Usually when someone tries to do fusion food, it tends to end up in confusion, however this is NOT the case at Hon's BBQ.
After years of training and development, Hon has managed to find a perfect balance of Texas BBQ and Regional Chinese flavours.
I was on a serious mission so invited a bunch of close friends and family to ensure that we got to taste every item on the menu. The waiting staff were extremely helpful with our order, assigning perfect portions of each dish for our group size.
As each dish came out, we were blown away with all the flavours. The pork ribs were unctuous, the Xian lamb breast had a perfect cumin spice, the Ox cheeks fell apart and pork belly cubes were divine.
Surprisingly, the vegetable dishes were standout including the master stock tofu, green beans and cauliflower with smoked corn sauce.
Then came the signature Sichuan beef short ribs, which while superb was oddly not my favourite dish.
Another slight miss was probably the smoked duck pancakes which, while not a bad dish, lacked finesse. Plus the fact nothing can beat actual wood fired duck in Peking!
The premises is spacious and bustling while the vibe is great. The staff were all amazing and Hon was a great host.
If there are some improvements to be made, I suggest that they explore having an actual bar menu and mixologist to offer some unique cocktails as opposed to the canned options.
Overall, one of my favourite restaurant meals of the year!
