We started with Amuse bouche, the Palate cleanser having Mango, Lichi and rock salt.
Next we called for Berrylicious:
A great refreshing drink, which is a perfect mix of Guava juice, Orange juice and Mango juice, blend with some Strawberry crush.
Out of School:
Serve in a pirate’s glass, this mocktail has Guava base. For a hint of spiciness, it has Tabasco and Bistro Sauce.
Mojito:
A twist to the normal mojito. This is served in a Sheesha jar. Yes, you read that right. Having lemon juice, mint and basil, refreshing like always!
We then called for; Chicken Basil Dumpling:
It’s stuff with flavour beans, chicken and Chinese herbs, wrap in Hong Kong flour with hint of Ocimum basilicum (Sabja Seeds). Highly recommend.
Dark Prawn Haregao:
The perfect translucent dimsums are stuffed with mince prawns which is flavorsome and delicious, try for its uniqueness.
Beetroot infused Chicken Jiaozi:
Best for beetroot lovers, without getting the traditional beetroot taste. It’s stuff with pickled ginger and beetroot, great colour Dimsum to try for sure.
Panda’s Belly (Veg):
One of the best veg appetizer for sure. The base is of fried Potato serve in the shape of Panda, top with mix vegetables and mayo. Delicious, with each bites giving a burst of flavours.
Fish in Pepper Garlic:
Basa fish cooked perfectly in Soya and garlic sauce, it’s crunchy and loaded with chunks of pepper on top.
Hunan Prawns:
The prawns are crispy, cook in ginger and chilli paste. Top with capsicum and onions. One of my favourite and a definite try.
After appetizers: They serve another Sorbet in Mango flavour to cleanse your palate and take you down the memory lane
