Dreaming of the wontons and matcha tiramisu 🥟 one of the quickest edits I’ve turned around after eating a Sunday lunch at @ling_lings_ today! I’ve tried to get a table for their famous Sunday roasts (but it gets booked out so quickly!) and I can’t believe it’s taken me THIS long to finally try Jenny and Shep’s food but it’s well worth the wait. As always, unless clearly stated, I’m a happy paying customer! As a full time food and travel creator, firmly believe that we should put our money where our mouth is (literally) and support locally-owned independent places as much as possible! I then shout out the ones I love the most on my feed! :)) Taking inspiration from Jenny’s Cantonese and Vietnamese upbringing (also a fellow takeaway kid!) the changing menu has a “no rules” approach to modern pan-Asian flavours encompassing well loved flavours from Cantonese, Sichuan, Vietnamese and Korean cuisine with a twist. Expect lots of texture, lots of umami and comfort home-style cooking (big big big portions). #londonfood #chinesefood #londonrestaurant #cantonesefood #asianfood

Godet, with its peachy-pink walls and candlelit wooden booths, is the sort of moody wine pub that you could spend hours in – especially when there’s crispy wontons and gochujang cauliflower on the menu. If you haven’t yet visited Jenny Phung’s Ling Ling’s residency, go before it’s too late. Read more at the link in bio.

Save this as your next date night spot! @ling_lings_ is the latest residency to take over Islington wine pub @godetlondon , a Cantonese-inspired supper club specialising in contemporary Chinese cooking. Islington locals and beyond have quickly fallen in love with Jenny Phung’s family-style food - and we can see why. This charming wine bar offers a cool, low-key setting to enjoy some of the most exciting Chinese cookery in the capital right now. We’re talking: 🔸Bavette steak with wasabi beetroot 🔸Crunchy fried pork and water chestnut wontons 🔸Gochujang cauliflower with black bean chilli oil 🔸Glass skin chicken with shimeji mushrooms Godet also comes with a great craft beer selection, curated wine list and vinyl sound system - all the ingredients for a romantic date night. The residency ends in October (get over there NOW!) and stay tuned for our review - coming very soon. #restaurant #chineserestaurant #restaurantresidency #residency #londonrestaurant

What I’ve been eating to get through the first 5 weeks of Godet. WOW thank you so much to everyone’s who come to eat and drink with us. Apologies for the mental Fridays & the wait on food sometimes - we have the tiniest kitchen but we are working on it everyday to improve on it!! Last week we lost one of our fryers just before service so that was fun. Cooking is just problem solving every day I tell you. Some food I’ve eaten from Blankita’s beef soup and their hot sauce. Their hot sauce is the punch you need when you’re so tired and need collagen and spice owww. They’re taking over Tottenham and I 🩷 it. I’ve been cooking so much more for myself so that means noodles soups all the time yay! Honestly don’t think anything else could heal me better & faster. Now my bus to and from work takes me through green lanes means lentil soup all the time. I can not believe it’s taken me to this year today to discover this soup!! Wow LOVE! Managed to go see friends one Monday (very proud of my myself) got to eat @chavdartodorov @slowburnlondon beautiful cured tuna with green harissa. Everyone was talking whilst I was stealing a lot of bites. Got to eat @theandrewha grandma’s pho which was light and refreshing!! I need to play that game again!! I’ll bring food to the next one - I arrived empty handed and felt terrrriblle about it. Tiredness makes you forget all etiquette - damn. Won’t describe the rest but every week we are getting more organised, running service more fluidly and have welcomed two more members to the team. YAY 🥳 See you all this week we are ready to cook for you all xxx

One of the boldest plates from @ling_lings_ at Godet. Tender octopus meets the crunch and tang of pickled mustard stem, finished with a hit of fragrant lime leaf oil. Fresh, punchy, and made for sharing. Book a table or just drop in. 🍽️ Weds–Fri 5–10pm, Sat 3–10pm, Sun 3–8pm 📍 382 Essex Road, N1 🔗 Book via link in bio . . . 📷 @jwhowardphoto #LingLingsLondon #OctopusDish #IslingtonEats #EssexRoad #LondonFoodie

Ling Ling’s Jenny Phung partly built a name for herself on roasts – but you won’t find them at her new long-term residency at Godet in Islington. Instead, you’ll dine on aromatic duck salad and Sichuan hibiscus octopus, as well as a soon-to-drop Cantonese-style Sunday lunch menu. Read more at the link in bio.
