Waiting for Gaz to arrive at Liverpool Street so we can go into the restaurant together (they would not give entry unless everyone in the group is present), my heart is racing and there are butterflies in my stomach. Thoughts racing through my mind, 'Will the Lamb Ribs still be on the menu?', 'Will there be 5 dishes I would like to eat on the menu?' and importantly, 'Will the second time be as good as the first?'.
The last time I tried Rice Paper Scissors was during a weekday lunch time. Rushing though we were, I had a really nice time devouring all their signature dishes like the Lamb Ribs. I still love those meltingly soft lamb ribs and the flavours are intoxicating.
This time, we ordered the same lamb ribs, chargrilled beef with mustard leaf wraps, whole fried snapper, soft shell crab baguette and sticky pork belly.

My favourite dish is the lamb ribs - they were just so flavourful, and tender. Eating it, I felt like a Neanderthal savaging the meat while holding onto the end of the bone. I could even make Neanderthal noises while eating it, they were so good. But I think that would just look too weird...
The best value dish is the fried whole snapper. We love to eat fish and the whole fish with eyes staring back at us did not deter us. The snapper tasted good with the spicy chilli dressing on the side.
My least favourite dish is probably the soft shell crab baguette. The ratio of soft shell crab and bun was wrong - mine had too much bun and not enough soft shell to go around each mouthful.
The feed me menu costs $59 per couple for a selection of 5 dishes.
