One of the best chefs in London is starting a new residency this week

It’s a match made in culinary heaven: Godet, one of London’s best wine bars, is welcoming one of London’s top chefs for a year-long residency. 

Kicking off on October 8, Ling Ling’s will be serving up their Chinese and pan-Asian menu at the Islington venue for the next 12 months. The menu will include new dishes including hot and spicy tartare, Sichuan hibiscus octopus and turnip cakes with a soy pomegranate glaze, and mala beef ragu with udon noodles, as well as steamed prawn, chicken and Thai basil wontons and matcha tiramisu.  

Ling Ling’s, which is headed up by chef Jenny Phung, has previously held residencies at the much-missed Hackney pub The Gun, as well as The Bluecoats in Tottenham, and Bambi in London Fields. 

Though Ling Ling’s are known for their Sunday roasts, they’ll be trying something a little different to close out the weekend at Godet. Launching in November, they’ll be serving a traditional Chinese family meal every Sunday. 

Other dishes on the menu include Carlingford oysters with orange sambal and curry leaf, Hot, 'Caesar’ salad with fried chicken and parmesan, Dad’s aromatic duck salad with house hoi sin, bitter leaves and herbs, and glass skin chicken with shimeji mushrooms and Thai basil. 

Ling Ling’s will be in the kitchen at Godet from 5-10pm every Wednesday to Friday and from 3pm on Saturdays and 3-8pm on Sundays.
