Blog Post By Umami Muktuk And Tiger Nuts
"This was certainly no ordinary meal, we were treated to a seven course extravaganza, with a tiny team of two presenting the thrity assembled guests with plate after plate of fantastic food".
The Aftertease Revisted
"The real beauty of Simon and Uyen’s food is that it’s so fresh and full of taste! I’m in complete awe of how they manage to shoehorn so much flavour into what are in essence fairly uncomplicated dishes. It’s honest food, the kind of food that you can’t hide behind. I can say, hand on heart, that I would choose a meal at the Fernandez and Leluu Supper Club over the showy foams and emulsions offered in eateries like the Dorchester or L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon any day of the week."
The Aftertease
"Well…what can I say…I have fallen in love with the Fernandez and Leluu Supper club and will most definitely be returning if they’ll have me back. I was totally amazed at the professional standard of the food being produced in what was in reality a fairly small non commercial kitchen. We all commented on the quality of the food - there had definitely been no expense spared on ingredients and it was worth every penny of my donation. I believe that that standard of food can only be produced by people who fully appreciate, understand and have an all encompassing passion for food and I have come away from my first supper club experience completely and utterly inspired!"

Kristen:
"I just wanted to drop a quick email thank you to you guys for such a lovely night last night. We really loved the experience and the food was amazing! It was all sublime but I have never had anything like that purple dip that went with the bread at the beginning. The colour and taste just blew us away. What was that??? Recipe?? Or is that a trade secret...
Great experience and so happy to have finally got the “nerve” to try a supper club. I think not having to choose your meal and being surprised was fantastic."
Stephanie:
"thankyou for a wonderful evening. the food was exquisite and the night was fabulous we both had a great time. thankyou so much and we hope to see you again soon."
David:
"...We had the most amazing time and your food was extraordinary, I personally really loved the Lemongrass & Rainbow Trout Soup With Glass Noodles, Pak Choi, Corriander & King Prawn, do you ever give out the recipes? Anyway, thanks again, we're already planning to come back!"
Stasa:
"You must be in the kitchen prepping away for another feast tonight. Thank you so much for such lovely food yesterday!! Our favorites were: beetroot dip, pea soup, vegetable terrine and the rainbow trout soup (would you share the recipe for this one?) Absolutely delicious!!!"
Dana:
"Thanks for a lovely evening - the food was scrumptious and the ambience & company so enjoyable. You two work so hard - I really admire it and think you're doing very well."

They were told on no uncertain terms that they had better turn up after having accepted the invitation! Am so pleased that you are gaining a bigger and bigger reputation - I hope both of you keep enjoying the good work. :)
P.S. The ham and fig mouthfuls were a delightful combination".

Hayley: (From Qype Reviews)
"Now that I have experienced the full Fernandez & Leluu supper club experience I thought I would pop back and do a quick update to my review.
'WOW' is probably the best word to sum it up. I'd never been to a supper club before so I didn't really know what to expect, though having tasted some of Simon and Uyen's food before at the Qype / After Eight Jim Haynes event I knew that it would be to a high standard.
Let's just say I was not disappointed. The six courses were all absolutely delicious; in fact it baffles me how so much flavour can be packed into what could so easily be quite a simple little dish. I won't try and explain the intricacies of the menu as I could never do it justice, but here are the six courses we ate on our evening:
-Rice Pasta With Crispy Pork Belly & Cured Ham
-Beef Pho
-Chargrilled Lemongrass Pork Patties
-Seared Beef Salad With Lime, Coriander, Peanuts, Sugar Snap Peas & Chips
-Caramelised Catfish
-Coconut Sorbert
I must say I particulary enjoyed the Beef Pho (first time I had tried Pho - soooo tasty and more-ish) and the seared beef salad, which was accompanied by the most perfect bowl of chips I have ever tasted.
As ever, the hospitality was spot on and all of our fellow diners were very lovely and laid-back.
I wish I could give them six stars."
Nathan: "Thanks again for another brilliant nite!! Really appreciate you guys leaving out the garlic where poss for my Sis, who had a Fab time".

I'm not sure it would have been so much fun for me if R and I had been stuck on a table for two in the corner, and god knows it would have been less fun for her...Compliments to the chef!"

"A quick thanks for a fantastic evening - Uyen, Simon, the food was simply wonderful!"
Michael:
"Thanks so much for a great evening. We particularly enjoyed the monkfish main with the squid ink risotto. Not so sure about the garlic soup though- will give that another go to see if it's a taste that can be acquired. Some coffee at the end would have been nice, but the taste of the cardamom icecream was a winner."

Lovina:
"Thank you for opening your home to us. It was certainly one of the most enjoyable dinner experiences we've had for a long time and P perked right up even though he was feeling really under the weather that day. I think you guys are brave to take on this venture and hope you will keep it up. I will be keeping an eye out on your future menus, especially the Vietnamese cuisine nights."
Chris:
"thanks so much for the other night, we had a lovely time and the food was fantastic - I especially enjoyed the sausage in cider and the chick peas"
Eva:
"Thanks for supper club, i loved the food and met some really nice people, it was funny; there was only a slight bit of kind-of-blind-date awkwardness at the beginning when we introduced ourselves but the rest of the night it was just like eating with old friends. I would definitely like to come again "
