There is always something new to discover at Five foot road .
Like an intriguing Wok fried abalone with wheat (pasta?) that seemed to me to be essentially identical to fregola , paired with a sauce of minced pork and a variety of peppers . The chewiness of the fregola was extremely satisfying .
Cubed Australian Wagyu and porcini in mushroom sauce is a dish I have had a few times , the beef was terrifically juicy on this occasion.
Speaking of juicy the pan fried pork and water chestnut were certainly that , good robust flavour as well.
Chilled noodles were served with pickled chilli sauce , some Sichuan pepper, celery and shredded chicken . This would be a great summer lunch dish .
The final discovery was a glutinous rice and pork belly dish that is a traditional Sichuan CnY dish and can be served as the rice course or as dessert . The rice and pork were mixed with red bean, brown sugar and pistachios and was a very moorish finale.
Great meal as always and great to meet @alena.cym who has recently joined the FFR team !
