I didn't really have much expectations for this place because it was in MK and it was an upstairs restaurant.
Anyway, when I got there the menu was really extensive and the restaurant was bigger than I imagined.
Looking at the menu, they had steamed fish, the usual Sichuan choices and some unusual items like the spicy squid and fish offal.
The drinks menu impressed me too because there was fresh avocado milk on the menu but sadly they ran out of avocado that day.
I ordered the cantaloupe melon juice and to my surprise it was freshly blended and not syrup.
They have a fruit cabinet.
I was excited about the fish offal dish I ordered because offal normally means livers, hearts, lungs etc but the fish offal at this place was FISH ROE!! I love fish roe, this is the first item I eat if there is any from steamed fish! The second is fish cheeks and eyes.
Never would I have thought fish roe would be classified as fish offal but anyway it was bloody delicious because it was crispy on the outside and full of Sichuan spicy flavours.
They were generous as well with the fish roe.
It is similar to battered roe in British fish and chip shops but with more intense flavours.
The sizzling cumin lamb was a bit disappointing though because it was a bit too chewy for my liking.
