So here you have it…the post that took me 23 days to write…the 10 most delicious things I ate in 2009 (20 seemed excessive)…
- Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs at Grocery Kitchen
- The parmesean anchovy toasts at Le Cafe Anglais
- The fishcakes at Gordon Ramsay Plane Food
- Beef and oyster pie at Hix Oyster and Chophouse
- The char kway teow at Sedap. (I've been back for this dish. A lot.)
- A bacon, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast at the Billy Goat in Chicago
- Cheesecake at the London Review of Books Cakeshop
- The little prawns in their own little pots at L'ardoise in Paris
- The jar of quinoa, beetroot, smoked salmon and horseradish at The Shy Chef in Berlin. Horseradish is my new obsession.
- The langoustine and chablis soup at Liberty. In the basement Champagne bar.

Love your Grocery Kitchen find. Those unexpected simple pleasures at places no-one else is talking about are so often the best!
I am in love with Gordon Ramsay Plane Food. The mustard mash was awesome too, I had it with the fish cakes once.
I have so got to get to Cafe Anglais to try those toasts… yum!
For a year or so after T5 opened, the Plane Food fishcakes became an essential treat on frequent trips through Heathrow. Sadly, I came to the conclusion that the place had to hell in a handcart, but looking at the date of your original post (September?) I think the problem must be consistency. I’ve stopped visiting after two dreadful experiences – fishcakes which were oozing in grease, lacking in fish and, on the last occasion, so salty as to be inedible. A shame.
I had my doubts, but the fishcakes the day I visited were fantastic. Really.
Ahh, Sedap’s char koay teow is a constant reminder of the daily goodness I’m missing 10000 miles away…
Great post! Looking forward to the 2010 version.
