Smyth in Chicago is one of the most interesting places to eat in the USA.
I visited in 2019 and they showcased a strong farm to table ethos and were starting to really hum in regards to their fermentation program . 6 years later they have been bestowed with Three Michelin stars and have a unique style with slight nods of Japanese and Scandinavian influence , but focusing on acidity and lactic fermentation.

The menu starts with raw sugar snap peas paired with pumpkin seed milk and miso spheres , the peas really popped with sweetness while the pumpkin seed and miso worked for balance.
Lobster and raspberry was a wild ride for a very small dish , lobster knuckle and a lobster tamale custard worked very differently with the raspberry , I don’t love the combination with the lobster meat , but the pairing with the tamale custard was intense and incredible .
Smyth has an ever changing menu but almonds and caviar is more or less the signature dish . Pickled green almonds , walnut oil , almond milk and Nocino are served with caviar . We are asked not to mix the elements too vigorously instead you taste them individually in whichever progression you desire . It was creamy , buttery , sharp , salty . Astonishing.
California avocado is served chilled as a palate cleanser , paired with peanut milk , spruce and guava , it is another unique combination of flavours , I particularly enjoyed the spruce.
Asparagus and sesame was a miss for me, the gently warmed asparagus tips were a little shy in flavour.
Coho salmon and papaya was next, the salmon was delicate and flaked beautifully .
However regardless of quality I don’t think Salmon really has a place on fine dining menus .
Meat courses were excellent Vermont quail breast was cooked on the hearth and served with puffed grains and morels, the quail leg was cooked tempura style with citrus zest, accompanying the bird was a luscious milk bread topped with toffeed veal glaze.
Elysian farm lamb rack was encrusted by a maitake also glazed with veal jus , while the lamb sweetbread was grilled over binchotan with an apple juice marinade.

My favourite bánh mì spot in Hanoi – “Bánh Mì 25” nails the perfect balance of crispy baguettes, house-made pâté, and bold fillings🥪 Whether you’re craving crispy pork belly, a hearty mix of smoked sausage and barbecued pork, or something lighter with local egg, cheese, and avocado, this place delivers every time🫶🏼 Expect queues during peak hours, but don’t worry, you’ll get a numbered card to wait until your order is ready🛍️

We visited daily during our trip, and each version had its own charm🍀 The “Bánh Mì Heo Quay” featured perfectly crispy pork belly, while the “Bánh Mì Thập Cẩm” was a rich combination of pâté, barbecued pork, and smoked sausage💯 The “Bánh Mì Trứng Gà Ta, Phô Mai & Bơ Quả” offered a lighter, satisfying option with egg, cheese, and avocado to balance out the richer flavours🤤

ベトナム・ハノイで一番美味しかったバインミーは「Old Quarter（オールド・クォーター）」にある「Banh Mi 25（バインミー・トゥウェンティーファイブ）」🌟 サクサクのバゲットを使ったベトナム風のサンドイッチのメニューはバリエーションが豊富🙌 何を頼んでもハズレなしでしたが、個人的には自家製パテ、ジューシーな炭火焼きチャーシューと燻製ソーセージを挟んだ「Bánh Mì Thập Cẩm（バインミー・タップカム）」がオススメです💓

Ujeong - Seoul (Korea)

Out of all my meals in Soul, this is probably the one that I think the most about.

Maybe it was because of the infinite amount of Soju and Makgeolli that was poured on my cup. Maybe it was the great company of strangers who became friends in the span of days. Or maybe due to the absurdly high level of food that we were served. But one thing is for sure, what took place at Ujeong was nothing short of a banquet.

Giving credit where it is due, this is a place that I probably have never heard about if it weren’t for @kimanica. Thank you, Anica, for yet another spot on recommendation.

Now, onto the food. We had an absolute feast at Ujeong, leveraging the fact that we had a big group of eaters to order as many different plates as we could. As a result, I was able to try a wide range of typical dishes that were still pending on my list up to that meal.

Their signature bulgogi, marinated upon order and made with Hanwoo beef, was an absolute banger. It was also not as thin as in most places, which gave it a very nice texture.

If I had only eaten the bulgogi and left, I would already have left completely happy. But we obviously didn’t stop here. Buckle up, because the list goes on.

The yukhoe bibimbap was delicious. There was also a type of brisket salad, which I missed the name of, that was acidic and addictive.

Another hit was the Yukjeon, a beef pancake, served beneath a spring onion salad with gojuchang, vinegar and sesame oil that balanced out the dish by cutting the fatiness from the beef.

As in most Korean meals, we also had to have soup. This time, we had four different ones, with three of them being: Gomtang (beef soup), Yukgaejang (a spicy beef soup) and Naengmyeo, a very traditional dish of buckwheat noodles served cold that I was looking forward to trying.

The final soup however deserves at least a paragraph of its own. The Gopchang-jeongol, or beef intestine soup, was clean and very satisfying. As a final bang, its leftovers were then mixed with rice, seaweed and other condiments to become an ultimate plate of fried rice. Afterall, everything in Korea ends in carbs.

A revisit to @sushisaitohk with new Head Chef Nawata Ryosuke at the helm. The chef had trained at the revered Sushi Saito in Tokyo and Bangkok before taking over the Hong Kong branch. As the seasonal seafood is handpicked by Saito San every morning at Toyosu Market and transported to HK on the same day, you can have the same quality of ingredients as the honten including the famous tuna from @yamayuki.official which supplies many top sushi restaurants in Tokyo. Aside from the maguro, highlights included the abalone with rice, tai shirako with ponzu, sakura trout, bafun uni, and the massive futomaki with an array of ingredients!

Our lunch menu:

Sea Bream Fish Roe
Miyazaki Bonito Sashmi
Sea Bream Fish Milt
Nagasaki Abalone Sushi Rice
Wakayama Conger Eel

Ehime Tile Fish
Wakayana Marlin
Yaumagata Sakura Trout
Shizuoka Lean Tuna
Shizuoka Medium Fatty Tuna
Shizuoka Tuna Belly
Fukuoka Big Fin Reef Squid
Toyama White Shrimp
Hokkaido Bafun Sea Urchin
Nagasaki Sea Eel

Day 2 of my Best of Spain Tour took us to ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @diverxo for lunch. I keep saying, with every visit here, that somehow @dabizdiverxo Dabiz seems to improve what appears to be already perfect. It is truly an incredible restaurant and definitely in my top 3 in the world. The creativity and imagination that goes into each dish is outstanding. Combinations that when you see them written down on paper you would think could never work but they invariably do. Pristine products, bold flavours anchored in Asia and South America and of course world class service from the team make this restaurant an absolute must visit for any dining enthusiast. I can’t wait to return soon.
