Boy, there's been a lot of family dinners this week. Cousins urrwhere, all up in our bidness.
This was the last of the celebratory dinners, and while it was a voucher deal, it was one hell of a choice. I'm a Thai bandit from way back when, but to be honest I kind of overloaded and went off it for a coupla years. Trinity just brought me back.
Super fresh ingredients, fistfuls of delicious herbs - coriander and mint and basil up the wazoo - and innovative dishes, like the spicy crispy pork belly laden with chilli and (suplise!) heaped with more pork belly than I could even finish. Me! How embarrassment. Normally you get jibbed and get, like, 3 cubes of that sweet sweet swine, but here they fully OD you, it's rad.
The duck was great, the chicken was great, the masuman lamb shanks were different and great, and the big surprise packet - dessert, which normally I skip. The sticky banana rice with red bean paste filling was monumental! Served as faux-spring rolls, I utterly monstered these little guys, it was like a party in my mouth and they were in the VIP section throwing Cristal around. A must get.
BYO booze gets it a fourth star. read more
