We ate dinner here in February 2021.

Pumpkin and potato croquettes
Pork belly skewers
BBQ jackfruit quesadillas
Fried chicken

In the past we’ve really enjoyed jackfruit, and would even suggest that it’s a good substitute for traditional meat filling in a quesadilla, being most similar to pulled pork. Unfortunately the jackfruit was a bit underwhelming, and there was no discernable BBQ taste. The chicken was a bit too spicy, but because they were dusted with chilli some pieces were much spicier than others. The croquettes were great, and were really crunchy on the outside. The Fee-Rex doesn’t normally like pork belly, but these skewers were exceptional. They were sticky, sweet, and very juicy, frankly we could smash some more of them right now.
