Ordering Strategy

Book a booth with a Lazy Susan if you are with a group. Do not share the prawn toast—get one each.

What to order

Safe first

Prawn Toast

Described as "something to love" and "quickly becoming a favourite," these are served as four soldiers holding a prawn head aloft. The bread is heavily sesamed and crisp, topped with a "thick and fresh" prawn layer that critics insist you order per person rather than sharing.

Hungry

Ibérico Secreto Char Siu

A substantial BBQ dish featuring pork collar fat barbecued until it crunches. It offers a "symphony of sweet, tart, and savoury" flavors thanks to a rich glaze and the inclusion of mustard leaves and grapefruit to cut the richness.

Wildcard

Hong Kong French Toast

The definitive dessert here: deep-fried, stuffed with peanut butter, and glazed with condensed milk.

Wildcard

Green Tea Coconut Martini

A thimble-sized "sip" described as "a beauty" by critics. It is decently strong and "full of aromatics," serving as a perfect mischief-encouraging start to the meal.

What to skip

Skip
Curry Fish Ball Skewers— While the accompanying spice is noted as wonderful, critics flag the "grimness" and "unpleasant" texture of the reformulated fish used in the skewers.

Good to know

Entrance is hidden behind Wonton Charlie's. The vibe is loud with club music. Ask for Table 13 if you want the 'party table'.
