Selfridges The Brass Rail

Hello everyone, today I have another small restaurant review for you.
Last couple of weeks I have been doing some Christmas sales , to be honest near Bond street there are nothing really good to eat ( or I was too busy shopping and not realizing. ) I have been to Smack Deli which has Lobster roll and soup.
I have heard the salted beef sandwiches in Selfridges food hall The Brass Rail is very good and since I was there I had a try.

I ordered half sandwiches as I was going to meet a friend later on for coffee . I have ordered the classic salted beef with English Mustard.  The mustard is very strong and the beef is too salty for my taste. Yes I know it is salted beef but it was just too salty perhars there are no veggie for the sandwiches thats why.

You have a choice of half , regular and large sandwiches and a few choices for the bread . I went for the wholemeal, it is just a normal wholemeal bread nothing special.
I was lucky to order soya milk with my sandwich so it can balance the mustard ..

Personally would go again to try other dish but I doubt I would go back for the sandwich unless you are fan with salty food. The restaurant is very busy thou so I suggest many people do like it  .

Give it a go if you are around there next time , am sure you might find it differently .

Arang - Korean Restaurant Review

Happy New Year Everyone ! I hope you all had a fabulous new year eve celebration and I wish you a prosperous year .

I went to Arang for New Year eve dinner, it is a Korean restaurant near Piccadilly Circus. I have been to hear before and this time I went with some friends and they have ordered a couple of new dishes. One of the dish I would not normally order but it was surprisingly delicious.

I love Korean BBQ , they offer cook it in the kitchen or do it yourself on the table. We have chosen to cook in kitchen as we ordered a lot of dishes. They have a extractor fan so it wont make your clothes smell .
  
 Seafood Pancake - sorry about the photo , we were all excited about the dish. It is very good we all love it .




Spicy pork with Tofu. Not too spicy at all very good with tofu and rice.














Sweet and Sour Pork - especially for my hubby , just in case other food he doesn't like but he loves it all. Still this is his favorite dish of the day.












BBQ sirloin steak - we ordered 2 of these, it is very very tasty


 BBQ pork - very yummy too.







 A very surprising dish ! Beef tartare with raw egg yolk. Yes this is not something I normally order but it is very very delicious .  I dont feel like I am eating raw beef , it has some kind of chewy feeling as it is cold and also it is sweet with the sauce. Definitely worth to try if you are an adventure food lovers.



 Last but not least, I have ordered Ox tail soup . It came with rice . I havent had Ox tail soup for a long time. This is not the best dish in the restaurant as my friend ordered a beef soup and it taste the same. One of my friend ordered a Crab soup and it was so spicy . Apparently the best soup in the house is Spicy Tofu soup , it is much smaller than ours one and it is super spicy.


Table full of delicious dishes and drinks , they also give us oranges at the end. We have also ordered a glass noodle dish but we ate it all before I remember to capture it .

If you like Korean BBQ  , I think this is a good restaurant to try . It is very close to Piccadilly Circus tube station, about 10 mins walk. I would recommend to book in advance as they are always very packed. It is more towards the higher price range restaurant but not too pricy

Address : 9 Golden Square, Soho, London W1F 9HZ
Nearest Tube staion :  Piccadilly Circus ( Piccadilly line )
