Over the next four months, London chefs Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich of Honey & Co, Ana Gonçalves and Zijun Meng of Tata Eatery, Emily and Amy Chung of The Rangoon Sisters, and Owen Barratt of Monty’s Deli are all set to create limited-edition blackboard udon specials, available exclusively at Koya Ko in Hackney.
Reflecting their own unique culinary style, the chefs’ udon creations are available as rotating specials at the east London restaurant, each for a limited month-long period.
The upcoming four dishes encompass global flavours, putting a unique spin on Shuko’s authentic Japanese udon base.
The Honey & Co. duo have put together a Middle Eastern-inspired dish featuring tahini, pickled cucumber and chilli; Portuguese-born Ana Gonçalves’s background has inspired an Iberian twist featuring salted cod; Owen Barratt is channelling Jewish soul food with a beef rib and mustard greens udon, while The Rangoon Sisters have paid homage to their Burmese heritage with twist on a traditional breakfast dish.
Dishes include, in order:
Emily and Amy Chung (The Rangoon Sisters) – Nangyi thoke Burmese udon
Sarit Packer & Itamar Srulovich (Honey & Co.) – Pickled cucumber, shredded cabbage, tahini, sesame and chilli udon
Owen Barratt (Monty’s Deli) – Beef rib udon with mustard greens, spring onion and grated ginger
Ana Gonçalves and Zijun Meng (Tata Eatery) – Salted cod, fried straw potatoes, egg and onion udon
Koya will announce the next in the series via its Koya Ko Instagram account (@koyako_london).
