I don't think I'll be back. Lately I've mostly been eating at Movida & Movida next door, which is hard to beat!

Your poor friend. :)<br /><br />Yo Miles, they really were lovely. Gotta get yerself back there!<br /><br />Hi Anonymous J - while their food is generally very spiced and spicy (hawker style) I've never found their food overbearingly salty. Was there any dish in particular that stood out?<br /><br />Hi other Anonymous - ouch, sounds like you got the fuzzy end of the lollipop that time. Sorry to hear that!clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271464994614942315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-44863238675585740822009-06-03T19:19:59.097+10:002009-06-03T19:19:59.097+10:00I feel gibbed.

When I had the degustation for my birthday there was FAR too much fried food, and all we were served for dessert were banana fritters (ie more fried stuff). The room was also incredibly overheated to the point where we felt uncomfortable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-12791530353891854842009-06-03T11:33:20.560+10:002009-06-03T11:33:20.560+10:00Hi, I was at Gingerboy for dinner last weekend an...Hi, I was at Gingerboy for dinner last weekend and just wondered if anyone else finds the food way too salty??? I usually *add* salt to my food, but this was way over the top! they do have fantastic cocktails though!

Last time I went we seemed to get just as much food for a 3 person banquet as we did for a 5 person banquet, which was especially appreciated for the dessert platter. <br /><br />You've made me realize how much I miss those desserts... I need to go back there sharpish. :)Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199527461309714703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-83464173711950183792009-06-03T09:21:56.577+10:002009-06-03T09:21:56.577+10:00Those son-in-law eggs are amazing (and intriguing....Those son-in-law eggs are amazing (and intriguing... I was puzzling over how they're made for days) but were also responsible for a rather (grossly) amusing diniing experience...<br />They seem to use rather large eggs - for a dish that needs to be popped in the mouth and eaten in one go - and my dining companion, it turns out, has a very small mouth. Of course she realised it wasn't going to fit a smidge too late, started laughing, and, well, ended up with egg on her face...<br />The desserts look incredible. A friend of mine was joking about cooking a green curry brulee, and now it doesn't seem entirely silly...hannahnoreply@blogger.com
