Next on the roster of 10 events to mark my decade in blogging, is another tasty team up. This time round, I’m collaborating with one of my favourite supper club chefs, Malaysian Home Cooking superstar Vi Vian Woo! Together, Ms Woo and I have created a menu combining American Deep South indulgence with flavoursome Far East flair. For one night only in sultry July, we’ll proudly present our #DeepSouthFarEast pop-up at one of Clerkenwell’s coolest bars, Ninth Ward.
The exclusive event will be limited to only around 25 guests. Vi Vian and me alongside the staff at the bar will receive each guest with a complimentary Bourbon cocktail before presenting our sumptuous feast, served family style at long communal tables in Ninth Ward’s atmospheric dining room featuring reclaimed wood, repurposed industrial fittings, and an eclectic collection of voodoo accoutrements.
Comfort food classics from the American South get a Malaysian makeover at a Clerkenwell pop-up celebrating the 10th anniversary of award-winning blog, tikichris.
The occasion invites guests to go Deep South and Far East for a shiok-er of a meal seeing popular Malaysian Home Cooking supper club host, Vi Vian Woo, team up with blogger Chris Osburn to stage a one-off feast fusing the fiery sophistication of Malaysian cuisine with the indulgent traditions of the American South.

That mac and cheese sounds amazing. I love finding nice variations of my favourite comfort foods.
It’s going to be so good! Thanks for your comment.
Ten years of blogging takes some doing. Well done. I’ve been going for just over 7 and that seems like a lifetime. I’ve never been to a pop-up and would love to attend one. We don’t have that many in our neck of the woods.
Thank you! Maybe you can do your own pop-up?
