Ron persuaded us to have the tasting menu just because and it was rather special but there was rather a lot of it.
We started with the sort shell crab with squid on the side. The squid was a bit chewy but the rest of it was wonderful, the crab was tender crunchy, not too heave batter with salad and a touch of pineapple, making the combination just perfect.
The dumplings were a nice plan contrast. Waygu beef and prawns with pickled ginger sauce. Both sauces complemented the dumplings perfectly.
The lamb skewers with a bun were very spicy, almost too much for some, but the spiciness was compensated for by the refreshing salad and the warm bun. Yum
Pork belly was smooth, falling apart.
The beef was tender with a mustard sauce, a great flavours. Fish was plain with a soy sauce.
The dessert was spectacular but not very much of it. One plate to share between four blokes (I had left by this stage).
John and Andrew liked the pork belly, Jim though all were fantastic, beautiful, wondrous repast had by all, no dish was below standard. The fish was thought to be bland, but that's just how fish is, it never seems to absorb flavour.
Another hit by Wild Duck
