Good Morning Lovelies, 

Last night, the blog was kindly invited back to one of our favourite restaurants to sample the dishes at their newest venue! Based in the heart of Spitalfields in London, Tigermilk have brought their dishes to the hub of the city to delight even more tastebuds. Something we are certain they will do, after we sampled a whole host of them. 

Upon arriving at the venue, we were left in awe again at the beauty of the venue. Each room transported us to sunny climates, which matched the hot weather outside perfectly. It felt like each dish was being brought to life thanks to the way in which the rooms looked. Seated close to a window, we were able to feel the heat on our skin whilst selecting our first dishes and drinks, under the guidance of our lovely hostess. 

Deciding to go all out on our drinks, we reached for the cocktail menu. Looking for something a little bit different, we went with the wonderfully pink Margarita Azteca (£10.50), which included tequila and sweet hibiscus, as well as Oaxacan Negroni (£12.50). Both drinks were perfect palate cleansers, as they weren’t too strong and provided us with the perfect mix of sweet and sour. You couldn’t drink them too fast either, which meant that they didn’t fill us up before our meals, which began in a very crisp way. 

Opting for a light bite to begin with, we started with the Guacamole (£7.50), which came lightly spiced and with the most beautifully crisp tortilla nachos. Sharing them between us, we couldn’t help but all agree that the guacamole got better with each bite. The mix of the soft avocado and the hints of spice worked perfectly to make a real fire on our tongues. It was safe to say that by this point we were ready to tuck into the main dishes. 

Having been inspired by the fun name, we decided that if we were going to opt for meaty mains, then we wanted to give the fish a sample in some way. Therefore, we both chose the Tuna Turner (£7.90 each) starter. Made up of marinated tuna, a corn tostada, more of the beautiful guacamole, aji verde sauce and fresh pickled red onions and coriander, the tuna slid down with ease. Each bite got better and better, as the components came together to fight to come out on top. Something that each one of them did at one point. 

For a starter, the dish was plentiful but not too filling that we weren’t able to eat our mains. In fact, the starter prepared us for what was to come next. Although we had both thought we would go for meaty mains, we were so in awe of the fish from the starter that we decided to order three mains to share between us. One being a fish base, one a meaty based one and the other being a lighter side that worked with both. 

Scanning the menu, we opted first for one of the restaurant's signature dishes, the Coco Loco Ceviches. Priced at £19.50, the main was made of the most gorgeous pink delights. Fresh pollock merged in with the creamiest of coconut leche and the most delightful red onions and fresh fruits including mango and pomegranate, it provided a savoury base that would delight any sweet tooth too. Trying to take it slowly when eating was the hardest thing to do, as it became more and more moorish with each bite. 

However, we took it slowly between us, as we also had the most beautiful meat based meal to share between us too. Having chosen two other mains that were made up of beef, we had also opted for the Carnitas Quesadilla (£17.50) and the Tataki Wagyu Al Algave (£29.50). Tucking into the Tataki plate first, we were enchanted by the wagyu meat, which had been grilled and marinated to pur perfection.
