Surry Hills160 for two

Such an amazing job with creatively blending flavours. We got the set menu which was $80 per person. The menu changes regularly but I'm sure it'd be just as amazing as the one we tried.

Probably one of the fanciest Korean meals I've had. We had the classic Korean fried chicken which was covered in a delicious marinade. I was introduced to some new flavours in this menu and was in awe of the presentation of some dishes.

The most refreshing part of the meal was the yassam. It was an interesting dish because there was a mix of sweetness, sourness and crunchiness. I've never had pear in my dinner.

The oxtail had so much flavour, the seasoning was on point.

We finished off our meal with ice cream. Mugwort was a new flavour for me, it tasted like tea. I enjoyed the inclusion salted chocolate which added a new texture.
