Dinner was out this evening: we went to Walrus, on Manchester High Street. Most satisfactory.Myn started on tempura squid, while I enjoyed thai fishcakes. Mains were crispy pork and a beef mussaman curry, both served with a sufficiency of sticky rice.
Now, regular readers of this blog will be reminded of some menu descriptions from our time in Cambodia. Indeed, the full menu included many items that gave me a brief flashback to many an evening spent trying to decide how to feed twelve hungry mouths.
Anyway, the food was lovely; the house wine was a surprisingly pleasant ugni blanc / colombard from Gascony; and the service was faily attentive, well informed and quite attractive. The decor is a little eclectic / modern Japanesee, but not startlingly so for all that.
Would recommend it, and would definately go again. A Rob Rave.

Wow. A Beatles reference I actually understood before I read the post itself.
I remember a fellow hack once reviewed a tepid, wallpapery seafood meal, and the best thing he could say in his piece about his uninspiring dish was: "the fish was very white." We took the piss out of him for weeks for that nugget of culinary revelation.
It should be pointed out, however, that vegetarians are not going to be entirely happy, as vegan spring roll starters can only take you so far.
