Yan restaurant is the newest creation from the brains behind John Montagu and Ms Murray (recently closed down). "Yan" literally means "smoke" in Chinese, and this pretty much gives you a good idea of what the restaurant has to offer. The menu covers a nice selection of smoked meat with Asian inspired flavours. Being "meat lovers" and fond of smoked meat, we thought we must come and try this new restaurant given it's previous good track record.

| Pork belly $26 | Lamb ribs $24 |
The pork belly was also very nice and packed with smokiness. It has a nice chew to it, but personally I prefer a "melt in your mouth" texture.

| Asian greens $8 |

| Olive rice $6 |

| Coconut 2 ways $15 |
Yep, can't call it a meal without dessert. So even though we were already quite full, we still have to make room for dessert and I'm glad we did. What you see is what you get, the dessert is served in it's original coconut shell. The young coconut juice was turned into this refreshing light coconut jelly with a scoop of creamy coconut ice cream on top and finished with some roast shredded coconut chips. It was brilliant how one ingredient can be turned into so many textures and flavours. Instead of calling this dish Coconut 2 ways, it should be Coconut 4 ways (the 4th way is the remaining young coconut flesh inside the shell which can be scooped out with a bit of effort).
