Our favourite dish here. The large and fresh fillet of Chilean black cod fish is tender, moist, flaky, and smooth, luxurious with mild sweet savoury flavour.
.
Served over a bed of Chef's edamame rissolo, a risotto-like blend of arborio rice, immature soy beans, kale, seaweed, and garlic.
.
This has a crunchy wispy chewy texture with grainy salty vegetal sweet nutty flavours, complementing the fish. Loved every bite of this, will order again.

The house signature features tender chunks of calamari squid, coated in a thin, crisp all-purpose flour batter spiced with salt, black pepper, garlic, sugar, and red chili.

This results in a deep and robust savoury salty spice sweet flavour. Served with a drizzle of lemon juice. Very nice, a yummy sharing appetizer.
