New on the blog...

This started as a simple review and turned into...something else, I suppose.
Anyway. Here it is.

Indian Express in Caroline Street showing why they're one of my favourite cheap eats in the city centre. Fresh naan chicken tikka wrap: £7.50 and big enough to choke a donkey.

(Literally. Am now blacklisted by the RSPCA).

i'm not a big fan of people spending a couple of weeks abroad and then writing 'City Guides' as if that time is going to give them anything close to genuine insight.

And that's why I enjoyed this from @kavey.bsky.social: it's 'just' the joy of travel and food and being together. Have a read.

Coquina, Hastings Contemporary: restaurant review - The Plate Licked Clean

It is a beautiful evening for a walk down to dinner. Coquina (styled with a small ‘c’) is easy to spot from the top of Hastings’ West Hill, near the foot of the East, and next to the darkly looming Ne...

Looking for uncompromisingly spiced Sri Lankan cooking, hefty portions and value for money? Fresh on the blog, it's Canton's new Cuisines Negombo.

Cuisines Negombo Sri Lankan restaurant, Canton, Cardiff: review - The Plate Licked Clean

Cuisines Negombo sits where the interesting but short-lived Rasathi did. Unlike Rasathi, though, you can now eat in on a solitary table: so there is no need now to eat your Sri Lankan order in Victori...

I am, though Hastings has my heart. Such personality and creativity in the restaurants. Have a look at Dhamaal and Ayeeyo's on the blog for some Cardiff ideas you might like. Always got time for A44- they do sherry brilliantly don't they!

You might know how little time I have for the 'HIDDEN GEM' thing. And I've seen some howlers recently.
But I'd say the Syrian bits of Dino's menu might qualify.
Besides, I sent my parents there last week, and if they know about it, you should, too.
