Lavi Taco (Chinatown)

This was a dollar more expensive than the birria, but I’d get this any day over the latter. Though not the kind of cheesy goodness you’ll get with a birria taco, this was refreshing and delightful. The Argentinian garlic prawns was grilled to perfection to give that slight Smokey flavour, not withstanding them being huge and fresh. The combination of Thai mango salad and cilantro gave an appetising boost to every bite. The chipotle mayonnaise added that slight creaminess and light spice to it, and they all the elements added up together very well. That being said, it’s more worth it at Lavi Taco’s if you use the burpple deal since it guarantees you some discount, though it also presents some limitations in flavours - such as not being able to go for this dish, and timings that you can eat there.

For 2 pieces and pretty little stew by the side my first thought was how unaffordable it was. The masala lamb deep fried taco was not as oily as I’d expected, but the gaminess of the lamb was much more overpowering, to the point the masala felt like a little tingle. In fact, when you dip the taco into the birria, it’s unlikely that you’d get much masala flavour. Cheesy with a decent amount of meat, but, I would go for the other tacos instead.

It would be nice if that was stated - we went all the way feel cheated

Ordered the grilled chicken tacos and loaded mushroom nachos.
Grilled chicken tacos were too small, could finish it in 2 bites. Too spicy and salty
Loaded nachos were too dry and had a weird tatse.
And couldn't event use burpple due to odd timings listed for redemption
Won't be patronising again.

Braised slow-cooked oxtail and brisket, stuffed between tortillas held together by melted cheese, with birria broth

This fared better than the steak tacos, the braised oxtail and brisket were moist and tasty, I liked that there was cheese which added flavour. They were served piping hot. I wished there was a crisp element, it would have been even better. The birria broth was rly spicy, I didn’t have much bc it was rly oily.
