Pork Dish, Fifteen Restaurant
J'ai SUPER bien mangé cette semaine grâce à la présence de ma mère et de ses copines , qui sont venues visiter Londres et profiter d'une scène gastronomique de plus en plus riche et variée.

We ate at a number of excellent restaurants! Top of my list were Vanilla Black (in the central Holborn area) and Chez Bruce (in Wandsworth common, which has been described as a "jewel in the gastronomic wasteland" of south London). We also ate at Jamie Oliver's restaurant Fifteen, which was quite pleasant although the selection was too meat-heavy for my taste. And we had breakfast at Tom's Kitchen in Chelsea, which is lovely, affordable and located in a gorgeous neighbourhood.

Mom and I did a few things besides eating - went to see Jersey Boys and perused Borough Market's extensive selection of cheeses, olive oils, veggies and artisanal breads - but the highlight of this trip was the food, without a doubt. I feel so lucky and spoiled to have such a wonderful mom. I hope that my friends and I will keep in touch, like Mom and her girl friends from university, and go on trips together even when we live in different countries.
