Look at the menu and you'll see many items' prices kickstarting from $20, and cost as high as $30.
Roasted Garlic Flat Bread $6
Have you tried a flat garlic bread before? At least not for me. I don't usually spend on appetizer but this is definitely something I will not regret ordering. The bread is crunchy on its surface but extremely soft and chewable, it really beats many garlic bread out there! Some garlic breads out there just simply add garlic paste in the middle of the bread, but for this, I don't get an overwhelming taste of garlic out of nowhere. They taste of it was very delicately spread across the whole piece.
Crispy soft shell prawns with chili and garlic aioli $15
This was indeed a very special dish I've ever had. Serves as a very good appetizer! We could eat the prawns with its shell!
Quite an amazing dish! It comes with zesty mayonnaise for you to dip your prawn in it, and it really tastes soooo good. Just a little downside of it was that I wasn't really used to chewing the shells with it. But overall, a very interesting dish! The mini prawns were very fresh as well.
Confit Pork Belly, puy lentils, chorizo$27
Lentils is a unique kind of bean that we don't usually see in our dish. So here's a unique point of this dish!
Other than that, the star of this dish is definitely none other than the pork belly with a crispy top layer. I must really say the pork belly meat was beyond words to describe. The meat is the most succulent meat I've ever tasted and if I'm back here again, I will recommend my friends to get it. A small minor down side about this dish is that the portion could be a little small for its price, but SUPER worth every penny!
Moroccan spiced baby chicken, celeriac, buttered spinach $28
Another very well-prepared dish that I would recommend.
Also, another dish with very juicy meat, but not as juicy as the pork belly. I guess the apparent reason why the pork belly's meat is juicier is because of the fats in it.. oh well fats.
But still, the meat for this baby chicken is almost equally good, and you must definitely eat with the skin because some of the spices and taste are on the skin as well. Don't waste it please. I don't usually eat chicken skins but for this, I don't mind another running session.
Overall, this place is more for working adults who can afford such dinners on a frequent basis. But for students, it doesn't mean you can't afford. I think it's fair for us to indulge in such little treats for us after a long fight in the war of university/poly. The bar (obviously) serves alcohol drinks which I am not really interested in, which is why I didn't order them. But it seems that every diners ordered an alcohol drinks here. The ambience here is a little rowdy, so do not expect a serene ambience. But it's exactly that slight rowdiness in a bar which attracts people to come because they can speak freely in the bar afraid of being judged! Hehe. I guess diners here look for a place to catch up with friends with a cup of alcohol by their side too. Working adults usually do that, don't they?
The services here are very good as well because the waitresses are always near you, and would come in a minute when you called for them! They are very polite as well and would ask how do we find our meals. Good job!
Hope you liked my review!
