  Revisited this restaurant after my first review over 18 months. Took the advantage of the Fork promo of 50% off food to have Sunday lunch last week. We ordered the Kingfish Ceviche and the chicken Alitas for entrees and a share dish of Churrasco with the roasted vegetables as side dish. Entrees are passable but the freshness of the kingfish is covered by the sourness of the sauce. It was a shame that we missed the chicken heart on our plate of Churrasco because kitchen ran out of it. However, the presentation with sizzling plate is a let down, which made the edge of the med-rare steak over-cooked (even we took out the steak from the hot plate once they were on the table). At the end, not only some of the steak piece was hard to eat but also the chicken pieces from the skewers. Wish the chef can think about it Jul 24, 2017 Rating 3.5/5Had a remarkable Sunday lunch at this place for quite a few months. Location is slightly off the main food precinct of James Street. Walked in and felt the cosy vibe. Service was sincere and hospitable. Ordered some tapas to share. First came the Chicken Alitas was too dried but the taste was good. The coconut prawns drew my memory of the coconut prawns that I had at Thai Orchard of Mt Gravatt. This Latin Fusion version did provide its character and they were delicious. Pork Belly was done perfectly without greasy meat but crunchy skin. Bay bugs with juiced meat definitely was the hero of the day. Overall, this restaurant is recommended

  I went for date night with Nanxi cause we were bored and had nothing else going on. We got a Dimmi deal for 50% which was great cause this place is a bit exxy. Parking is awful cause it’s along James Street, pray for a side street park and leg it!It’s one of those share plate places so we got a few small and large plates between us.One of the first dishes we got to share was the pao de queijo, a Brazilian tapioca flour cheese bread. One of my favourite Brazilian dishes because I absolutely love cheese and I love this gooey, chewy, stretchy texture of the bread. I got 4/7 of the balls pictured, Nanxi doesn’t like cheese!On the other hand, she loves corn so we got the corn elote, chargrilled half corn corbs with lime, jalapeno butter, queso and paprika. Brace life has left me unable to physically get close enough to the cob to bite it effectively, so I had to use my knife to cut off the kernels which really destroys my enjoyment of corn. These were good, they had a great smokey char, were super juicy and sweet kernels and the mix of salty queso, mildly spicy paprika and tangy lime were a killer hit. She got two cobs and the good ones at that, the two bottom ones not the pointy one in exchange for me eating all the cheese bread.This next one was a bit of a weird one, char grilled squid with squid ink meringue, chipotle sauce and biquinho chillies, those bright red little tear drop looking things. Lots of flavours going on but I did however like the softiness of that beautifully charred, pineapple cut squid! The chillis weren’t hot, they had a fruity sweetness and quite mild heat which made them dangerously edible. The meringue was a sweet meringue, I don’t know what the go with that was.We got the sizzling plate of churrasco which I thought came with more than just meat. It did not, not even a sauce to cut through the meatiness. The picanha was okay, its a rump beef cap that wasn’t cooked enough that the fat could render, the chicken thigh was a touch dry, I couldn’t bite through the chicken heart from braces but Nanxi enjoyed them and lastly the chorizo was the best bit outta this plate.We got the churros to share between us which was good because we could’ve easily had a plate each. It came with ice cream but I asked for it on the side due to lactose intolerance life. The churros pictured were actually quite long about a good 20cm, quite thin with a perfect golden brown CRUNCH, they were only lightly dusted with cinnamon sugar which is nice because I hate it when I order cinnamon sugar and get churros in my order. The dulche de leche was lickable off the plate, Nanxi scolded me when I suggested we try so we just kept trying to scrape it off the plate.All in all, the entrees were excellent, the main of the churrasco was disappointing but the churros sealed the deal for excellence. We got some drinks too but they weren’t anything too memorable. I would definitely try this place for half price night, the atmosphere isn’t bad either with a nice dark room and good music playing. thatseriousgirl.blogspot.com
