We began our meal with the sweet potato and shan tofu puffs served with a charred tomato and chilli sauce. Despite not being a fan of tofu, I found these light and satisfyingly crunchy.

One of my favourites was the sweetcorn and split pea fritters with a tangy tamarind sauce. I ate both fritters while my dining companions were deep in conversation! I didn’t feel too guilty, considering they enjoyed a few fish dishes I skipped. Snacks cost £5-6.

The braised aubergine with house masala and crispy curry leaf delivered a spicy kick, which I enjoyed but I’d prefer it toned down for even greater enjoyment. Vegetable dishes cost £7-12.

My partner and our friend couldn’t resist the Rakhine salmon ceviche in the fish section. Paired with smashed green mango, papaya and chilli, this dish was vibrant and spicy, perfectly balanced by the mango’s sweet juiciness.

Despite feeling full, the desserts were too intriguing to resist, so we shared two between the three of us. The frosted paratha was served with a milk tea espuma, which had a mousse-like consistency, perfect for dipping the paratha.
