Locals

Jenny Phung is the founder of Ling Ling’s, currently cooking up a storm at Godet's in Islington, which draws heavily on her family's Chinese heritage to influence the ingredients and flavours. We asked Jenny to take us on a tour of her fave spots in London for Asian cuisine, and we were treated to an insider's guide to the region's best cooking.

DIM SUM & DUCK

SINGBURI

"Singburi is my fave Thai place in London but to get a booking is like gold dust so I think adds to how much you will savour each meal."

LOTUS GARDEN

"Lotus Garden is my go to fo unpretentious dim sum and always delivers a hearty wholesome lunch. It's full of memories for me as I've been going for years."

— Jenny Phung

DOTORI

"Dotori in Finsbury Park is my fave Korean restaurant North London. It's an institution for a reason, cooking up the most affordable and generous portions of homely food. I love the seafood pancake."

— Jenny Phung

KOYA CITY

"I go to Koya for a nourishing bowl of hand made udon. The light clear broths are always my go-to ones to choose and it leaves you feeling like you've just eaten something so good for you. Love that feeling! Also the perfectly fried tempura are so beautiful."

— Jenny Phung

KILN

"The dishes at Kiln are well executed and the veggies/salads are delightful. It's made me want to cook cabbage again even in summer!"

— Jenny Phung

MISATO

"Misato is my old school cheap eats haunt from back in my uni days. A massive plate of chicken katsu curry that will fill you up all night before heading to ICA for the cheap cinema nights on Tuesdays were my fave nights in London."

— Jenny Phung

LO'S NOODLE FACTORY

"You can't buy noodles dishes from them but you can buy ready made cakes and pastries from them. Whilst you're there you should but the freshly made noodles. The texture is unbeatable!"

— Jenny Phung

PLEASANT LADY

"I love Pleasant Lady for a quick little lunch - you can customise the jian bing to your tastes, so it's perfect if you're feeling indecisive."

— Jenny Phung

SUSHI SHOW

"Sushi Show is great sushi shop in Angel and Bethnal Green. Fish is super fresh and I love the little specials they have."
