Nothing to show here in terms of pictures, too ceebs to bring the camera, but me and the girl went off to la mint just then (by just then i mean for dinner, not 12am LOL) and had an awesome time talking childhood among amazing food.
For entree, we had snail. yep, i had snail. nomnomnom, quite amazing actually, it's like squid. Give it a shot. I can't guarantee that it would be as amazing as this place, but hey, at least you know the texture now!
We shared three mains among the two of us (yeah, we have a very high metabolism!) which included pork belly, lamb cutlets and beef cubes.
Firstly the pork belly was incredible. as fattening as it was, the flavours really blanket the mouth, living up to the signature dish it is. It is made even better with Chef George's special chilli sauce - this chilli has a powerful kick and would require a fairly decent tolerance of chilli to properly enjoy, or it will kill your tongue.
Secondly the lamb cutlets were special. you can't really go wrong with lamb cutlets, but there is nothing stopping you from making it special. and that's what it was - the lamb just melted in your mouth.
Thirdly there was the beef. Clearly this was a favourite of my dearest, as she demolished most of it, realising with a few pieces left she ate almost the whole thing! Quite funny, yet so cute to see her just forget and feel bad - nothing wrong with enjoying your dish :) what mattered is that I actually got to try it, and man, i never knew asian tossed snake beans would work well with beef in a lemony salt/pepper dip.
For dessert, we got a sweet potato chips with ice cream which were very thin chips of sweet potato with cinnamon sauce and ice cream, combining lightly fried with sweet and cold. we also got strawberry with caster sugar, mint and vodka - almost a cocktail!
either way, the food was matched by the good company as always, and the many never ending conversations and stories we have
oh and of course, screaming out the whole album of The Cab on the way back home :)
