Yes, a Hanky Panky-cocktail inspired and truffle carbonara cocktail. Beeches be loco.

The snowskin mooncakes are enhanced with flavours from German teahouse Ronnefeldt’s infusions.

Shrewdly audacious how it turns the classic dish on its head, with a happy crunchiness from the fried soft shell crab and garlic which prevents the sweet chilli crab proceedings from ever getting too sticky and cloying. 3.7/5

The searing Szechuan gremolata is inspired and a revelation, and easily one of my favourite mala experiences this year. 3.9/5

The al fresco space plays it all bird call-soundtracked chill-out starry-lit garden, with appealing daily happy deals ranging from 25% off bottled wine and spirits on Monday and Tuesday nights to all-day 1-for-1 housepour wines and spirits by the glass on Sunday.

I visited Bar Canary on Thursday night, which is when whisky (both glass and bottle) are 25% off and beers on tap are $10 nett.

Plays like a more refined and gentle Literature riff on the coarser and Further Mathematics-esque BlackBall playbook. 3.8/5
