I ordered bbq roast duck and pork plate with crispy noodles. It came with some greens. It wasn’t what I expected or my cup of tea. The skin on the duck, I expected to be crispy but it was more of a chewy texture. The meat was tender, and a nice clean flavour but I was put off by bones that weren’t immediately apparent, so I had to pull it out my mouth and be more careful.

I was questioned about why I didn’t mention it earlier and told, “You’ve nearly finished your food, why are you saying something now?”
There was no apology or accountability for what was clearly a mistake on their part. I left the food and walked out disappointed. I used to come here regularly, but after this experience, I won’t...
