came here with a last minute booking with a friend on a saturday evening.
we were seated by the window and had about a 2 hour time period to eat, which we were fine with. the menu was given and we decided upon the people's banquet for $49pp. we also wanted 2 cocktails ($15 each), one which has popping pearls and jelly. despite howgoodthey tasted, service to actually order took a while and we had an imposed time limit by them.
the foods ordered were in general of prettygoodvalue and very much asian fusion.
1. sashimi with a kohlrabi salad - it was nice, i'm personally not fan of cabbage but it's hard to get sashimi wrong if you have high quality ingredients. 4/5
2. wagyu and cheese spring roll- light crispy outer shell with a rich beef filling which oddly reminded me of a big mac. the dipping sauce was creamy. 3/5
3. spicy prawn and bacon wonton - we felt this was underwhelming. it was nice, the topping tasted sort of like xo sauce but not a stand out. 3/5
4. pork belly bao - easily the stand out dish 5/5. the bun was light and fluffy, the pork crispy and juicy with the right amount of salad and dressing.
5. crispy smashed chicken - a generous serving a fried chicken. the sambal was amazing in which we asked for more and the ginger shallot topping not too bad. it was quite a heavy dish, my friend squeezed lemon (from her cocktail) onto it to give it freshness. i think a salad should have accompanied this to accentuate the flavours more and break it up. 3.5/5
6. nutella gaytime bao - warm comfort food a pan fried bao with a half a daytime ice cream drizzled in nutella and marshmallows. hard to get wrong. 4/5
the overall it was worth its price and the cocktails amazing.
if the service was a bit quicker and small changed made this could easily be a 5/5.
