Spice Market

(It's insanely difficult to take good food photos in an establishment where you can hardly even read the menu items. So please excuse my horrible photos today.)

This is the first, but hopefully not the last, time I'm visiting Spice Market. We had our own little party room downstairs, in a comfy little alcove full of large plush pillows that're quite dangerous come food coma time! Yes, we all could've (& wanted to!) pass out there at the end of the night with the curtains closed, and it's a wonder we didn't. Our party had a LOT of diverse and picky eaters, and yet we went family style. Somehow that still worked out really well, and all the dishes I tried were quite tasty!

On our menu for the night?

The APPs = lobster summer roll; spicy thai fried chicken wings; spiced chicken samosas; and crab dumplings.

Followed by the ENTREEs = crispy salt and pepper skate; cod w/malaysian chili sauce; red curried duck; char grilled chicken; and grilled strip steak.
Accompanied by the RICEs = coconut sticky rice; jasmine rice; and ginger fried rice w/egg on top.

And of course, we could never leave without having DESSERTs = ovaltine kulfi; crushed white chocolate & yuzu pavlova; green apple cobbler (winner of the night!); vietnamese coffee ice cream; and cookie bags galore!

Everything had at least a touch of spice in it, giving it a distinct taste you wouldn't ordinarily expect (especially in the desserts!).
