Kingfish Sashimi + Prawn Cakes
Betel Leaves with Crab + Wok Fried Squid
This week we have tried some pretty great new restaurants, the first being Mekong Baby on Ponsonby Rd for a family catch up lunch.
We love that that like their relation, Banque in Remuera, they have adopted the trend of small and large sharing plates - always makes for a fun dining experience, unless you are not a sharer.
The cuisine is a South East Asian fusion with bold flavours. We went for most of the small plates and will definitely be back to have a go at the larger ones (curry type dishes).
We recommend that you try the Prawn Cakes, Kingfish Sashimi, Wok Fried Squid, Vietnamese Pork Roll (similar flavours to the Blue Breeze Inn's Pork Buns), Betel Leaves with Crab, Grilled Wagyu in Betel leaves and to finish the Palm Sugar Ice-cream Sundae (Similar to salted caramel).
Overall we thought that Mekong Baby is a top notch edition to the Ponsonby Rd strip with lots of exciting dishes and flavours. We can't wait to get back there!
