"Fallow burger" (8/10) £14 🍔
A marvel featuring aged braised short rib, bacon, shallot, and cheese in a sexy brioche bun. While the taste was pretty standard, it was definitely a delectable burger. However, it mightt have looked and sounded better than it actually was.

🌽 “Corn ribs” (10/10) £7.50
I did notice one thing - Fallow seems to excel in their vegetable dishes, and these corn ribs are no exception! So for the next few lines I’ll be praising their vegetarian scene. The corn was so nicely crispy with the perfect BBQ-like kombu seasoning, it was downright addictive and could not get better. I kept wanting more and it was such a nice start to the dinner!

🥬 "Confit January king cabbage" (10/10) £18
It should be ILLEGAL for cabbage to taste this good! Fallow has taken the humble cabbage and transformed it into a majestic dish with black garlic, miso butter, and pickled walnut. The flavours and complexity are absolutely stunning. If you're ready to fall in love with cabbage like I did, this dish is a must-try! Truly king 👑

🍄 “Mushroom parfait” (8/10) £18
Quite nice - there’s only so much I can say about a parfait but the flavours were definitely a delightful harmony of smoked shiitake and lion’s mane, paired with the perfectly crisp bread! I’d say this is much better than the “Tartiflette flatbread” (£10) we got.

“Smoked beef ribs” (5/10) £12, “Whipped salmon belly” (5/10) £18
These were pretty mid, won’t talk about them, they’re the ones that have bones.

🌭 “Smoked sausage” (10/10) £11
Now if there’s a non-vegetarian dish here I recommend, it’d definitely be this. I did hear good things about the smoked cod’s head and pig’s head as well but unfortunately we didn’t try it that night. This definitely has my vote though! The most perfect sausage, with a rich yet not overpowering devilled sauce and apple ketchup, with refreshing hints of sage.

“Sekushi Menu - Classic” (7/10) £98
Sexy Fish does not revolve around one central theme, which leaves plenty of room for innovation, but at times these innovative ideas can be unwarranted and lead to ingredients that just don’t match. Their service lacked attentiveness, but the ambience was packed with liveliness and energy - there was a live DJ booth, magnanimous sculptures and the setting was phenomenal. Onto the food, despite a perplexing stance, some of the dishes still delivered exceedingly well. We started off with a humble yet tantalising tuna belly course, moving on to more fish such as yellowtail and salmon in carpaccio/tataki form, and a really crunchy and sharp salt and pepper squid. The sashimi platter was relatively fresh, and the maki it came with was rather questionable, although interesting. Prawns and cod were mediocre, but the rib-eye took me by surprise considering it is a fish-based restaurant and that the rib-eye did not look good at all. What ultimately won my heart was the dessert, where we were given rich chocolate dipping sauce for our puffs and our creamy and fluffy Victoria cake was covered with the sweetest strawberries. #london #food #foodie #londonfoodie #foodreview #londonfood #foodstagram #londonfoodporn #londonfoodguide #londonfoodblog #londonfoodspots #ukfood #ukfoodie #ukfoodblogger

“5-course” (9/10) £95
Starting off this review by acknowledging the impeccable service and their warm hospitality in this one MICHELIN-starred restaurant. On to the dishes, every course was crafted with a huge attention to elaborate detail, resulting in very intricate and organised creations. The canapes are really cute - crumbling salmon cones, foie gras balls that explode in your mouth and a celeriac soup in a magnetic slanted bowl. Lobster tail was exceedingly succulent, light and sweet, drizzled with a fruity sea buckthorn sauce. The raw carrots were a little out-of-place, I felt that perhaps paper-thin radishes would have been more apt. The Jerusalem artichoke had a mild, nutty flavour which complemented the oxtail perfectly. I was most excited for the fallow deer, but I felt that it did not live up to my expectations. Nonetheless, it was still great, I just thought it could’ve been more tender and had more ingredients to complement it, instead of sticking to the organised style as it wasn’t the most fun to just eat, say, a single mushroom. The cheese (+£15) and its pairings were phenomenal, and I enjoyed every second of it, although it was many seconds as there was quite a bit to eat and it was pretty filling. The desserts were also tremendously impressive, especially the lemon curd ice cream with honey oats, which left @chxr.eats speechless. #london #food #foodie #londonfoodie #foodreview #londonfood #foodstagram #londonfoodporn #londonfoodguide #londonfoodblog #londonfoodspots #ukfood #ukfoodie #ukfoodblogger

