THIS ITEM REQUIRES SOME COOKING AND ASSEMBLY
BLACK FUNGI, garlic smashed cucumber and aged black vinegar
A great combination and perfect side or appetiser to the menu, new season cucumber is smashed and marinated with garlic and salt, to be combined with the textural marinated black fungi in aged black vinegar and fragrant chilli oil a perfect springtime salad.
FRIED BREAD, charred spring onion and soft curd
A mainstay on our tasting menu, slow fermented and double proofed, pan fried and brushed with cold pressed sesame seed oil, served with soft milk curds and a paste made from charred spring onion and toasted seaweed, like a bagel meets a spring onion pancake.
SICHUAN PORK AND OCTOPUS MA PO TOFU
A Sichuan classic sauce of braised pork mince in spicy chilli and numbing Sichuan peppercorns, together with chilli bean paste and the addition of Fremantle octopus for added richness and umami, cooked together with silken tofu and aromatic chilli oil.
WHOLE ROASTED CHICKEN, Kashgari spice and fragrant chilli oil
Taking the flavours of the beloved dish of ‘Big Tray Chicken’ or Da Paan Ji – this hearty Northern Chinese classic is usually a spicy braised Chinese dish served with hand torn wheat noodles, we’ve reimagined this as a roasted and boneless whole chicken, charred and cooked in our Kashgari spice blend along with an aromatic chilli oil.
KNIFE CUT NOODLES, roasted capsicum, and star anise
Handmade and hand cut wheat noodles to accompany your roasted chicken, made with a rich flavourful sauce of deeply roasted red peppers, tomatoes and star anise.
