We haven't been to Marcus Wareing's eponymous restaurant since it was re-branded. It's a little art-deco jewel-box of a restaurant, but the atmosphere seemed just as hushed at lunchtime as before... Still. The food was good, and I was particularly enamoured with this dish - a little chef's joke... The pineapple tastes of coconut, which initially confuses the senses, especially as you try to work out how... I pressed the waitress, it's clearly compressed, because of the texture, but what with? And then of course it struck me - Malibu - the scent led me by my nose to my teenage years.
Malibu. When was the last time you tasted Malibu? Well, rest assured, in this dish it's absolutely delicious, as long as you like coconut and pineapple.
