We have been a couple of times before - but were worried about some of the odd crazy-low scores that we'd seen on reviews - we wondered if it had lost its mojo.

Absolutely awesome meal

The starters were fought over by the family - negotiations quickly turned to attempts at downright plate smash and grab. We had the Braised Angus Cheek Dumplings, Vietnamese Organic Pork Spring Rolls and Mushroom, Tofu & Smoked Speck San Choi Bao.

Still I worried about those reviews - maybe we had just been lucky with the trouble-causing starters ??

We chose individual dishes to share instead of the selection / banquet options.

I was relieved we did as we went for the larger Bug Curry option and it was a stunner. The pork belly was perfect and I also really enjoyed the Crispy Baby Barra.

Desert heralded another fight across the table - the Banana Beignets were my fav, just ahead of the Creme Brulet and Choc Hazelnut Fondant.

We won t be leaving it so long between drinks again !

To those who left bad reviews - whaaaaaat !
