This is a delicious appetizer. Over a bed of crunchy purple cabbage, is a large wobbly soft whole pickled egg, enveloped with tender minced pork sausage meat, and coated in a crisp golden-brown panko breadcrumb crust.

Bite in, and you're rewarded with lovely meaty savoury salty eggy sweet bready flavours. Rather addictive, we kept reaching for more.

We also tried the 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘄 ($19). While the beef chunks were tender, the gravy could’ve had bolder flavours. Thumbs up for the creamy mashed potatoes as I could detect real potatoes inside.

I felt the Beef Stew was a bit of a hit and miss, but the Fish & Chips is definitely a must try!
