A wonderful night was had at last night's Gourmet Traveller Reader Dinner in the belly of the city at the newly opened Spice Temple. Cocktails accompanied the delicious words we were served to start then fine wines followed throughout the night. Neil Perry spoke with stunning eloquence of his experience of China and his offerings at Spice Temple - it reminded me to use more words like 'wonderful', 'nuance', 'vim', 'harmony' and 'Xinjiang' - OK maybe not the last one.
The service was fantastic, the flavours were fresh, sometimes fierce but always original. Highly recommend and eagerly awaiting Rockpool Bar & Grill's opening upstairs.
