Argh, I'm tired, and exhausted... but I've still been eating. So here's just a quick post from last Friday night.

We were out to celebrate Shamini's birthday... Happy Birthday Sham!

Ella's wrap: plump prawns stuffed with minced prawns, herbs and vegetables sealed in a fine pastry and snap fried

Parker's Gem: bite sized pieces of minced chicken blended with potatoes, coriander, silver thread noodles and special spices - lightly battered then snap fried

Red Temple Chicken: chicken roulade smothered with a lightly spiced red sauce of chilli, lemon grass, coconut, garlic and tomatoes

The next two dishes were the stand-out of the night. The Ayam Blues was fabulously rich, buttery and crispy. There was also an elegant peanut fragrance...MmMm...

Ayam blues: lightly battered chicken fillets, wok tossed in a subtle tangy mayonnaise coating infused with lemon juice and tomato sauce

The Assam Prawns was uniquely tropical... it was a little sweet, a little sour... and a little spicy.

Assam Prawns: fresh prawns in a spicy tangy tamarind flavoured sauce with tomatoes, string beans and pineapple pieces

Mee Goreng: Hokkien noodles wok-tossed with a blend of spices, diced bean curd, potatoes, tomatoes, chicken, egg and prawns.

chilli prawns: fresh prawns topped with an egg-blend sweet chilli sauce

beef rendang: beef, curry paste and coconut milk

Taya (aka. Annie), Jordan, Me, Aileen & Shamini

The service was awesome... they were extremely willing to cater to our needs. The ambience of the restaurant was also really soothing. Peaceful rhythms, a funky interior and great casual alfresco dining!
