Five things Fay Maschler ate this week

Our restaurant critic heads to the new naughty Hixter Bankside and tries yoghurt-marinated prawns at Moro Exmouth Market
Greek goodness: Couscous salad with oven-roasted vegetables at Ergon
Fay Maschler6 August 2014

1. After rampant, rollicking Forbidden Broadway at the Menier Chocolate Factory theatre, Indian Rock chicken curry at new naughty Hixter Bankside nearby. For tips on booking tables, get tickets for Fully Committed (from September 3) — the ultimate restaurant anxiety play.

2. Greek cooking is groomed not impugned at the charming Ergon near Selfridges. Couscous salad with oven-roasted vegetables (pictured) has a lick of honey as fragrant as flowers.

3. “You choose,” I said to Caroline Conran when she sweetly offered me lunch. I had forgotten how pristine are dim sum at Yauatcha and loved being reminded, especially by prawn cheung fun.

4. On a warm evening open to the shouts of footballers on the Common, the new Eelbrook restaurant serves a first course of chargrilled mussels, cockles and chorizo with aioli.

5. Moro Exmouth Market never falters, as proved by yoghurt-marinated prawns with farika, chilli and prawn oil.
