| - My partner and I went to Soos on a Friday evening at around 6pm. Very sleek and modern setting with a great looking bar and additionally, a fantastic looking dining room that can be reserved for special occasions.
Understandably, the place was booked up with incoming reservations so we decided to have a seat at the bar. We were helped by a friendly Australian bartender who seemed very knowledgeable about the menu and the specials available that evening. For dinner, we had a laksa and the special short-rib with coconut rice and roti. We also shared a delicious tequila based cocktail that was right at the limit of the perfect level of booziness - props to the bartender for that one.
The short rib beef was incredibly tender (I believe all the meat is well sourced, hormone-free, etc.) and pulled apart quite easily. The laksa was alright, but left something to be desired. The curry gravy/broth had some good flavour, but it was a little watery and oily. The mix of thin and thick noodles is authentic, I believe, but it was sort of difficult to eat and nearly impossible to share (this was our bad, however).
Worth checking out if you're in the area, but if you're looking for good south east asian food, I would go somewhere else like Sabai Sabai. I was really looking forward to this place but it just missed the mark.
