Finally made it over to LASA® on the Upper Newtownards Road and had such a good chat with Liz, the owner, about the story behind the restaurant.

The food was honestly unreal. The adobo pork belly rib was ridiculously tender, the Ah-Li-Ma-Ngo was probably my favourite with that crispy soft shell crab and spicy calamansi vinaigrette, and the Dynamite spring rolls… yeah, they were spicy 😂

The Filipino fries were also way too easy to keep eating. That tocino glaze with the calamansi aioli just worked.

You can really tell there’s a lot of love behind what they’re doing at Lasa. Definitely one I’ll be back to.

I recently sat down with Nina to hear more about her story, the people behind Thaisiambelfast and why she wanted to bring proper, authentic Thai food to Belfast.

Of course, I had to try some of the food while I was there.
We started with the Sai Ua, a homemade Northern Thai sausage packed with pork, lemongrass and chilli. Fair warning, this was seriously spicy, but the amount of flavour and fragrant herbs running through it was unreal.

Next was the Khao Soi G*i, which might genuinely be one of my favourite noodle dishes in Belfast. You’ve got the rich, creamy curry broth, tender chicken, soft egg noodles underneath and crispy noodles on top for that extra crunch.
But the real standout for me was the pineapple fried rice. Served in a fresh pineapple shell and loaded with seafood, cashews, raisins and sweet pineapple, every bite was packed with flavour. The balance of sweet, savoury and that smoky wok flavour was so good. If you only order one thing, make it this.

We also tried the Pa Lee Suan, Chicken Pad Thai and finished with the Massaman Curry with prawns, which was rich, nutty and seriously comforting.

What I really enjoyed though was sitting down with Nina and hearing more about the story behind Thai Siam. You can tell how much passion goes into the food and how important it is to the team to bring a proper taste of Thailand to Belfast.

Definitely one to add to your list.

Got to sit down and have a chat with Johnny, the owner of Ginza Kitchen , and honestly, what a lovely guy. He’s got such a great story behind the restaurant and you can just tell how much this place means to him.

Obviously, we had to try some food too 😂 Their special Spicy Combo Ramen was so good. I’ve had their original Ginza Special Pork Tonkotsu before as well, and honestly, that’s also up there for me.

And it would’ve been rude not to try some of their special rolls. Really enjoyed the Spider Crab Roll and the Red Dragon, both packed with flavour. The salmon sashimi was also a really good size and super fresh.

But I need to talk about the chicken karaage because I genuinely don’t know how they do it… crispy on the outside, but somehow still so soft and ridiculously juicy inside. Honestly, it’s definitely a contender for one of the best chicken karaage in Belfast for me.

Couldn’t speak any more highly of this place. Great food, but meeting Johnny and hearing his story just made me appreciate Ginza Kitchen even more. Definitely one you need to check out if you haven’t already.

Had such a nice chat with Lance, the owner of Federicos and hearing the story behind the cafe made the visit even more special.

It all started at the Barrio Fiesta, where his mum began baking Filipino favourites like buko pie and egg custard pies. Then, sadly, their grandad passed away during Covid, so they decided to name the cafe Federicos after him.

I tried the Manila Breakfast, beef tapas, and finished with an oat latte and a Filipino cookie.

The food was really comforting, but honestly, I loved hearing the story behind the place just as much. You can tell there’s a lot of family and meaning behind Federicos, and I’m glad I got to experience it for myself.

If you’re around Botanic and fancy some Korean food, I found this little spot inside Ecofreshfood called arisukoreanfood

I tried the sausage kimbap, beef japchae and the Korean spicy sauce wings, and honestly everything was so comforting. The sausage kimbap was probably my favourite, especially with that mix of savoury sausage, rice and seaweed.

The wings had a proper kick though 😂 and the japchae was exactly what I wanted — chewy noodles, savoury beef and that slightly sweet sauce.

Definitely one I’d go back to when I’m craving a quick Korean snack in Belfast.

First time trying Teppan 3 and honestly, I had such a good time.

I’ve done teppanyaki before, but there’s always something fun about sitting around the grill and watching the chef cook everything right in front of you. Add in the knife tricks, fire show and getting involved yourself and it makes the whole dinner feel a bit more interactive.

I tried flipping an egg onto my hat and completely failed, but somehow managed to catch one in my mouth, so I’ll take that 😂

Food wise, the soft shell crab was probably my favourite, but I really enjoyed trying everything. Lots of different textures and flavours throughout.

It was just a really fun evening, and I’d definitely go back for the food and the whole experience.

Run by Kevin & Eunique, this family-run spot in Belfast is serving up some seriously comforting asian food, and their homemade garlic sausages are a must-try.

I went for the Garlic Longsilog, with their garlicky, slightly sweet sausages, fluffy garlic rice, fried egg and all the fresh sides. I also had to try their Beef Pares, which was ridiculously tender and packed with that rich, savoury-sweet sauce.

Proper home-style Filipino food, and definitely one to add to your Belfast food list 👀
