Once you sink your teeth into these rolls, stuffed with shrimp, cloud mushroom and slippery glass noodles, you'll be well on your way towards the promise of a red sky at night. Sexual Hagrassment, a lemongrass lentil soup, is served in traditional Asian pottery. Hoping for the French de Puys lentil, I make do with the generic brown pulse that arrives. A little larger and less toothsome, it marries well with the fresh chopped spinach, perfectly cooked and brightly bobbing to the surface. The contrasting feels of the chewy flat disks and slippery tender greens on the tongue perhaps save this soup from its lukewarm lacklustre chicken broth.
Selection is on the slim side with the mains.
For the only vegetarian entree, this dish lacks inspiration. The tofu is sponge-like, soaking up more water than flavour. Served in a giant Chinese soup bowl, as are most entrees, it's a heavier dish with incredibly tender beef and mushrooms in a distinct red wine sauce. The sizeable taste enhancement made by crispy caramelized onions is right up there with the puffed wild rice. It's a small touch, but makes an otherwise predictable dish move up a notch.
