What a mysterious place - you either head up the stairs via a secret door in the back alley, or ask the friendly folks at The Refinery to show you the way (it's hidden behind one of their shelves).

Both the Duck Confit Penyet & One Night in Tom Yum were delicious ($20++ each). The former had a great dollop of homemade sambal that paired well with the absolutely tender duck meat. The latter had chewy Japanese Inaniwa Udon in a bowl of Tom Yum Consomme, coupled with crab meat. It's served as a cold dish; I do wonder how this would've tasted as a piping hot bowl of noodle soup.

Stuff here is expensive considering how small the portions are. I could've eaten 2 mains & not be completely full. But strangely enough, after I left, I was thinking of the food for the rest of the night. Great execution, but my stomach is too big for this place methinks.

Ambience was awesome - quite lovely place to chill or go on a date. Music played in the background was excellent. 👌

(But I was hungry at the end of it all & walked a few streets down to eat some waffles with ice cream.)

Ps: That glass of beer was $15++. Sigh.
