Essentially the springiest, boingggggiest and chewiest sotong ever, with asparagus texturally countering the softness with its hard crunchiness, and the signature Royal Pavillion’s old grandfather lending its spicy, aromatic body fragance to the occasion. 4/5

This dish is part of Royal Pavillion’s “Pockets of Love” Mother’s Day 2015 menu. [This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Royal Pavillion.]
