The Young Turks [London]
yep we made it in december this is what i emailed a friend at the time:
we had -
pigs blood cracker w/ schmaltz + crispy onion + little bits of chopped apple (this was the bomb)
pumpkin w/ pine salt (this was pretty tasty, just sort of sweet and deep fried-ish)
turnip w/ brown crab (this was my least favourite, the turnip was bland (i think intentionally?) but then you were meant to dip it into the brown crab which i assume was meant to be nice and rich but it was also pretty bland)
^^ these all came out together and we shared them
then "mains" that we got individual portions of were -
pear w/ cured pigs cheek + chicory (this was amazing, maybe my favourite? kind of like how you have melon w/ proscuitto. the pear had just been cooked a tiny bit to make it really sweet and the pigs cheek was sliced really thin)
mallard w/ red cabbage and pickled elderberry (i was into this, my gf wasnt, i think the pickled elderberry were slightly bitter? they were a bit unusual)
some white fish w/ leek puree (just well-cooked fish)
dessert was malt icecream i think? they need to get a pastry chef or something because they obv dont care about dessert. doesnt really bother me but my gf would have preferred something a bit more exciting.
bar shu, bar shan - both phenomenal [London]
^^^ same. i've only been to bar shu once (i usually go to other sichuan places) but ba shan is the best
