Spring Rolls
Money bags
Mild mussaman Beef
duck legs with figs and thai spices
red curry chicken
macadamia scallops
fish fillets with chilli, garlic  ginger
mixed veges and beancurd

 The spring rolls were nice and crispy, the money bags weren't quite right, the mince was not moist enough, too dry.

The chicken curry was dry, but had a nice coconut flavour; the duck beautiful, sauce good; scallops nice not sure about the roe but best to taste it with the basil, beancurd nice; massaman a bit sweet and watery; fish tasted like it came out of a packet, dry with a thick skin.

 Overall the food was okay, not outstanding, a bit disappointing really.  Not as nice as the one in Woden Plaza.

Service was good, ambience nice.  It was very quiet as there was only one other table there.
