Get Stoned at Ms G's

Ahh and the nice weather has come back! It's officially spring and there's sweetness in the air, time to venture out and try new places again. This time we are visiting Ms G's in Potts Point, a very funky modern Asian restaurant. There's actually heaps of really cool places in this area, remember "Hinky Dinks" which I also blogged about?

We went on a Wednesday night, the restaurant had just opened and we were asked to go to the top floor for a drink as they prepare for dinner service. I had the "Aloe Vera" (Absolut vanilla, limoncello, crushed lemons, Aloe Vera foam) and Jules got the "G’n & T’d Slushee (Beefeater, green apple and peach liqueurs, pink grapefruit juice, jasmine and pearls). His drink actually came packaged "Asian style", as you would get from any Asian bubble tea stall. The cup was super cute and it's nice to see this place embracing the Asian culture not just in the form of food. The aloe vera foam on my drink was quite refreshing, the drink itself was mostly dominated by the taste of limoncello but very nice regardless.

The decor is quite hipster, like what you would expect from a place like this actually. Random words or song lyrics fill the huge black wall on the one side, neon signs, dim lighting from industrial style pendants, mix match vintage chairs and plates. There's a floor length window at the end of the room which gave you a very nice view of the city as well. 

Anyhow, let's get to the food! So we got:

House-made black pudding, bbq octopus, crispy potato, chilli jam

Char-grilled fish wings, chilli nam yum, shellfish oil, crispy garlic

Beef short rib – “Roll your own adventure” green tomato & lemongrass salsa, wasabi nuoc cham, various herbs & leaves, rice paper & peanuts 

"Stoner's Delight part 3" - doughnut ice cream, peanut dulce de leche, peanut & pretzel brittle,
crispy bacon, mars bar brownie, potato chips and deep fried nutella

It's my first time trying black pudding, I've had blood before but in the jelly form so I was quite interested in seeing what black pudding tasted like texturally. It was served with bbq octopus and potatoes. The black pudding was salty, had the texture of a very moist cake and I could taste chinese five spice in it too. Jules found it too salty but I loved it, paired with a bit of potato and dressing it was just heavenly. 

The fish wings was just fins chargrilled and served with nam yum sauce. The fish was cooked just right, the flesh is firm with a little bit of bite. The tip of the fins you can literally chew on because it's so crispy, like potato chips.

If you're familiar with Vietnamese food then you'll know rice paper rolls, most Vietnamese restaurants have roll your own rice paper rolls too but this is so much better! The beef ribs by far is the best beef ribs I've had ever. The meat is still pink on the inside, slightly salty and melts in your mouth. You dip the rice paper in the bowl of water, it only needs about 2 seconds, place the paper on your paper and fill the center with vermicelli noodles, beef and fresh herbs. Roll it up, dip in sauce and put in mouth, happy days.

For dessert we went with the most awesome sounding one on the menu. "Stoner's Delight Part 3". Deep fried nutella, say what?! When it actually came, it was slightly disappointing I must say, we had imagined it to be somewhat more extravagant. The deep fried nutella is very gooey and warm on the inside, overpowering all the other elements though. I feel like after eating this dessert I need to go for a run.

We didn't get too much this time and managed to finish all our food, my favorite would have to be the beef ribs. It was just so delicious, moist and tender. Come and celebrate Asian culture at Ms G's!
