🇬🇧 London’s New Filipino Fire Feast: Belly Bistro 🔥
📍 Belly Bistro (Kentish Town) From the brains behind Ramo Ramen & Mamasons comes this sizzling Filipino-inspired charcoal grill spot—creative small plates + strong cocktails = perfect for sharing! 🍴 STARTERS (Must-Order!): 1️⃣ Tempura Cod Pandesal (£15) 🐟🍔🧀 Crispy cod + melty cheese + caviar mayo, stuffed in Mamasons’ fluffy pandesal. McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish who? 2️⃣ Crispy King Prawns (£17) 🦐🔥 Air-fryer-level crunch (even the shells shatter!), dipped in fish sauce-lime chili honey—tangy, spicy, zero grease. 🍗 MAINS (Solid but Forgettable): 3️⃣ Woodland Mushroom ‘Arroz Caldo’ (£22) 🍄🍳 Earthy mushrooms + runny egg over undercooked sticky rice (sadly over-salted). 4️⃣ Tinola Herb Chicken (£24) 🍗🌿 Slightly dry but ginger-garlic sauce = Filipino meets Cantonese sand ginger chicken—comforting. 5️⃣ Wagyu Picanha (£33) 🥩 Charred crust, juicy inside—good but bland. Beef fat fries were cold (😭 such wasted potential). ✨ Vibes: Cozy, romantic lighting. Staff = super attentive (even explained each dish). Great for dates—but £133 for two is steep for Kentish Town. #LondonEats #FilipinoFood #HiddenGems
