| - This is a fun place to hang out with a few friends, grab some drinks, and get some delicious bites. It's located off the main road and in a house, don't be shy to push open the garden gate and step right in. This place is very cozy with seats and table packed tightly. My three friends and I were seated in the front part of the house, separate from the main bar/dining area. The seats right beside the window was on top of the radiator and let's just say there were some very toasty buns by the end of the meal.
I ordered a mango foco loco which was a rum drink with a can of mango juice balanced upside down. It's a refreshing and delicious cocktail. Despite the waitress's advice to not lift the can till more than half the drink is finished, I decided to try my luck close to that half way point and ended up with one napkin worth of mango juice overflow situation.
I had really high expectation for the food going in from all the wonderful reviews, and this place does not disappoint. The tiger's milk ceviche was everyone's favourite. I really liked the mango and papaya salad with squid, and the marrow beef. The marrow was not what I expected, it was beef rolled up with different herbs inside, all balanced on top of a piece of bone, and was the most memorable dish. The sticky wings and beef curry clay pot were perfectly prepared, and full of flavors. With the so fly rice, every bite was different, one bite would have bits of fried softshell crab, while another would have a burst of the ocean with the salmon roe. Great if you're a fan of that seafood taste, but for me, it wasn't my favourite out of all the dishes.
Overall, this was a great food experience, but the space is very crammed and heated seats are only really enjoyable in cold cars.
