The food

Dishes people come back for

Fusion done the way it should be, where the technique is Asian and the produce is local. Everything is cooked to order, so tell us how you like it.

01

Basil chilli pork belly

Crisp on the outside, soft the whole way through, with fresh basil and enough chilli to keep you interested.

02

Chilli caramelised eggplant

The one the vegetarians tell their friends about, and the one half the table ends up fighting over anyway.

03

Golden spiced fish

Whole fish, spiced and fried golden. Best shared, best with rice, best with a cold drink.

04

Crispy prawn dumplings

Handmade, fried to order. Start here while you work out what else you are having.

05

Tom yum king prawn wonton soup

Hot, sour and full of king prawn. The thing to order when the weather turns.

06

Rainbow beef dim sum

As good to look at as it is to eat, which is saying something.

07

Honey glazed fried rice with pork belly

Not a side. This one is the main event and it eats like it.

08

General Tao cauliflower

Sticky, sweet and a bit hot. Vegetarian, and nobody at the table minds.

09

Rendang

Slow cooked until it falls apart, with the spice paste doing all the work.

10

Kung pow

Peanuts, dried chilli and a wok hot enough to do it properly.

11

Satay chicken and vegetables

House made satay, thick and full of peanut. The safe order that is never actually the boring one.

12

The full banquet

Let the kitchen decide. Good for a big table, a birthday, or anyone who cannot make up their mind.

The room

Lanterns, festoon lights
and a proper bar

There is a reason people say the setting is special. Chinese lanterns inside, festoon lights strung outside, and room to sit either way depending on the night.

Indoor and outdoor

Sit inside under the lanterns, or take a table outside under the lights. Both work, and both fill up on a Friday.

The bar

An extensive wine list, signature cocktails and mocktails made properly, and bubble tea if that is more your speed.

Banquets and takeaway

Banquet menus for big tables, and the whole menu available to take home. Ring through and we will have it ready.

★★★★★

Ninety eight per cent of people who eat here say you should too.
