He sells cheap tat to the pre-2010s stereotype of an\nupper middle class \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffyummy mummy&#8217; who is glad to pay vastly inflated prices for\nsomething relatively worthless, so long as she believes it&#8217;s organic or\nresponsibly sourced or whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The setting of the sketch is what Pontcanna\nreminds me of now. Only the archetypal yummy mummies are often actually yummy\ndaddies \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffcause, well, it&#8217;s not 2008 anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8221; Pontcannonians are so middle class that they don&#8217;t see the need to go to work until Wednesday&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>To get to Pontcanna&#8217;s delicatessens, shops and\nboutiques, you fight your way through endless badly parked Porsches and\ngossiping stay-at-home parents milling about on the pavements only to find\nthat, if it&#8217;s a Monday or Tuesday, they&#8217;re all closed. Pontcannonians are so\nmiddle class that they don&#8217;t see the need to go to work until Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, the guys at Milkwood are hard-working sorts and stay open six days a week. They don&#8217;t open on Tuesday lunchtimes, admittedly, but at least they&#8217;re proletarian enough to turn up eventually, even if it is in the evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-facade-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-facade-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-facade-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-facade-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-facade-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-facade-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-facade-74x55.jpeg 74w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-facade-111x83.jpeg 111w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-facade-215x161.jpeg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The restaurant has made the Michelin Guide\nagain for 2020 and is described by both the tyre merchants and the restaurant\nthemselves as a modern British bistro with a variety of influences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And a variety there are. Milkwood&#8217;s two chefs\nwere trained in the same Italian kitchen, a fact borne out in the number of\nItalic classics found on the menu. But there&#8217;s a myriad of other cuisines\nchucked in there too. These stretch from the conspicuously Gallic confit duck\nto the less obviously placed pappardelle (also duck) which is, in fact, an\nAsian-Italian fusion. More on that dish later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet their wide range is not, to my mind, their\nstandout feature. In my opinion, it is their thrifty-as-heck lunch menu which\nwins them some brownie points; the <em>Plat\ndu Jour<\/em> if you fancy impressing your mates or dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8221; It wouldn&#8217;t be a bistro without being cheap&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;ll impress them even more if you decide\nto split the bill, is that for just \u252c\u00fa19 you can have three courses (\u252c\u00fa21 if you\nadd a glass of wine) of food that the Frenchies deem to be good enough to put\nin their guide. It wouldn&#8217;t be a bistro without being cheap, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, in the post-festive poverty of January, the\npartner and I decided to get some bang for our bucks. We initially tried a\nwalk-in on a Monday. Then on a Tuesday. Enraged at the bourgeoisie, we just\nbooked in for a Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interior is a relaxed and airy affair.\nTall, white walls, a huge frontage window harbouring some jaunty hanging lamps\nand a great big art deco bar that would&#8217;ve been right at home in <em>The Great Gatsby<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First course was a ramekin of artichoke chips,\nburied by the chef under enough grated parmesan to suggest the recent consumption\nof one too many murder documentaries. At first they crunched, before breaking a\nmoment later into a wave of fiery truffle and a 1-2 nut combo of parmesan and\nartichoke. To keep things sensible, a second ramekin of aioli was placed\nadjacently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-74x55.jpeg 74w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-111x83.jpeg 111w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-215x161.jpeg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Artichoke chips <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next was pappardelle and duck ragu. What I was\nexpecting here and what I received were two wildly different things. Naturally,\nI had envisaged a Venetian classic: fresh pappardelle with a tomato-based\nsauce, packed full of unctuous, tasty Daffy. What I was served instead was an\nItalian-Asian fusion: fresh pappardelle with a (maybe) tomato-based sauce,\npacked full of unctuous, tasty Daffy but also featuring a quantity of fennel\nand star anise sufficient to floor a buffalo. It was explosively tasty,\nfantastically cooked and, at first, a nice surprise. There was, however, enough\nduck to make it a real struggle to finish, and I was left for six hours with a\ntaste of aniseed stronger than if I&#8217;d downed a bottle of sambuca. Certainly not\na dish for the faint-hearted\/stomached. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-2-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-2-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-2-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-2-74x55.jpeg 74w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-2-111x83.jpeg 111w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-pic-2-215x161.jpeg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Pappardelle and duck ragu <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When what I needed most was an intravenous\nsupply of sugar to counteract the amount of duck fat and anise I had just\nconsumed, Milkwood came through with the next best thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chocolate tart I ordered was not, I\nconfess, on the Plat-du-Jour (\u252c\u00fa2 extra &#8211; main menu), but oh was it worth it.\nI&#8217;ve cooked and\/or eaten a lot of chocolate tarts in my time but cannot ever\nremember eating one as dense and indulgent as this. So thick was it, and so\nheavy, that if you chucked a piece of it at a window, I reckon the window would\ncome off worse. There was some rhubarb on the plate too and a dollop of creme\nfraiche somewhere, which helped things along, but both paled into\ninsignificance compared to the only thing on the plate which really mattered:\nthat tart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-dessert-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-dessert-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-dessert-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-dessert-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-dessert-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-dessert-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-dessert-74x55.jpeg 74w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-dessert-111x83.jpeg 111w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/milkwood-dessert-215x161.jpeg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Chocolate tart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So my visit to Milkwood turned out to be quite\nunexpected. They gave me an almost lethal dose of duck fat and rekindled\npreviously repressed memories of aniseed-flavoured, sambuca-induced teenage\nvomiting. However, these were just issues of quantity. What matters more is\nthat they served me the finest chocolate tart I think I have ever eaten.
