| - I met 5 of my friends here for lunch on Thursday, and last night I went back with my lovely wife.
For lunch on Thursday, we split a number of dishes, all of which were good, but when you start to have that many dishes, there is a lot of overlap in flavours.
As others have described, 5 Spices dishes are definitely more Chinese-styled (cornstarch laden, thick shiny sauces) but with Indian flavours. Unfortunately, you won't find ingredients like broccoli or eggplant. The most "exotic" vegetable was cauliflower.
My favourite dish both visits was an appetizer called Chinese Bhel, a crispy, noodley delight. Try it and thank me later.
My wife described the dishes as "comfort food". Don't expect nouveau cuisine, but if you want good flavours and hearty dishes, you won't be disappointed.
