HELLO FOODIE | DUCK & WAFFLE

Hello Beautiful Souls,

I can’t control my excitement as I share my unforgettable experience at Duck & Waffle, located on the 40th floor in the Salesforce Tower near Liverpool Street Station. It was another lovely day spent with my mom, and I must say, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit if you want to see London at its very best.

The sight of the iconic Gherkin right in front of us was simply breathtaking. It set the perfect tone for the marvellous culinary journey that awaited us.

We opted for the Sunday Roast 3-course menu, priced at £55, and it exceeded all expectations. The Angus Beef Tartare was a heavenly delight, bursting with flavour and perfectly complemented by the fresh ingredients. Of course, you can’t visit Duck & Waffle without trying their renowned roast, and it did not disappoint. Juicy, succulent, and cooked to perfection – it was a taste of comfort and indulgence in every bite.

Being a cheese lover, I was in absolute cheesy heaven with every forkful.

But the grand finale was the dessert course, where we relished the Biscoff Cheesecake and the Sticky Toffee Waffle. Both were delightful, but the Sticky Toffee Waffle was the clear winner, stealing the show alongside the unforgettable roast.

HELLO FOODIE | RAMBUTAN – BOROUGH MARKET

Hello Beautiful Souls,
Today, starting our traditional Foodtober, I want to share with you, a delightful culinary experience I had at the Sri Lankan restaurant Rambutan in Borough Market. As someone who adores the fruit rambutan, I was filled with excitement to try out the flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine for the first time. And to make it even more special, I had the pleasure of sharing this experience with my dear mum.

Walking into Rambutan, we were greeted by a warm and inviting ambience that immediately set the tone for a wonderful meal. The menu offered a tantalizing selection of dishes, each one promising a burst of authentic Sri Lankan flavours. It was a tough decision, but we finally settled on two mains and a small bite to savour.

Our first main course was the mouthwatering black pork dry curry, served with fluffy white rice. The combination of tender pork infused with aromatic spices was a true revelation to our taste buds. Each bite was a delightful dance of flavours that left us craving for more.

The second main course was the red north prawn curry with tamarind, paired with a deliciously soft and flaky roti. The prawns were perfectly cooked, and the tangy tamarind sauce complemented them beautifully. It was a harmonious blend of spices that transported us straight to the vibrant streets of Sri Lanka. [Even if you haven’t been, like us].

As a small bite to tantalize our palates further, we couldn’t resist trying the kalupol grilled chicken with tamarind and green chilli. The succulent chicken, marinated with bold spices, was an explosion of taste and texture. The combination of tamarind and green chilli added a zesty kick that left us impressed.

However, amidst all the amazing flavours, there was a tinge of regret. We couldn’t help but wonder about the okra with curry, which we had almost ordered but decided to skip at the last moment. If only we had known how incredible the food would be, we would have savoured that dish too.

Nevertheless, our lunch at Rambutan was an unforgettable experience. The friendly staff, the delightful ambience, and, above all, the mouthwatering Sri Lankan dishes left us with lasting memories. It was a joy to explore the richness of Sri Lankan cuisine, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have shared this extraordinary meal with my mum.

If you ever find yourself in Borough Market and are eager to embark on a culinary adventure, Rambutan is an absolute must-visit. Prepare your taste buds for an explosion of flavours and get ready to indulge in the magic of Sri Lankan cuisine.

Until the next food adventure,

 

With love,
Miss Widjaja

HELLO LONDON | HARRODS ROTISSERIE

Hello Beautiful Souls,
Inspired by some viral TikTok videos, I ventured on a culinary adventure to try the famed rotisserie box at Harrods. Intrigued by the buzz around the Harrods Rotisserie menu, I couldn’t resist giving it a try.

After spending a delightful afternoon at the V&A Museum, just a 15-minute walk from Harrods, I found myself with some extra time and a beautiful sunny day beckoning me to explore further. Harrods, with its iconic food hall, seemed the perfect destination.

Upon arriving, I headed straight to the Rotisserie counter. The prices were quite reasonable, with a full rotisserie box costing just £10. This includes your choice of meat, two sides, and two condiments. However, I was particularly drawn to the truffle mac and cheese box, priced at £12 but following the same concept. Unfortunately, the rotisserie chicken was sold out for the day, but I was eager to try the truffle mac and cheese.

When I got home and opened my box, I was not disappointed. The rich aroma of truffle hit me immediately, and the flavours did not disappoint. The mac and cheese was creamy and indulgent, with a perfect hint of truffle. The roasted broccoli and chicken were delicious, making for a satisfying and hearty meal. For the price point, I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality and quantity. It was a generous portion, easily shareable.

I know I’ll be returning to try the rotisserie chicken next time.
