Halifax


Asian fusion of the first order: sticky hoisin-braised ribs, pork- and fish-curry ramen, Thai salads and Japanese 'Karaage' chicken dinners, with pickles, fried rice and spicy gochujang mayo. It's good for non meat-eaters, too: most dishes can be made with tofu. Order a tiki cocktail, an event in itself.
