Last days in London...

Part One

Knowing that the move ‘Down Under’ was imminent and fearing withdrawal symptoms from lack of the amazing food London has to offer, I went on an eating rampage in the months leading up to our departure that would embarrass the most decadent of foodies.

It was totally worth it (although my waste line would probably disagree!) getting to revisit favourite old haunts and ticking bucket list eateries off my list. Here is the first in a little rundown of some of the highlights:

Four Seasons 


Of all our last chance saloon feasts, Four Seasons was top of the list. Actually, I think it is quite possible we wouldn't have been able to leave had we not tasted the sweet ducky goodness of Four Seasons, one last time. 

I recommend this place to all my London friends and would always take visitors there. It’s no secret that a place is good when there is a queue around the block, but you would be surprised how many people you see ignoring the crowds and heading elsewhere.

Thus far we have never been disappointed with any Four Seasons dishes, but they are always a distraction to what is the centre piece: 

THE ROAST DUCK. It is sweet and succulent, the skin is crispy, juicy and a heavenly golden brown. Even the cabbage underneath, no doubt intended for decoration purposes, is beyond delicious, drenched in the sumptuous duck juices and the perfect sweet soy sauce.

If you are in London’s China Town and you want a seriously good meal, head to Four Seasons (It’s so good they now have two!) or head to the original, and some would say the best, to get your ducky fix.  You won’t regret it.
