Filipino-born, Australian-raised John Javier was the mastermind behind Middle Eastern-inspired restaurant The Tent at the End of the Universe in Soho. Now, he's chef-in-residence at Caia on west London's buzzy Golborne Road. We asked him for his fave London spots, and he gave us this list of classic bangers. From Kiln to Singburi, it's a flavour bomb-filled selection.
