Editor’s note: BBC Asian Bar and Cafe has closed.
Think salads are the consolation prize for vegetarians and waistline watchers? Then you haven’t had the Chef Salad at BBC Asian Bar and Cafe. This sweet and spicy starter is salad in its greatest form: Tender marinated squid, warm mushrooms, juicy cucumbers, crisp kaiware sprouts and spicy mayonnaise all come together to deliver bold Asian flavors and an eclectic fusion of textures. So grab your chopsticks and dig in. This should prove once and for all that great salads really do exist.
