Guests can enjoy innovative dishes like whole wheat bing bread with whipped ricotta and black truffle, and shrimp toast with green curry-sparked shrimp mousse. The menu also features grilled prawns with 'nduja butter and seasonal snap peas with buttermilk dressing, fresh mint, and shaved duck egg yolk, ensuring a bold flavor experience with every visit.
