| - Came here for dinner on a Sunday night. I'm glad I came with a group of 4 so we could try a lot of things on the menu. I find this place more of a tapas place, ordering a few things to share as opposed to ordering one dish to be your main.
Tuna lettuce wrap ($13)
Seared tuna served on mashed avocado in fresh piece of lettuce, topped with some tempura pieces. Ingredients were fresh. This tasted really refreshing, a great appetizer.
Sunchoke Spring rolls ($11)
This vegetarian spring roll was delicious. A flaky phyllo stuffed with a king oyster mushroom filling. Really tasty! The filling was super rich in mushroom flavour. This spring roll texture was more on the flaky pastry side rather than being your typical crispy spring roll.
Lamb ribs ($16)
These braised lamb ribs were glazed in bbq pork sauce, served with a super refreshing pear salad on the side. The lamb ribs meat were really tender, outside edges had a nice crisp. Because the meat was rich in flavour, having the pear salad on the side was really refreshing.
Truffle fried rice ($14)
This was my favourite dish of the night! Vegetarian fried rice mixed with mushroom, cauliflower, and truffle topped with a poached egg. The fried rice was cooked nicely, strong in flavours. Words or pictures don't do the justice but this dish was definitely delicious!
Fried Chicken ($14)
The chicken is marinated overnight in a bunch of ingredients prior to being fried the next day. As a result, the chicken meat itself is flavourful and doesn't rely on the flavour from the fried batter. The fried chicken was super crispy, and didn't feel oily or greasy at all. Not going to lie it did remind me of Popeyes.
Duck Confit biang biang noodles ($13)
My second most favourite dish of the night. I swear there was more duck meat and mushrooms in this dish than the noodles! The noodles are made in house. I really liked the flavour of the sauce, more on the saltier end. The duck meat was tender. All ingredients went really well. Tasty!
Black sesame bread pudding ($8)
The black sesame bread pudding kinda tastes like a combination of "man tao" and "ma lai go" (chinese dimsum dessert) but with a hint of black sesame flavour. The texture was more dense, not soft and fluffy like normal bread pudding. The bread pudding was served with homemade caramel sauce and topped with ice cream. It was different, but I liked it!
Tofu cheesecake ($7)
This dessert was completely made in house. The crust had a lot of mixed crushed nuts. There was a strong tofu flavour but I personally prefer having more cheesecake flavour.
Love the decor, nice and cozy place. Be sure to make reservations though, the restaurant can seat around 20 people.
I will definitely be coming back to try their other items!
