If you're looking for a dining experience that screams luxury, glamour, and just the right amount of extra, The Ivy Asia at St. Paul's is the place to be.
My friend and I went on Monday (February 3), to sample the menu, and let me tell you - this spot did not disappoint.
From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was striking.

The glowing green floor, elegant cherry blossom trees, and ambient lighting created a sophisticated yet inviting space.
Service was seamless, from the staff taking our coats at the door to our server Angela making us feel welcome immediately.

We started our experience with the popcorn shrimp and the pork & kimchi gyozas - both packed with flavour and priced between £10-£13.
The shrimp were crispy and light, paired with a gorgeous chilli mayonnaise, while the gyozas had a well-balanced spice and depth of flavour.

For mains, I went all out with the wok-fried lobster and duck fried rice.
The spice level was high, but as a fan of all thing's chilli, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

My friend opted for the nigiri sushi selection, and I couldn't resist stealing a bite of her snow crab gunkan.
It was creamy, delicate, and melted in my mouth - absolute sushi perfection.

On the side, we had the chilli noodles and the cucumber, peanut & coriander salad, which was super refreshing.
And because no girls' night is complete without wine, we shared a crisp bottle of Pinot that paired beautifully with everything.

I had the Samurai - a dark chocolate mousse with chocolate brownie, elegantly dusted with golden sparkles.
Rich and decadent, it was the perfect way to end the meal.
My friend chose the Green Lantern, a white chocolate & honeycomb cheesecake with vanilla ice cream and chocolate pearls.
The Ivy Asia is on the pricier side, but the experience justifies the cost.
