Ox tongue skewer, imperial spice, lemon thyme $6pp Seriously so bomb! Ox tongue is such an underrated ingredient and I’m so glad to see it popping on more menus these days. So incredibly tender!

Strange flavour pork neck $16 Slightly spicy, peanutty sesame flavour but I couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was though it was addictive and perfect to devour those succulent slices of pork neck over a steaming bowl of rice - the food of my people. 

Roasted squid, snow pea sprouts $20 Another stellar dish! Noodles made from thinly sliced squid, cooked perfectly silky and al dente. The roasted squid seafood broth and creamy emulsion was just bursting with umami flavours and the freshness of the snow pea sprouts balanced the creaminess of the emulsion.

Salt and pepper veal sweetbreads $18 Complimentary biodynamic wine (forget which one it was) for the table, cheers guys! The sweetbreads were like chicken nuggets, and you can’t go wrong with that! Extra hot sauce was served with this already lip numbing dish which neither of us grabbed for haha.

Peking style pork jowl, pancakes, condiments $45 Actually really hard to decide on my favourite dish here but I think the pork jowl pancakes might take the crown! The pancakes were like buttery roti and oh man that pork jowl had everyone wanting to order another serving. 

Congee, pear, coriander $10 An interesting dessert. I was intrigued when I read the menu and wondered how they would be making congee into a dessert. This was more of a rice pudding. The sweet fragrance of the pear was subtle and the coriander oil made this more of a palate cleanser. 

A roasted potato $10 Because potatoes are awesome. Fried ice cream. Deep fried potato skin batter with potato ice cream in the center. Had doubts but this was quite enjoyable!
