FOOD & DR INK

29 Xiao long bao soup dumplings at Noodles Plus. Proceed with extreme caution, and think about

wearing a bib. 30

Grilled ham and cheese sandwich with pickles and beetroot salad, Cafe Foy’s finest. 31 Sala Thong’s spicy, salty, sweet and sour som tam salad. 32 Eight pieces of nigiri, 12 pieces of hosomaki – Japas Sushi’s Jo set: a Sunday night staple for a very long time. 33 Afternoon Tease remains much missed for a great many reasons, for me the cheese scone is right at the top of that list… 34 ...closely followed by the chocolate Guinness cake. 35 A Pavitt’s Pie (any flavour).

36 The Gardenia has, quite rightly, been an institution for decades. The chicken souvlaki explains why. 37 Half a Fitzbillies chelsea bun. Offer the other half to a loved one. 38 A flat white and an exercise in the art of conversation – from the brilliant Dom at Rubiaceae. 39 Leftover doughnuts and way too much salted caramel dipping sauce eaten after service in the kitchen at The Hole in the Wall. 40 Banana Leaf’s plate-sized dosa filled with potato masala.

41 Several ridiculously cheap – and delicious – pints of locally brewed beer at the St Radegund. 42 A Gog’s scotch egg. 43 A squidgy, ripe and runny goat’s cheese, a bowl of rillettes and a side of cornichons from The Cambridge Cheese Company. 44 Slices of Stir Bakery’s toasted sourdough and plenty of

salted butter. 45

An americano from Cambridge’s original barista, the Caffè Mobile (to remind me of student days).
