Roasted cod and chorizo

I've made this dish twice now, once with diced pancetta, and once with chorizo. I'd say just make use of whatever you can find in the fridge! Personally I prefer the chorizo, but you could easily chop up the left over bacon from your weekend fry-up!

Ingredients (serves 2):
2 cod fillets
60g of chorizo ring, roughly chopped
3 medium potatoes, quartered
60g green beans, trimmed 
Handful of black olives, halved
2 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon 
Pinch of chilli flakes
Salt and pepper

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees.
2. Boil the potatoes for 10 minutes, then add the green beans and boil for 2 more minutes.
3. Drain the potatoes and green beans and add the chorizo and olive, then shake it all around.
4. Tip the contents of the pan onto a baking tray and place the cod fillets on top.
5. Season the whole tray with the chilli, salt and pepper, then splash the olive oil and lemon juice all over.
6. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes, then serve, pooring over the juices from cooking, and enjoy! Simples.

Dining in HK

Image
So it's been almost two months and we've travelled through India and Myanmar, seeking out roadside cafes, hole-in-the-wall style cheap eats and risky street food. And now we arrive in Hong Kong, Asia's world city, which felt a lot more like home. It was an opportunity for us to feel a bit of comfort through our big city surroundings. We shopped, drank, and even indulged in a Christmas night out (and completely wrote off the next day...) It was a well needed break. However this slice of home, complete with its spotlessly clean streets and functioning, well... everything, also came with a host of western style restaurants. You couldn't go anywhere without finding a McDonald's restaurant, McCafe or (Mc) ice cream shop. The city in that respect was overwhelming. It felt difficult to find traditional Hong Kong food, which was nestled somewhere between Gucci and Prada... But where? Sure we'd eaten at few obligatory dim sum restaurants, our favourite be

Our first taste of Myanmar

Image
With such an easy flight over from India, it was hard to believe we were actually in another country. But here we are in Myanmar, with at first literally no idea what to expect. We'd been so focussed on planning our first month around India, that we hadn't really thought about what Myanmar would present us with. Bags dropped at the hostel in Yangon, we headed to the nearest pagoda, the beautiful Sule Pagoda, and after wetting the Buddha's head, we wondered out for our first Burmese meal. We chose Danuphyu Daw Saw Yi in downtown Yangon. A fairly plain white wash cafe, completely open out to the street, with banterous men serving out front, and women with yellow thanakha painted faces in the kitchen (sandalwood-like paste used as suncream for women and young boys). There was no menu, only a lovely Burmese man (everyone here seems to be so nice and very apologetic!), who pointed at each of the dishes behind a glass counter with a brief explanation of what they were. &qu

5 Vietnamese food must haves

Image
Having decided to do a little detour through more of SE Asia before our big hop to the other side world, I was absolutely over the moon that this diversion enabled me to sample some real Vietnamese food. The closest I've ever come to chowing down on some proper Vietnamese grub is on the Kingsland Road, and in all honesty, none of those restaurants really compare. So after trying out many of the classics from North, Central and South Vietnam, here's my top 5 must haves: 1. Bun cha By far my favourite dish is the guiltily indulgent, bun cha. This sweet meets savoury dish can leave you feeling that you've eaten a healthy 5 a day meal with the mountainous herbs and salad served alongside, whilst also feeling that the pounds will pile on with the sugary sauce cum soup, BBQ pork belly and pork patties. This northern Vietnam dish, bun (meaning rice noodle) cha (meaning BBQ pork) requires some DIY food prep. Traditionally you will be served a bowl of rice vinegar,
