Favourite Asian Cuisine:
Indian food is my all-time favourite, nothing beats a freshly made, authentic curry. I also love Japanese and Chinese cuisine, especially when it’s cooked with real tradition and care.
One of my favourite spots is the Noodle Bar in Lancaster, a cosy restaurant with an oriental shop underneath, a hidden gem that always feels both comforting and exciting.
