Damn. Damn damn damn damn. The food here at Awai is next level. Like actually on some kind of higher plane above other food. We came here in my birthday a couple of weeks ago and I am still struggling to find words for it.
With that struggle still a thing, we had 7 courses. Each course is a small enough portion that you'll make room for more and you'll want to. Everything is different. Flavour is kicked up and presentation is spot on. Earthy notes are common in the food but that's not to say you won't get something with a bit of zing. Don't be intimidated by the rotating menu (or lack thereof). Trust in this place. I'll admit I am sometimes a bit of a picky and cautious eater but just throw caution out for this place and try what they offer (unless you have an allergy but they'll ask you that in advance).
One criticism is one that many share. The "pay what you feel" system is intimidating and the clarity of what they think is fair would be appreciated. It's a great spot and as a patron you want to be generous. But some of us live on a budget and this place is just a treat. But at the end of the night this gripe is pretty trivial anyway.
