SEE IT, GET IT, BE HOT.

Topside: For the year we lived in England, my daughter, Sylvi, was an avid follower of a trendy e-magazine called HOTHOT. She loved exploring the latest in fashion, music, social events, and especially food. This enthusiasm led us to countless new restaurant adventures, as we often indulged her curiosity. Although initially upset when HOTHOT went offline, Sylvie quickly found a new e-magazine that captured her interest, keeping her up-to-date with the hottest trends.

While I personally found more excitement in the evolution of my own field, which involved staying updated with the latest technological advancements, Sylvie would often playfully dismiss my interests as "boring." Her world was one of vibrant trends and ever-changing styles, while mine was more about practical applications and innovations. Yet, in her eyes, nothing could top the flair and excitement brought by HOTHOT and its captivating coverage of the latest trends.

 



HOTHOT coolest places to dine

“Thou shalt have a fishy on a little dishy, thou shalt have a fishy when the boat comes in!’

Published Jun 4, 2014 by admin

Words: Rosie Roman

Summer’s here, and (hopefully) long sunny days are ahead of us. So, that means it’s time to leave behind the comforting, uninspiring stodge of Winter and adopt a lighter, Mediterranean-esque diet of all that is fishy! But you don’t have to jump ship and emigrate to truly taste the ocean. Look no further than London’s Simply Fish restaurants! The HOTHOT team, being huge fans of our aquatic friends, abandoned our office duties and recently ventured to Shoreditch’s Boxpark in search of some fishy culinary delights.

Simply Fish @Boxpark opened in March 2013 and is a little gem, tucked away in the depths of a 54-seat shipping container in the cool kid’s part of town. Using fresh fish sourced from sustainable Cornish fisheries and prepared as you like it, it is sure to satisfy all your seafood desires. Their mantra is all in the name: simplicity. Good, honest, affordable food served in a simple and functional interior with a hint of urban chic. (Why all restaurants haven’t got handy hidden cutlery drawers built into the tables is beyond us…)

We dived into an amuse-bouche of fried whitebait while we consulted the menu, which has a intriguing ‘pick your own’ element, as well as a small traditionally compiled menu of international delicacies. For starters, we opted for a selection of dishes including sea bass cerviche, marinated chilli prawns and chilli salt squid with soya and coconut sauce. And we couldn’t get enough! As well as being aesthetically pleasing, the dishes were mouth-wateringly delicious and we wouldn’t wait to tuck into our next course.

Although the indecisive people amongst us may find the experience of constructing your own dish a tad bit wearing, we thoroughly enjoyed it. So for mains, we decided to go for a ‘pick your own’ creation of pan fried sea bass, with citrus anchovy butter, sweet potato wedges and pak choi and 1kg of Cornish mussels in white wine and aioli sauce. Both were delicate and tasty, the complexity of the flavours anything but simple. However, if you’re a budding wine connoisseur, you may be disappointed by the brief selection of wines but we were perfectly satisfied with our accompaniment.

So, all in all, our evening went swimmingly! And afterwards, we even enjoyed a cheeky few drinks on Boxpark’s upper deck with our non-aquatic friends.

Main meals priced between £8.50 and £14.50

HOTHOT verdict: 9/10

Noviko restauatnt review

Published Feb 22, 2014 by admin

Words: Ray Cabby

Novikov, named after Russian restaurant guru Arkady Novikov, has become one of London’s most fashionable restaurants. The 540-seater establishment, including two restaurants and a lounge bar, is in a prime position in Mayfair. HOTHOT just had to see this for ourselves!

Walking through the revolving glass doors, you’re immediately confronted by a group of people lounging around the come-to reception area, a riot of sharp suits, tight dresses and champagne flutes. The Asian restaurant is on the left, the lounge bar downstairs, and the Italian restaurant straight ahead.

We were invited to the Asian restaurant; an amazing space, dark and soothing with a huge glass-walled kitchen and its very own ‘market bar’ displaying the days ‘catch on ice’. The massive open kitchen reveals dozens of chefs working furiously to fulfil orders, which is understandable when you see the menu: an oversized sheet detailing sushi, dim sum, wok dishes, barbecued dishes, vegetable dishes, salads, rice and noodles.

