Tahr tartare, summer flower and fermented hot sauce from Ahi
A snack we keep returning to time after time, these morsels are the perfect way to kick off a meal at Ahi, comprising finely diced tahr and fermented hot sauce on small, undulating choux pastries.
Soft shell crab, XO vinaigrette, buttermilk and leek oil from Gochu
This dish centres on tasty soft shell crab with a crispy outer and tender, sweet meat inside. Drizzled in a spicy Korean XO pork, balanced with the richness and acidity of buttermilk and pickled onions, it’s a flavour bomb we’d gladly gobble any night of the week.
Handmade sauced pork buns from Sunnytown
Sunnytown’s sauced pork buns are something special. Made fresh daily, these buns have a rich, deeply savoury pork filling that oozes from the centre when they’re pulled apart, pillowy and steaming.
Crispy fried chick burger from Wise Boys
Containing no actual chicken, you won’t know this is actually a plant-based beauty thanks to Wise Boys’ original recipe crispy fried ‘chicken’. It’s paired with tangy slaw, vegan cheese, pickles, their signature vegan aioli and sriracha mayo, all inside a toasted bun.
