Southampton: where to eat during the Boat Show?



Southampton Boat Show

The big night out, or a sneaky lunch break



 Lakaz Mamam
Mauritian street food, brought to us lucky Southamptoners by ex Masterchef winner Shelina Permalloo. Wonderful, friendly staff, a congenial atmosphere and a menu you need to slowly work through, top to bottom. Great vegan choices too, the butterbean curry being a winner.

My favourites?

The prawn dippers and samosas

The prawn dippers, crunchy outer casing, succulent plump prawn within.
All the rotis, but particularly the King Prawn Rougaille
The ‘Magic Bowl’ chicken and prawn sort of chop suey, Malay style, with lovely fried egg atop – perfect lunch stop. Veggie options always available.

The Coco Bun, cool coconut ice cream in a light brioche style milk bun, but it’s the pool of salted caramel, pistachio nibs that add the fairy dust.
Fresh pineapple, but with the Lakaz Maman makeover
Mango, lime and chocolate slice …….just go with a big group and try them all.

Mango, lime and chocolate slice
and finally - the coco bun - magnificent!
