his wife's character but I do love the brand, what a genius!

Dear wife took me to dinner at Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet to celebrate my belated 53rd birthday. https://uvbypp.cc/

There was a 15 minute intermission, where they served cognac/cigar/coffee look alike taste buds cleanser, before we continue our second half of the dinner.

The tea cup is edible, sorbet jello like.

The Cola Beijing Duck taste like candy

Finally, 4 course desserts to complete the evening. 

Not a best dish but a best meal I had, as this was my first ever immersive dining experience.

@Fuzz just for you

Too many to choose from, last night in KL. Compilation of the past week.

The cuisine here constantly blows my mind and palate.

[Fuzz]

@torsion Well done, bro! Well done!!!

Me an my missus once went to a lovely little twee ice cream parlour in Conway, Wales. They had a green icecream called "taste of the sea".  we asked the girl behind the counter

Us:   "What's this one like?"

Girl:   "It's f**kin MinnnnnnnGin!"   (UK slang for disgusting). 

Anyway we took a punt of the 16yr old till girl not necessarily having the best taste, and ordering it anyway.   It was wonderful.  It was kelp green, slight sort of earthy matcha flavour to it, with a touch of seasalt in the background.

There’s nothing quite like the Lobster Cobb Salad at Duryeas Lobster Deck in Montauk.

[shokao]

Home made greek yogurt with berries, 70% chocolate chips, cashews and maple syrup.

Steak day yesterday. Only my second time in many, many years - went to a Gauchos in London. Had a med rare ribeye 400g £43.50. Wet aged. Well cooked. Bland. We had to throw way too much salt on them. Not going back.

I can't load photos were I am but last night, shaved baby reindeer heart with tar ice cream (and yes, tar like is used on roads). 

it was just an amuse bouche - but it was sensational.
