We had:

Peking Duck pancakes

Red Curry duck

Jim's sweet pork belly
Garlic Pepper beef
Chilli and basil prawns

The pancakes were a bit messy.  They came as one big pancake with lots of hoisin on top and inside.  Each had a few bits of duck and lots of veges, carrots, lettuce, cucumber.  They were kind of nice for a change but not spectacular, wouldn't go back for more.  Very messy to eat and we ended up using our knives and forks.

The Duck curry was standard and pretty yum, enjoyed by all. 

The pork was everyone's favourite, it was melt in the mouth, star anise, soy, sweet flavour.  There was much discussion about what the ingredients could be and who had the best recipe at home for something similar.

The prawns were very nice, light with good veges, not too spicy, tasty.

 The beef was another favourite.  It was lovely and tender, we could taste the garlic and the black pepper addition really lifted the dish.

 The dessert was the roti banana and green tea icecream, both lovely.

 The restaurant wasn't very full at all so conversation was easy to hear.  The downside was that the heating wasn't working all that well and so each table had it's own heater.  Oh well, can't have everything.

 Overall it was very reasonably priced at $30 each, great value.
