Firebird
At the centre of it all is a half-bird cooked over open flames, its skin charred and crisp, infused with a burnt chilli nuoc mam that’s equal parts spicy, tangy, and deliciously addictive. It’s the type of sauce that demands attention – perfect for those who like their flavours intense and unapologetic.
Diners get to pair the chicken with two sides from a list that’s refreshingly thoughtful, far beyond the standard “sides for show”:
- Steamed jasmine rice to soak up every bold drop.
- Wok-tossed greens in Vietnamese sate, adding an earthy, smoky element.
- A vibrant papaya salad with lime, green apple, and peanuts – sharp, fresh, and crunchy.
- Grilled corn topped with salted duck egg and puffed rice, a rich, savoury surprise.
Adding to the experience, each week Firebird’s team selects a wine to match the meal’s depth, available by the glass or bottle. The pairing brings another layer, a perfect counterpoint to the dish’s smokiness and spice.
With its open flames and attention to detail, Firebird turns Wednesday night into a bit of an occasion – perfect for those needing a mid-week lift.
