Our Regular Haunts: Favourite Local Restaurants in Tooting
When Melanie and I are faced with the classic question, “What do you fancy doing tonight?”, we often turn to our shortlist of tried-and-tested local spots. These restaurants have become our regular haunts for different reasons: sometimes it’s the food, other times it’s the atmosphere, or simply the fact that we’ve developed a friendship with the owner over the years. Not all of these are fine dining spots, but they each have a special place in our hearts. As we revisit these favourites, we’ll share more in-depth experiences about each. Rather than formal reviews, consider these reflections on what we love about them. Some of these places have been a…

To start, we couldn’t resist ordering one of our go-to dishes: the Dim Sum Platter. It’s always a highlight,…
