The masterpiece of the set menu is definitely the massive Papi Chulo BBQ Platter, which showcases the best of the restaurant’s grill and had all the carnivorous males on the table salivating. We dipped back into the seafood side of the menu with some Jumbo King Prawns, butterflied and grilled beautifully, coated in an exotic Asian lemongrass and coconut dressing. But the mix of all those elements worked well to complement the softened cauliflower, encrusted with brown butter crumbs. I was a bit sceptical about the next dish, which was Roast Cauliflower with romesco sauce and parmesan cheese, as I’m not a fan of cauliflower since it’s usually quite bland. The wings were cooked to perfection, with crispy skin and succulent chicken meat on the inside, taken to the next level when dunked in that spicy, creamy Comeback Sauce that we just couldn’t get enough of. Next up, we had some Hiramasa Kingfish Sashimi, which was jazzed up with some zesty turmeric juice, creme fraiche and sprigs of dill to bring out the freshness of the kingfish slivers.Īfter the first two light courses, it was time to move onto the more substantial part of the menu – starting with a basket of those glorious Smoked Hot Wings. The guac didn’t look particularly impressive at first glance, but was much tastier than we expected thanks to the hints of onion blended in – so tasty that we mopped up the rest of the bowl even after the tortilla chips were all gone.
To kick off the meal, we shared a bowl of Pea Guacamole with some crunchy tortilla chips. To share the love, the next time we went back with a bunch of our friends to celebrate a few birthdays together and ordered the 9 course set menu for $65 per person (which of course, includes a course of the hot wings!).īecause we were a large group of 10, they seated us in a small booth which had a lovely view of the water off Manly wharf, enhancing the breezy, nautical vibe of the restaurant. The first time we dropped into Papi Chulo on Manly wharf, we got addicted to their aptly named Smoked Hot Wings with Comeback Sauce and vowed to return for more.
