| - One of our party had been here before and recommended it. What a great recommendation!
we ordered the mango salad, fried duck, beef pannang?, pineapple fried rice, some special noodle dish, and ended off with a mango roll with lychee ice cream.
The mango salad was a refreshing, palette cleansing appetizer, and a hint of great things to come.
Soon after, the good food flood gates flung open and we were served the beef pannang, fried duck, rice, and noodles.
The clear winner was the beef pannang. Tender, deep fried, with a aromatic, and fragrant curry.
The Fried Duck was also very moist and crisp, and a together with the wrap, celery, hoi sin sauce provided a multi-faceted alternative to the other mildly spicy dishes.
The noodles were fresh and springy to the bite, with a lightly spiced sauce. The shrimp and chicken was large and well textured.
The fried rice lacked the forceful flavours of the other dishes, and the rice itself was a bit dry. Still a good dish, just not as good in light of the other dishes.
The dessert was much smaller than we had anticipated, but the deep friend "roll" was perfectly done. Crispy, without being oily. the lychee ice cream was slightly bland, but provided a good compliment to the mango roll.
Our server was polite and helpful, although towards the end of our meal, her service levels fell (empty water glasses, long wait for dessert menu and orders).
It was busy and slightly noisy, but adds to the overall good atmosphere of the restaurant.
5/5 (the faults are mentioned only for balance, overall it was a great meal)
