Hibiscus Restaurant

We were full of anticipation to try the long awaited 2 star Hibiscus Restaurant. Rocking up in the classic London cab, we were surprised with the bland facade of the restaurant. Stepping in, there was not much different from the outside. So the decor and decoration are boring and uninspiring, but we are here more importantly for the food. Bring on the blind tasting menu and blow me away. 1 course, 2 course, 3 course passes with each course hacking away at the expectations we had of the restaurant. Being the optimist, I am still waiting for that 1 course that I can still say... it was worth it. It was like buying your lotto ticket, you are full of hope and when the results come out you find out that it is all over and you are out of pocket. In this scenario, we were really really out of pocket. In contrast to the mood we came in when arriving in the black cab, we left in the same transport cursing our way shaking our heads.

Apologies from my food photographer. She had her day off. She did not miss out much.
