Drunken Monkey

The glow from the red Chinese lanterns can’t penetrate the stygian gloom of this raucous dim sum bar, yet there’s nothing gloomy about the atmosphere as it’s usually packed with suits & trendies tucking into its quirky recipe of Chinese food & oriental-themed cocktails. Food covers everything from chicken lettuce parcels & prawn sesame toasts to crispy aromatic duck with pancakes; veggies aren’t entirely forgotten but for them the pickings are rather thin. Wines are listed by style & include Knappstein ‘Three’, a Gewurztraminer/Riesling/Pinot Gris blend from South Australia; Mexican Cerveza Bohemia is by far the most exotic among the beers.
