Chef Derek and his wife arrived perfectly on time and they both had a wonderfully warm and friendly demeanour. We immediately were very excited for the meal that we would be having later that night.

They immediately went to work and within 20 mins, the kitchen and the house had a wonderful aroma of lemongrass throughout.

Our dinner flow was slightly complicated that night as we had 3 young children that had to early before the adults and Chef Derek had no issues at all accommodating for that. Chef Derek had prepared a great meal for the kids where he made sure there was no spiciness to make it child friendly.

After the kids were fed, we moved onto the main event for the 7 adults.
We started with a welcome drink that was lemongrass based but we felt was maybe a bit on the sweet side for our tastes, so maybe ask to reduce the sweetness if you aren't into that.
The starters were a squid and mango salad which was very nice and spicy and a flower crab meat soup that had large pieces of coconut meat that worked really well with the flower crab.

Then the main courses came out and they were all winners. Curry chicken, Pork Belly (Tau Yu Bak), Pineapple prawn, Whole Grouper in banana leaf with amazing homemade sambal.

The real big winner for us though was the Rendang Curry Ox Tail, this was such a unique dish as we normal have beef rendang with just normal beef cubes but having oxtail meant that the beef was incredible tender and flavourful.

To finish off the meal we had asked to try his signature laksa from his restaurant Nonya Coming and we were not disappointed. Full of flavour and definitely some of the most authentic you can find in Hong Kong. Note that this laksa is the curry version that you find in Sinagpore/Malaysia and not the rather more unique Asam Laksa, which is more a sour broth based soup that you find specifically in Penang.

We then finished off with two desserts of Black Sticky Rice with coconut milk and also a Kaya Kuih, both very good too.

I highly recommend chef Derek and this meal but I would say that the amount of food was massive. We only had 7 adults and I would say that it could have fed at least 10 adults very comfortably. So do take that into consideration if you are to book this menu.
