Nighttime streetscape with glitter pillow. In the lounge at Mehtaphor. Where the short menu of dishes designed to “redefine global cuisine” did not win me over immediately. Truffled goat cheese and crab pizza? Seems a bit tired, no? But this was different, delicious. (It was exactly what it said it was but better than that.) And the coriander-crusted cod in banana leaf: almost sounds boring. But wow: deeply spicy, surprisingly succulent. And this is how the night continued.
