For all those poor souls who’ve broken up with gluten, there’s a lengthy list of gluten-free items available – and believe it or not, they actually taste good. If you’re suffering from the winter time sniffles, do yourself a favour and tuck into a bowl of khao tom, which is a chicken rice soup with Chinese celery, coriander, green onion, bean sprouts and egg. It’s the best god damn chicken soup going ‘round – yes, even better than your mum’s. Another stand out is the pandan French toast with cinnamon, caramel, banana, smashed cashews and coconut ice cream. Though, it’s only available for Sunday brunch, which runs from 10.30am – 5.30pm. This is also when you can find the famous pork belly with chilli caramel, apple slaw, and black vinegar. Additionally, the brunch menu includes a dazzling interpretation of sausage and egg muffins: steamed buns filled with sweet pork sausage, scrambled egg, cucumber pickle and coriander. Red Spice are pretty generous when it comes to sating your desire for a good hearty curry. You can take your pick between a hopping rabbit curry, a quacking bowl of duck or a your-kidding goat curry. If you’re in the mood for socialising you can seat yourself at one of the long timber communal tables, but if you’re not into sharing, why not head to the bar and drink in the action on Artemis Lane.
