"Katana's dragon roll has shrimp tempura with avocado and a spicy sauce. Trying to catch it as it sails past on a boat after a few glasses of wine: priceless."

"Does what it says on the tin (meaning it delivers exactly what it promises): scrambled eggs, bacon, and Cheddar cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla. It's good every time."

"This salad is huge, definitely big enough for two. Crispy-skinned Peking duck, pea shoots, pine nuts, and pomelo—lovely."

"Cold sliced beets are topped with a cold, hard boiled egg and have plenty of red wine vinegar and Maldon salt added. Even though the restaurant literally means 'the fat cows,' I love this thin salad! This may make you smell afterwards, but it is well worth it."

"This is a succulent slab of barbecued pork belly on a potato roll with kimchi. It's a heart attack-inducing sandwich. Fantastic."
