Amazing service, food, thoughtfully curated drink menu. Please keep the pacing as it is, as someone that can’t do huge tasting menus anymore this was the perfect portion size and pacing (I did the five course). Loved the jook course and the main courses with golden rice, must have starches on the tasting menu. Will definitely be back when the menu changes seasonally. Also love the restaurant’s commitment to sustainability and no plastics!
