Dishes were…Scallop and Eggplant Claypot

IMG_1069

with rice of course

IMG_1072

Fish in spicy ‘Ma La‘ soup. The ‘Ma La‘ flavour originated from Sichuan. The main ingredient is a type of pepper known as Sichuan pepper or ‘hua jiao‘ (literally flower pepper). It has an unusual taste which is a little tangy and numbs your mouth and lips.

Hui guo rou‘ literally Double cooked meat, as per the menu

Preferred the City outlet because they had more single person serve options. Maybe it could be due to we were there during lunch and here during dinner and they have a different set of menu for lunch and for dinner.

There was also periscopes for sale, which was a good tool to see above the heads.

Heading back to the carpark. Half the road was closed, just for us spectators.

It was a little too sunny

The traffic on the way home was not that bad. Maybe because we left before the presentation.

From the rather unusual menu, selected toasted Padiani with prosciutto, tomato, seeded mustard mayo and emmental cheese (which we were told when asked, was a blend of cheddar, tasty and another type cheese…couldn’t recall the third cheese), served on a wooden chopping block.
