✨ HighlightBack to our favourite Asian Restaurant. And they didn't disappoint at all. From scrumptious Asian cheese puffs and dimsum for starters, to expertly cooked salmon and fish in front of us. Oodles of noodles and egg fried rice you can't master at home. Ending off with not only a cauldron of cocktail bubbles and whiskey, but quirky fortune cookies and a lesson in origami. Thanks for this awesome experience.→
