The 12-hour beef shank stew came in three large pieces which were super tender and meaty. The seasoning with lemongrass, star anise, cinnamon, etc. presented a nice aroma yet not overpowering. The bread was airy and a perfect match for the sauce. My only complaint was the carrots which needed a bit more cooking time.
If it wasn’t for the price tag, I would have gone back the next day.
