This is the island's newest and most experimental restaurant. There are many good and intriguing things about it: It deliberately prices meals several notches below the rates charged by other restaurants in the same resort. You'll quickly get the sense that this is a hipster kind of place serving hipster cuisine -- in fact, every dish you've ever liked from every Asian menu you've ever looked at all seems to have found its way onto the menu here. Each member of this restaurant's Bahamian waitstaff spent several months studying the preparation and context of Asian food and Asian culture, and they'll guide you through a menu composed of many different small and medium-size dishes. These you'll compose into combinations that don't necessarily follow Western dining rituals. The best menu items include aromatic crispy duck; Mongolian-style chicken and beef hot pot; fresh tofu stir-fried with minced pork, garlic, and chili; seared ahi tuna
tataki with
yazu lemon sauce; and a succulent blend of octopus and local conch with cucumbers in rice vinegar. You can also order meticulously carved portions of chicken breast, shrimp, pork tenderloin, filet mignon, lobster tail, salmon, or mahimahi prepared in any of three different ways: Cantonese, Sichuan dry-rubbed, or teriyaki-style.
