This South Asian restaurant is located on the first floor of a building that houses several restaurants, including (right next door) an outlet of Lha Kitchen. Rude Chef specializes in food from South East Asia, and though some of it (Thai green curry, for instance) is identifiably a specific dish, many of the others on the menu sounded to me like riffs on the flavours of the region, possibly fusion dishes?
We ordered two appetisers: a crunchy prawns (with two dips; one a kewpie mayo and the other a faintly spicy one with a flavour of green chillies) and a crispy calamari. We followed this up with two main courses: ageing pork curry (surprisingly, the pork came in a long thick slab sitting in the curry) and assorted mushrooms, both served with a side of rice.
The food was uniformly good. The home-brewed black sticky rice kombucha was also excellent, with an interesting aftertaste of the rice from which it was made. Service was adequate, and the ambience of the place was very pleasant. Definitely recommended.