With so much to choose from we required help from our hugely impressive and efficient waitress. We tried a selection across the board and found the food exciting and mouth-wateringly tasty. We were tempted to order the most expensive steak ever seen on a menu – a Large ‘Wagyu’ Steak – but instead went with the famous Black Cod, a small portion of Wagyu Steak, Singapore noodles, expertly cooked King Scollops, and small Black Cod wrapped parcels. Thinking to ourselves this will be more than enough, we were encouraged to try more! So along came Yellow Tail, Tuna California roll and Pak Choi. This food is not only impressively tasty, but comes out looking like a piece of art!

The dessert was also just as good (we decided to share the chocolate cake with blood orange sorbet). Our waitress advised that jasmine tea would help us digest our food, and allow us to finally move from our table. Although the prices start high, then go higher there is such a wide selection to choose from and you really are served by top class staff, with top class food.

In Mayfair this is how they roll, very HOTHOT.

50a Berkeley Street, London W1, 020-7399 4330.

Open all week, Asian restaurant 7.30am-11.30pm (Italian restaurant 11.30am-11.30pm).

Red Dog Saloon is Hoxton’s answer to the Wild Wild West!

Published Mar 9, 2014 by admin

Words: Ray Cabby

The restaurant is buzzing! Situated in the corner of Hoxton Square, floods of people begin to gather outside. Already I begin to think that this must be one very popular restaurant, rarely seen in the East End of London. As we enter, we are greeted by the welcoming, energetic team and shown the way to our reserved booth.

The dining room sets the scene, with cracked-leather banquettes, loud American music, overhead fans turning lazily and pull-out lamps from the wall creating that mysterious, yet authentic atmosphere.

But it’s the food that sells the concept: slabs of food on heavy wooden plates are rubbed with barbecue spices then cooked slowly in the kitchen’s hickory-and-mesquite-burning smoker imported from the States. Burgers, made from 100% chuck steak, also feature lavishly on the menu, as well as classics such as pulled pork and BBQ ribs. We literally had it all plus on top we decided to go for side dishes including Mac & Cheese, French Fries, and Onion Rings. Like real Americans, we washed it all down in true style with bottled US beer, ‘Brooklyn’. The food was superb, cooked to perfection and impossible to fault in any way.

Considering this was a very busy Friday evening, the Red Dog Saloon team shone under pressure and were very helpful; this visit couldn’t have gone any smoother. Very polite waiters, who have extensive knowledge of the menu are always there when you need them.

If you’re brave enough and have a stomach of steel, then try the Hot Wings Challenge (made with fresh Napa Viper chilies)…we say no more!

Very HOTHOT

Vintage Hollywood Thinsoiation And The Perfect Figure

Ever wished you could get Audrey Hepburn’s elfin frame? Marilyn Monroe’s knock-out curves? Grace Kelly’s beautifully slim, trim waist? Then look no further than Hollywood Diet and Fitness.

Published Dec 14, 2014 by admin

Since the 1920s, when Hollywood’s first screen heroines began to set beauty standards for the world, stars (and their adoring fans) have been waging a war against weight and the ‘perfect’ figure (which, of course, does not exist – every woman is beautiful).

Hollywood has always been infatuated with the ideal woman, whether that was the rail-thin flapper girls of the 1920s or the curvy, wholesome beauties of the 1950s. With studio nutritionists, Hollywood-endorsed exercise gurus, and weight clauses in actresses’ contracts dominating their lives, the goddesses of the silver screen really had to work to be beautiful…

Filled with hints, tips and cautionary tales from the lips of the starlets themselves, Hollywood Diet and Fitness provides all the vintage inspiration you’ll ever need to build your own body beautiful. Written by Laura Slater, Hollywood Diet and Fitness turns back the clock to reveal exactly what went into building the most beautiful bodies on the silver screen.

