Sit back and let me tell you a little tale.
Once upon a time in a suburb not so far away, lived a couple who, tired of rising interest rates and petrol prices leaving them with the prospect of another night in, decided to head out in search of a fine, affordable restaurant.
Sound familiar? Well, that was our story when we stopped in for dinner at Red Belly Restaurant, nestled in the historic art deco Storrier Hotel and home to the original Tim Storrier artworks. The intimate little venue, tucked away on a quiet side street on the fringe of Kings Cross, is a breath of fresh air in the ever-tightening economy. The friendly waiting staff explained we could enjoy two courses from the Asian fusion menu and a complimentary glass of wine for $35. With an enticing menu range from oysters to soft shell crab and five-spiced duck ravioli to coriander-infused snapper, how could we refuse?

cubes simply melted in the mouth. My husband preferred the rich, flavoursome venison carpaccio with blackened asparagus, fresh blueberry and raspberry vinaigrette. For the main course, my choice of crispy-skinned salmon with spicy coconut sauce and a green pawpaw salad tantalised the tastebuds, while his braised beef cheeks in a rich, red Thai curry with rice timbale and sugar snaps were hungrily devoured.

No matter what happens next week, this chapter ends happily ever after.
