Asian eats with a view: Great Eastern Food Bar

I just love the Great Eastern Food Bar! You can sit on the balcony overlooking the Parks sipping on a Sake Ginger Spritzer (my summer favourite) or a knock-your-socks-off Warm Sake Jar. The menu is small but interesting, from dumplings to whole steamed fish, all the items are Asian inspired and packed with flavour. They are famous for their Ramen, but don’t miss their Ebi Tori (some of the most delicious prawns I’ve had in ages!) and the papaya salad – yum!
