Those of you who frequent social media would no doubt have seen the extensive posts about the flashing neon restaurant that is Daiki at Sunnybank Hills. Earlier on, Dr L and I were lucky enough to dine as guests of Brisvegustation and share our thoughts about the place.
The menu offered a very diverse range of dishes from BBQ skewers, rice, noodle, dry pot and some seafood and a fairly extensive drink menu. We placed our order and service was friendly and attentive throughout the evening.
Drinks wise we got the signature Fiery Rose cocktail and the hot Thai Milk Tea with egg white. The cocktail was fairly strong and had a theatrical presentation keeping with the theme of the restaurant. It was tangy and fruity. Brisvegustation enjoyed the Thai Milk Tea but the double layered glass cup was definitely very insulating and masked the heat of the beverage well.
Our food did not take long to arrive at all, perhaps helped by the fact the restaurant wasn't too busy.
Continuing on my skewer quest across Brisbane, we had the Wagyu beef and pork belly skewers. These were generous in size with the meat being fairly consistent large chunks although the seasoning could have been a bit more flavoursome. I did however appreciate the tenderness of the wagyu and the fact that the pork belly wasn't overly fatty either.
Our other set of skewers was the lamb. As usual it was even more tender and juicy than the beef. We also had a serve of black truffle fried rice which was generous in portion and flavoursome, although I would have liked to see a bit more wagyu in the dish.
The main event of our meal was the Chongxing Wanzhou Roasted fish with garlic sauce. It came in a portable stove lined with paper. The fish was barely visible from underneath the garlic sauce but it was soft and tender. I particularly enjoyed the sauce which was unbelievably powerful and fragrant, going well with our fried rice.
Overall we had a fantastic time at Daiki and I would be glad to visit again soon.