It reveals the hardships and heartaches that actresses would endure to keep that Hollywood-approved figure. With expert opinions from modern dieticians and a chapter devoted to each decade from the roaring twenties to the flirtatious fifties, Hollywood Diet and Fitness reveals the slimming secrets of the screen sirens of yesteryear, and asks whether women really should have to suffer to be beautiful.

Featuring beautiful photographs and vintage imagery, Laura Slater collects some of the most amusing and alarming diet and fitness tips to come out of Tinseltown in this newest vintage compendium.

A lovely little retro read!

‘Nothing is worse for the waistline than slumping.’ – Audrey Hepburn

NEW ALBUM ‘GLITTERBUG’ TO BE RELEASED ON APRIL 6TH ON 14TH FLOOR RECORDS / WARNER BROS. RECORDS

Published Dec 18, 2014 by admin

The Wombats follow their Top 5 album ‘This Modern Glitch’ with the release of their third full-length ‘Glitterbug’ on April 6th via 14th Floor Records / Warner Bros. Records.

Produced by Mark Crew (Bastille) and The Wombats – frontman Matthew ‘Murph’ Murphy, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen and drummer Dan Haggis – the album’s themes were inspired by core songwriter Murph’s experiences in Los Angeles. Drawn to the city’s mix of “opulence and anxiety”, his songwriting for the album focused upon the idea of writing about a tumultuous relationship with a fictional woman from Los Angeles.

“That became the main inspiration for most of the songs, this false world that I’d created for myself,” he explains. “As time progressed, I’d go to L.A. more and more, and the idea kept on building.The album’s about the envy and the struggle and the pretence and the worry and the fear that L.A. – and every major city in the world – encompasses.”

Approximately halfway through the writing process, events conspired to curve full-circle from fiction into fact when Murph started dating a seemingly unattainable woman from the city. And so imaginary stories evolved into real life concerns: the fading embers of his relationship back in London and the challenges of maintaining a long distance relationship.

Instrumentally, most of the songs took one of two directions: back in Liverpool, bassist Tord and drummer Dan’s rush of creativity would result in them delivering backing tracks as a foundation for Murph to then build upon in L.A. or London; alternatively Murph would develop the essence of a song on guitar or piano for the band to collectively flesh out. Despite the initial geographic displacement of the trio, subsequent sessions at Mark Crew’s London studio demonstrated that The Wombats’ inter-band dynamics are as strong as ever before.

‘Greek Tragedy’ floats an East Asian-infused synth riff over booming, distorted drum beats, while another immediate stand-out, the uplifting ‘Give Me A Try’ (inspired by Murph’s blossoming new relationship) represents the band’s most positive lyric to date.

Other highlights include the elastic bass and pulsating disco rhythm that permeates throughout ‘Be Your Shadow’; the almost unrecognisably different ‘Emoticons’; and ‘This is Not A Party’which addresses Murph’s swing from celebratory hedonism to a borderline existential crisis over the course of some “fairly sizeable” nights out in the summer of 2013.

‘Glitterbug’ also features ‘Your Body Is A Weapon’, which was originally released as a free download for the band’s devoted fanbase. Premiered by Zane Lowe at Radio 1 and later included in his 100 Hottest Records of the Year, the track demonstrated their continuing popularity with over 2 million plays split between YouTube and SoundCloud.

This Modern Glitch’ saw The Wombats build on the initial success of their debut album as it became their highest charting album as it debuted at #3 in the UK. It also became their biggest international album to date – most notably in Australia where it peaked at #2 as it reached Platinum status.

In addition, ‘This Modern Glitch’ also launched some of their most popular singles so far such as ‘Techno Fan’, ‘Tokyo (Vampires and Wolves)’, ‘Jump Into The Fog’ (a Top 10 hit onBillboard’s Alternative Songs charts) and ‘Anti-D’. They subsequently headlined Lovebox and Wakestock, and were also a highlight of numerous other festivals including Glastonbury, V, Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Rockness, as well as a packed tent at Coachella and an arena tour of Australia.

The Wombats recently announced the following UK dates as part of a wider European tour that encompasses shows in a further ten countries:
