Chilli Fest at Madame Hanoi
Drop it like it's hot and head to Madame Hanoi this June for their Chilli Fest! Head Chef Sean Thomas has found an array of unique ways to infuse South-East Asian chilli into each dish that's available through the duration of the festival. From chilli salted egg yolk featured in this year’s Red Curry Beef Tartare, to green chilli apple gel atop Freshly Shucked Coffin Bay Oysters. Need to cool down after a few too many chillis? There's no better way to do it than with a refreshing margarita to accompany your meal, whether it be chilli, mango, passionfruit or guava.
It's a hot event you won't want to miss out on, so gather your friends and head on down.
