Begin with an entree of sesame-crumbed seared tuna with wakami seaweed, marinated fennel and wasabi aioli. The terrine of rabbit and duck with haloumi fritters and confit of tomato served with curried mayonnaise and a balsamic reduction is another dish that might take your fancy. The Blue Frog signature dish of fragrant seafood curry swimming with Moreton Bay bugs, mussels, scallops and ocean fish served with aromatic pandan coconut rice has definite wow-factor.
