What I really enjoyed was the beef red curry, it had a semi creamy texture and just the right balance of flavours, the salted beef cheeked was really moist and the nuttiness worked like a treat with the mild spicy profile. The pork belly was one of the weaker dishes, the seasoning was fine, but the crispiness was lacking as was the portion size, at £8.50 for a tiny plate, it was hardly worth it. The deep fried seabass was also questionable, the wonderfully fresh and sour dressing failed to blend it with the meat and the texture was not as moist as it could be.
