Leyli Joon and Co Supperclub, Tramshed, Cardiff
On July 28, 2019 by The Plate Licked CleanI’ve been wanting to try Leyli Joon’s cooking for a good while now, a situation only heightened by m’colleague Soliciting Flavours’ love letter to his December meal last year, all wrapped up in a righteous grumble about how Christmas meals out typically offer little of interest.
