NEW UP! Review of OAK Restaurant in Bath, a casual dining highlight. "OAK is quiet with the gentle hum of chatting diners. It’s tidy and wholesome without being superior, haughty or scrutinising of us flesh eaters. It’s confident with apron-wearing, friendly, softly-spoken service. OAK calmly gets on with the business of showcasing what’s in season, drawing on broader influences that keep the menu exciting, while staying local at heart." eatgosee.com/travel_post/oak… – at Bath, England

"Amidst all this tweed and thick layers of matte Farrow & Ball lies the stone facade of chef Merlin Labron-Johnson’s Osip Restaurant. It is the most accomplished of the 4 Green Michelin Star restaurants visited over a fortnight in Britain." eatgosee.com/travel_post/osi… #dinner #review

Osip, Bruton: Courgettes Should Not Taste This Good

Osip in Bruton bounces between simple & simply divine as chef Labron-Johnson serves on locally-sourced ingredients & eclectic British style.

Awesome collab last night at Ossiano with El Cellar de Can Roca. Honestly so impressed that Dubai is drawing in heavy weight chefs like Joan Roca. Will speak more about it soon! 🦐 🍷 🐟 – at Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Looking into taking the UK drone flight tests. I sat the test in Dubai years ago (quite easy, like a driving test, but with a drone). We are grounded in the UAE, so I can't wait to get out flying again. (Ps. This beach is in the Seychelles).

Also, the damage for lunch at Long Teng. This is the bit where I should say that they just keep refilling the tea pot so we had 3-4 among three people over two hours. – at Dubai, United Arab Emirates

As someone who travels to Portugal regularly, eggy tarts hold a special place. That quivering, supple centre. The squidge between my fingers. These are not like the Portuguese type, but it takes me somewhere close. 38 dhs for three.

Adorable Creamy Custard Eggy Buns oozing with brilliant yellow custard. Second degree burn hot but just sit patiently and make faces like the lovely Laura here. 38 dirhams for three buns. #dubai #dimsum #dessert

Peking Duck plate with glassy crispy skin that begs to be dipped in sugar (as is the way). It’s a pricey plate at 398 dhs, but it fed three people. would you recommend anywhere for Peking duck? Crispy glassy skin and plump duck meat.

So far these are the best steamed red rice and prawn cheung feung I’ve had in the city. There may be better and - if there are - I want to know all about it. Six in a glossy pile are 46 dhs. #dimsum #cantonese #lunch

A lovely lunch yesterday at Long Teng Seafood with lovely company. Still my favourite dim sum spot in Dubai so far but would love to get some recommendations from others.

Big T Barbecue. Made a visit. The highlight was the burger but I’ll hold my views on the rest as I think I went at the wrong time TBH.
