The Hearth & Kiln

Great Thai fusion food, small plates, open kitchen. First thing we tired, the beef with dill and coriander was cooked brilliantly, with a refreshing sauce too. The Gaiyang chicken with smoked chilli I highly recommend it, super juicy and tender. We also had rump that was cooked exactly to our liking, they’re really good at this. The clay pot glass noodle is a must order, every table had one, it’s flavourful though I can’t really taste the tamworth belly or crab meat in it. Finally the jungle curry with smoked kippers are lovely too. They don’t have a lot of seatings and this place is quite crowded especially at dinner times. I do like that the menu often changes so we can try new things. One small complaint would be we got seated right by the door, and their corridor isn’t the widest, they don’t have the most comfortable seats either, mostly bar tables and it gets slightly chilly everytime people come in and out. It’s a cosy vibe but the music is quite loud so conversation is slightly harder. The seats right in front of the open kitchen do look cool though. Nonetheless lovely attentive service.
