Hochi Mama was the God Mother of all aspiring street artists and rappers in the early nineties. An immigrant in the big city, she hosted underground art shows along with rap battles for the rejects; a place where you could just be at home, but with family. The whole crew was always welcome, the more the merrier, and she was well renowned for creating innovative dishes using the original famous dishes from her home country, and plenty of booze, in her spacious and homey warehouse.This cheeky, vibrant and buzzing Vietnamese Fusion venue is one for your to-do list. Boasting a killer menu and a super cool vibe, this place is known for a cocktail, feast or an intimate date night.

Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at ISME, a new restaurant that offers a unique blend of Lebanese cuisine with a creative fusion twist. From start to finish, it was a culinary delight! My absolute favourites were the sambouski and cheese cigars—perfectly crispy and oozing with flavour. However, the sujok dumplings and the cucumber radish salad were unexpected standouts, showcasing a surprising and magnificent balance of spices and freshness. A special thank you to Joseph for the incredible cocktail, Le Beirut—an absolute treat that added a memorable touch to the evening. The attention to detail and bold, imaginative flavours across all the dishes and cocktails were exceptional. We cannot wait to return and explore more of the menu! Highly recommended for anyone seeking a fresh and elevated take on Lebanese cuisine.
