Food glorious food

On Saturday night Simon and I went to Maze at the London Hotel.
I have wanted to go there since last year when he went and came back with tales of how yummy it was, and that the 6 course tasting menu is just $75, which is less than £40!
Unsurprisingly the place was full of Brits who obviously cant afford to eat in a Gordon Ramsey restaurant in the UK, but find that with the great exchange rate they can here.

Anyway, it was obviously really good value, and all the food was amazing.
Unfortunately we tripled our bill by adding booze to it, but that couldn’t be helped.

I had:
Beetroot with ricotta
Aubergine carpaccio with figs
Lobster risotto
Steak with morel mushrooms
Apple and cinnamon trifle
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich

Actually, that’s not true, I hate peanut butter so Simon ate mine, which means he had three puddings and I only had one, which makes him a fatty and me brilliant.
Although he says he only ate mine so the chef wouldn’t be offended!

It was all really yummy, but far and away the best bit was the apple trifle.
It was apple jelly, with cinnamon cream, crème anglais and frozen cider shavings.
Oh yes, and a little doughnut with apple and cinnamon puree in the middle.
D.licious.
