Spice Temple, Modern Chinese food.

Let me just say YUM! 

This is Chinese food as you won't expect it to be.

If you feel like spoiling yourself, one of your love ones, or why not on the first date to impress? Spice Temple is the right place. It is modern, relaxed and with excellent service, the food is just fabulous. 

Me and my partner like to share our meals and most of the time (if there is an optional), ask for the 'feed me' menu. With 'feed me' you get to try different dishes, maybe sometimes things you wouldn't normally order, there is more variety and bang for your buck! 

Here are some of the dishes that were outstanding for us at Spice Temple, a winter Saturday in June. 

Their Kingfish with pickled green chilli, black sesame and shallot oil just melts in your mouth. The slices are so finely and carefully sliced. Amazing and fresh! 

The steamed Rockling, Jiangxi Style pickled mustard greens and turnip with chilli is just a big flavour bomb! It is sweet, salty, spicy, it is everything in one plate! It is such a surprise when you eat it, the sauce is just heaven. We could literally drink that sauce. Beautiful! 

Okay, the last one, Red braised Pork, shredded with Chilli, Ginger, and Black vinegar. This pork is cooked in a master stock for over 24h and it is so tender it breaks in your mouth as soon you pop it in and the flavour WOW. Just fantastic! 

 

I promise you, sometimes it helps to open up some buttons to fit that last piece in..
