Exemplary

Once in a while these ridiculously priced things deliver and I am happy. Tea tree mushrooms, ridiculously tender Duroc pork belly that's perfectly fatty, crispy claypot rice that's better than most hawkers(it's not burnt at all), fried kale, sichuan spices and onsen egg.

Blast after blast of incredible umami and texture. One of the best things I've eaten

The wait time is more than 20mins so call ahead to let them prepare in advance

Must try

Moody and atmospheric restaurant with perfect lighting; vibes alone are enough to impress a date. Service was also top-notch, always polite and with a smile. Food-wise, the dishes we ordered were all presented beautifully and delicious.

Our favourite was the Oriental Bolognese ($26) which was capellini pasta in an asian-inspired pork ragout sauce. The onsen egg added creaminess to it and the sauce was the standout of the dish. Equally as good was the Find the Chicken in the Chillis ($19) - the the dish doesn't deviate too much from the ubiquitous la zi ji of Chengdu cuisine, except perhaps I wished there were more of the popcorn chicken because after a few morsels I was, true to its name, finding if there were any more chicken in the chillis. The Yu Xiang Eggplant ($17) was mentioned in several reviews, but personally I thought it was just average, with the eggplant being small in portion and slightly too mushy in texture. The mozzarella balls and spring onion 'biscuits' also didn't really add to the dish. Overall felt that this dish was a bit of a mess. We washed all the food down with a glass of Bird's Rebujito ($18) which was refreshing.

Overall, the food had some hits and misses but I think the vibes and service made up for it. Would return to try their Sharing Menu for Two.

Their sides are really quite good. Overall seems like a place with standards, particularly if you order the correct things.

Food:
A great version. The garlic punch is there and the sauce was balanced while being multilayered.

Food:
Soup is really quite rich in collagen, but needs a little more umami to be elite.

Lamb ribs really were good. Very tender, almost cottony with ample meaty flavour. They deserve all their praises

Chose knife shaved noodles and they suck. It's very soft store bought noodles

Offal were okay, some overly chewy bits

They really are good. There's a great deal of balance in the dish, it's satisfying yet not overly spicy or wtv. Ckn was good as well

One of the better versions, this is definitely worth a try if you're here.

miso mushroom noodles and fried pierogi were both DELICIOUS
