METRO MiMi Mei Fair →
Welcome back to The Slice!
It’s that time again. Time for London to be decorated in all sorts of floral delights for the Chelsea Flower Show. And if you didn’t get tickets to the official events, we’ve got lots up our sleeve. From a gorgeous Baskets In Bloom menu at MiMi Mei Fair, to a Bridgerton-esque afternoon tea at Sketch (with a string trio as the perfect backdrop).
We’re also letting you in on the fun at Flukes, the brand-new games hall from Big Penny Social in Walthamstow.
And we indulge at neighbourhood spot Tozi, trying their signature dish – buffalo ricotta ravioli in a buttery black truffle sauce. Spoiler: it’s as luxurious as it sounds.
Read on for a whole range of recommendations for 24-26 May, handpicked as always by The Slice.
1. Try floral delights at MiMi Mei Fair
By Beatrice Aidin
Rarely do I gasp at the sight of dim sum, but the vibrant beauty of the green garlic, chive and chicken and ruby-red crystal morel trio has us snapping away on our phones. They taste as good as they look – and are not only great value but utterly delicious.
We’re seated in the chic Chinoiserie-style dining room, and we indulge in Sichuan Suffolk corn-fed chicken with cashew nuts – its kick of dried chilli is just right. Their vegetarian options are equally special, like the clay pot black bean aubergine.
Each dish is served with olive fried rice and crunchy seasonal vegetables (set menus often get you on the sides). For pudding, the refreshing coco mango vegan sundae felt just like heading into the Mayfair sunshine.
