We tried the recently opened Halaal Asian food place - Origami at Lakefield Junction. It's a limited menu. (They currently don't even serve Coffee so be warned, but they do have tea) But Curated with care and each dish specifically added and made with that special touch. We tried a variety of dishes on the menu: Korean Fried Chicken Wings Bang Bang Chicken Prawn Potstickers Can't decide Bao - where you can pick 3 different types. Sadly the Lamb was still being prepared so we took the Prawn, Salmon and KFC Chicken. Only the Prawn one I found lacking in flavour like it needed some salt to bring out the taste due to the panko crumbs. From the Sushi we had: Nacho Philly roll Kataifi wrapped Philly roll Spicy crabstick volcano Double crunch Philly roll. For dessert we just shared the Sweet Thai Roti - Crispy fried roti filled with Banana and served with drizzled condensed milk and ice cream. Not too sweet, and interesting combo (considering I warm up roti and have it with butter and sugar) Drinks are obviously non alcoholic so we had the Mountain Litchiade and the Ginger and Basil Citrusaid tasty and refreshing but be weary of the small ginger pieces that get sucked up through the straw and you bite on it thinking it's a piece of fruit 😜 The design is simple yet effective. Take care to notice the paper Origami pieces on the wall. It's those small touches that add character to a space. Thanks to Thomas and the team for taking care of us and making a great meal. See you again sometime. #TheFoodMusketeer #TheFoodMusketeerEats #TheFoodMusketeerDrinks #TFMOrigami #ProudlyEastRand #Halaal #TFMHalaal
