Kirin Ichiban Beer And Feng Sushi: A Match Made In Umami Heaven

Posted on by

This June celebrate one of the original and healthiest fast foods with International Sushi Day on Wednesday 18th June with a luxury sushi platter from Feng Sushi alongside an ice-cold Kirin Ichiban beer.

We were thrown at just how amazing the platter was. The sushi is amazing, high quality with something for everyone. The salmon was amazing, there was a great mixture of avocado and sushi and the salty edamame beans were also a joy. The platter retails at £29.75 and we thought it was a bargain considering how many people it feeds -2-to-4- and just how delicious it was. Now that we know just how amazing Feng Sushi in Fulham is, we will definitely be wanting more.

This is what the men had to say about the beer because, cliche alert, none of the women like beer: “The beer was pure, smooth, crisp and of the highest quality. It was a delight. One of the best beers I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend trying it, I will certainly be buying some more.” So it is safe to say we are fans of both the sushi and the beer.

Beer is a fantastic match for sushi as the pairing emphasises umami, the mysterious fifth flavour that adds a moreish savoury note. Soy sauce, seaweed and the fish itself are all sources of umami, which are heightened by the crisp, pure notes of Kirin Ichiban, acting as a palate cleanser to tone down the spicy wasabi kick.  The beer’s rich flavour and deep, smooth finish also complement the delicately flavoured sushi and salty edamame beans.

Kirin Ichiban is the world’s only 100% malt beer produced from the unique Shibori process where just the first pressing of the ingredients is used, unlike other lagers which are pressed and re-pressed. The result is one of the world’s crispest, richest and purest beers with a rich flavour and no bitter aftertaste. The beer shows citrus aromas with an initial, crisp refreshing bite, leading to a surprising depth of flavour and an intensely satisfying, clean finish.

Feng Sushi’s classic patter comprises of 30 pieces of fresh sushi, including mean spicy tuna roll, MSC king prawn tempura roll, salmon mizuna and chive roll, salmon nigiri, seared salmon sashimi and salty edamame. The platter is available to order online for £29.75, with two bottles of Kirin Ichiban for £7.50.

Heaven Bee Venom Mask Review

Posted on by

Heaven BEE VENOM face mask reviewWhen I am tired, dehydrated or run down I get these horrible little lines on my forehead. If I drink some water and get some sleep they disappear but I am getting more worried about them becoming permanent. It’s easy to think aging is okay when you are in your early-twenties or teens (Hello 23-year-old Emma Watson) but I am in my late-twenties now and aging is less fun when it is actually happening to you. I have always been told I look younger than my age and I want to keep it that way.

I would never have cosmetic surgery and I promised my other half that I would never have botox (which may turn out to be a regret), so reviewing nature’s alternative to Botulinum Toxin, Deborah Mitchell’s Heaven Bee Venom Mask, was definitely quite exciting. I also met Deborah and had a nice chat with her, she has great skin and is very inspirational.

Heaven Bee Venom Mask is the first product of its kind. This unique product has been specially created using natural and organic ingredients, combined to work in synergy for an instant anti-ageing effect

Containing Manuka Honey, renowned for its soothing and healing properties, it also contains the magic Bee Venom ingredient that works to control the facial muscles for immediate lifting, tightening and firming, whilst getting to work on frown lines and wrinkles

Bee Venom Mask also contains ingredients of softening and calming Shea Butter, Rose and Lavender essential oils.

I reviewed this in two ways: one: I used it as a proper face mask. On for 20 minutes and then rinse off. Two: I put it on top of my moisturiser and leave it on.

After using it as a proper face mask my skin looks great and feels smooth. I also see a difference when putting it on top of my moisturiser. It doesn’t numb the area you put it on or feel weird, it is just like a light moisturiser and smells lovely too.

I have only been using this for a few weeks and will do an update in another few weeks. So far I am impressed. It smooths out the skin and leaves it radiant. It smells great too. So far, I am a fan.

One Night in Heaven

RC Theatre Productions presents Don Giovanni, The Opera, at Heaven

Those of you who remember the 1980s will find much nostalgia in this highly original reworking of Mozart’s Don Giovanni.  Richard Crichton’s production aims Mozart at a new audience and reinvents Don Giovanni himself as a gay, debauched playboy and nightclub owner in the heady world of the 1980s.

Cleo Pettit’s set is the first thing you notice on entering the club, and straightaway you are conveyed to 1987, the time being marked by various graphics of the period, including a conservative party campaign poster, film posters for Dirty Dancing and The Running Man, and a mock up of the Thames Television ident (5 years before they lost the franchise to Carlton).  The evocation of the era is also greatly aided by the costumes, designed by Mia Flodquist, with the assistance of Samantha Gilsenan, which show great attention to detail.  Two personal favourites of mine were Marina’s white lace boots, and Leo’s office handbag.  Finally, the hair and makeup by Evan Huang also helped to set the scene.

All gender roles in the opera have been reversed apart from the Don himself (now just Don), and the relocation of the sexual roles works very well.  Don’s pursuit of an endless series of sexual adventures and his indulgence in sensuality of all kinds lends itself to a gay world as readily as to a heterosexual one, and the addition of the late 80s drug scene adds further to the moral ambiguity of the story (although they have pre-empted the use of Viagra by more than a decade!).  The opera is performed in a new English translation by Ranjit Bolt, though I imagine the translation is far from literal.  Said to be inspired by New York’s legendary Studio 54 and Matthew Bourne’s all-male Swan Lake, the production seemed to draw ideas from many quarters.  In the early part of the story, Don reminded me of the character of Stuart in Queer as Folk, with broken hearts strewn left, right and centre; a later scene, where he is corrupting Milton Keynes sweethearts Zak and Marina, was evocative of the Rocky Horror Picture Show; but as the show progressed, and the libretto got more outrageous, it was reminiscent of the musical humour of the wonderful Avenue Q.

Musically, the opera was a delight.  The orchestra were tight, and played exceedingly well despite taking the time to laugh at some of the more amusing parts of the libretto.  Some interesting variation was provided by a disco backing track at one point (an adaptation of the Minuet by Vince Clarke), and Don accompanying himself on an acoustic guitar at another.  All the cast gave excellent performances as actors as well as singers: vocally my favourites were Mark Cunningham (Eddie) and Stephanie Edwards (Olivia) who both entranced me with their voices, though Duncan Rock, (Don) and Helen Winter (Marina) were also marvellous.

Don Giovanni kept its energy high throughout, and I assume this is a testament to the skills of director Dominic Gray.  The ending was a bit ambiguous – I wasn’t quite sure where Don ended up – but this in no way took away from my enjoyment of the evening; which ended with a blast of Falco’s Amadeus, thus tying the opera and the 80s together and rounding everything off nicely.  I highly recommend this inventive, capricious, laugh-out-loud, libidinous, and euphonious entertainment.  Catch it while you can – and look out for a surprise cameo from a famous camp disco group!

Don Giovanni is at Heaven, Under The Arches, Villiers Street, London WC2N 6NG on the following dates: Sunday 22 April, 5pm, Monday 23 April, 7pm, Sunday 29 April, 5pm, Monday 30 April, 7pm.  Tickets can be purchased from http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/venueartist/254189/1677123?camefrom=CFC_UK_TH0401_WEBLINK