“House flatbread” (5/10) £8
I’m not going to give a very in-depth review because I’m inclined to be straight-forward by stating that fundamentally all the food was lacklustre and very much tipping about adequacy. I think there are still reasons to go here. For one, the architecture is breathtaking and extremely sci-fi like. It also sits in a prime location within Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Furthermore, the restaurant bases around CLIMAVORE, a concept that responds to man’s negative impacts towards the climate change, focusing on sustainability by using ingredients that have a regenerative effect on the planet. So come for the gram, support sustainability and enjoy nature; but if you’re in it for the taste of the food, I suggest elsewhere would be better, although the beetroot was pretty tasty. #london #food #foodie #londonfoodie #foodreview #londonfood #foodstagram #londonfoodporn #londonfoodguide #londonfoodblog #londonfoodspots #ukfood #ukfoodie #ukfoodblogger

“The Bilog” (9/10) £6.50
Mamasons Dirty Ice cream gained popularity from its authentic Filipino ube desserts, and this is exactly what we came here for. There are many other flavours if you don’t fancy ube (milo, cheese, calamansi, guyabano and black coconut), but do try it once anyway because their ube hits different. I had their milo and it was quite lacking (tasted more like Horlick’s), but their calmansi and black coconut were really good. The reason for the 9/10 is because I’ve tried this place a few times and I noticed inconsistency. Sometimes, the toasted pandesal ice-cream sandwich could have one exterior that’s too dry, but when done right, it is indubitably one of the best desserts around the area, and its snaking queues would immediately make sense. We also had the “Halo Halo” (£6.50) which was shaved ice, evaporated milk, coconut strings, jellies, leech flan and ube ice cream all in one cup, and I really enjoyed every bite of this as well, as it was packed with such distinct flavours in every corner, yet none clashing. #food #foodporn #londonfood #londonrestaurants #foodie #foodblogger

“Silk handkerchiefs” (9/10) £15
It depends on what you order here. These silk handkerchiefs were divine. The walnut butter used provided the paragon level of earthiness and (of course) nuttiness, and the creaminess lent itself to parmesan and the really rich, glistening and decadent, yet not overwhelming, confit Burford Brown yolk. We also had the “Pizzetta of burrata, datterini tomato and black olive” (£6.50), which was decent, but nothing to rave about in particular; the “Spicy pork and nduja ragu tagliatelle” (£14.90) which was really nice and flavourful but wasn’t exactly the spiciest; and the “Mafaldine, datterini tomatoes and basil” (£9) which I found extremely disappointing. I think the food here is alright, but some of them stands out particularly well. However, Tavolino is a really affordable restaurant that offers glamorously breathtaking views of the Tower Bridge (unless you go on a gloomy day, which is like, 70% of the time) #food #foodporn #londonfood #londonrestaurants #foodie #foodblogger

📍Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream
🚆 Nearest tube: Leicester Square
🍴Halo Halo (£6.50), Double Scoop Ice Cream with Black Cone (£4.50 + £1), Black Buko Bilog (£6.50), Ube Bilog (£6.50)

‼️ MUST VISIT IN CHINATOWN ‼️ The award-winning Filipino dessert shop offers a one-of-a-kind range of flavours you probably won’t find elsewhere in central London. Despite having few seats, I’ve always had a good time in Mamasons, with the buzzing atmosphere, pastel colours and lively music. I’d recommend the Halo Halo (⭐️ 8/10) if you’re here for the first time - mixing up the shaved ice, evaporated milk, coconut strings, jellies, leche flan and ube ice cream is truly a memorable experience. Their ube ice cream is absolutely heavenly - aside from the gorgeous Instagrammable colour, its earthy, vaguely vanilla-like flavour is truly unforgettable. I quite enjoyed both Bilogs (⭐️ 8/10) - warm, toasty pandesal sandwiches bursting with ice cream. They’re big enough to share but can get a little messy, so why not get one for yourself?

I won’t lie, you have to be prepared to pay a premium for these lovely desserts. It’s no different to the prices of most Asian food here, but I’d say that it’s worth at least a try (and perhaps several repeated visits). The queues were massive both times I came (Thursday and Sunday afternoon), so I’d say to come as soon as they open if you’re in a rush. At the risk of sounding cliched, it warms my heart to see people of different identities come together to enjoy some delicious food, as is the case whenever I visit Mamasons. Do yourself a favour and drop by! 😋😋
