I had read about this restaurant in a local magazine and decided to pay a visit before its official opening. Not surprisingly, there were only two seated tables when we walked in. Having had a positive experience at its sister restaurant in London, I was expecting the same kind of quality and authenticity that had impressed me then and I was certainly not disappointed! Minced Pork Omelet Rather than a typical flat omelet, this came as a gigantic fluffy pancake. Though it would have fared better
Minced Pork Omelet
Rather than a typical flat omelet, this came as a gigantic fluffy pancake. Though it would have fared better wiith additional pork stuffing within, the egg was crisp and moist with a hint of lemongrass and chili. Lamb shank curry
This was a mild red curry with a huge lamb shank resting in the middle of the dish. The lamb was absolutely tender with the meat falling effortless off the bone and this was paired with the a sweet curry without it being too overly creamy. Thai grilled chicken
This was my favourite dish of the whole night! The chicken was so tender and seared with a caramel sweetness to it. The best part to the chicken was the accompanying sauce which was absolutely amazing - it was a tantalizing mixture of fish sauce, crushed peanuts and chilli which gave the chicken an extra pinch of flavour. A meal consisting of three main dishes set us back around $500 in total which is considered relatively expensive for a Thai meal in the middle of Causeway Bay. Yet, I understand that they are promoting high-end authentic Thai cuisine which I believe is reasonable given its quality of food. I will definitely return there once it officially opens and continue trying out the rest of the dishes on its extensive menu!
