I dined at Cicada for the second time last week, both of which were exceptionally good.
Me and my partner started in the bar enjoying the selection of cocktails which is apparently new. My favourite was probably the wan chai margherita (crazy combination of tequila, watermelon & coriander- and of course lime).
Before too many we took a seat on a booth in the restaurant. Immediately I felt it was the exact atmosphere we were in need of- comfortable & relaxed but perhaps a little quiet (it was a Tuesday).
The food- wow! I'm very used to eating out in China Town as my father is half Chinese- I must say there's a couple of dim sum (such as the chilli salt squid) that were suprisingly much better at Cicada. It was very tempting to order more dim sum but we stopped ourselves before our mains… mmm…! The lovely waiter recommended of course the black cod which we were inevitably going to have since reading reviews, and we also selected the beef fillet with asparagus and black pepper. All I can say is that if you ever decide to eat at Cicada then order these dishes!
I'm looking forward to returning!
