"An
original and sociable dining experience has been recreated here. The
Mongolian Feast (all you can eat, £15.95) gives a choice of starter
and dessert, but between them you select your own ingredients before
watching them being cooked on a huge wok descending from the upturned
shields warriors once used. The choice of meats includes wild boar and
ostrich, whilst inclusion of fish, tofu and many vegetables means vegetarians
can enjoy it to the full. For starters we had gahainy mah (roasted yak
ribs in smokey barbecue sauce) and the fabulous tin gai (sweet spicy
peanut salad). Luckily for those with more appetite than creativity,
recipe suggestions are provided, so with two trips each we tried sweet
and sour yurk wild boar, emperor’s pleasure lamb, nomad’s
dish ostrich and horde’s feast tuna. For dessert we chose tau
luk (iced white chocolate terrine with fresh strawberry coulis) and
ting yi (minestrone of fresh fruit with lemon sorbet). There is also
a pre-theatre menu (£8.95) and free membership discount scheme.
It won’t make you feel like a Mongolian warrior, just pleased
to have eaten like one!".
