I have never dined in the Spice Temple restaurant, just the
bar area. Spice Temple is incredibly dark, making it difficult to take
pictures. It kind of reminds me of an opium den (not that I have been in one)! One thing that I can recommend if you are dining at the bar is
the Guangxi pork bun, which is only served at the bar. This is much less
famous than the wagyu beef burger served at Neil Perry’s other restaurant,
Rockpool Bar and Grill, and in some ways I prefer the pork bun. The pork belly was served on a sweet, buttery and toasted brioche
bun. Very crispy pork crackling. I actually found the crackling
to be a little bit too hard and hard to bite through in places. The meat was
tender, fatty and delicious. The sauce was well spiced and had a nice amount of heat. The
heat was well balanced with the freshness of the crispy cucumber slices and
coriander.
