After the recent expansion that saw the celebrity chef's empire arriving at different cities in UK as well as Australia and Middle East, I was praying the next destination to be Hong Kong. But that never did materialize. So instead I decided to take matters into my own hands.
Just like the title of his book - Happy Days. There we were standing in front of the Jamie's Italian in Convent Garden. Happy days for us!
At 5:30pm, the place was already packed. Forget about privacy, everyone was just glad to have a table and who cares about rubbing shoulders while eating!
We started things on the right foot with a bowl of calamari that was absolutely divine.
The linguini with prawns and rocket leaves tossed in a light chili tomato sauce - spendid.
The squid ink risotto, well, slightly off.
But the tiramisu got us back on the right track.
