Red sky in morning, Cottage Pie.

I thought I would just quickly list the differences between similar recipes or sounding dishes as they are sometimes the centre of frivolous office debate.

Shepherd's Pie - only made from lamb or mutton eg the meat comes from a sheep
Cottage Pie - made with mince or any other meat

Quiche - mainly egg or cheese based and savoury. Pastry based.
Flan - more custard or souffle based. Can be sweet or savoury. Can be sponge or pastry based.

This is situated half way along Chinatown. I was given this as a recommendation from someone who had found my fong.co.uk web site about other restaurants.

This place brings Japanese, Chinese and Thai cuisine together. Very handy if you have a group of people who like sushi, noodles, dim sum and spicy Thai food but maybe not all liking the same thing. There seems to be something for everyone.

Do you want to know what to drink, the best bottles, cocktail recipes and a bit of history? These people, Diffords Guide formerly known as Sauce Guide, do fantastic thick magazine-type publications that are stylish, informative, comprehensive and witty.

They are fit enough to grace any discerning cofffee table or bookshelf. I tend to only find them at outlets such as Borders that have a more eclectic range of publications.

Nothing about wine in these things though. Just the hard stuff.
