This marvellous way of cooking not only improves flavour and is aesthetically pleasing, but the anti-microbial surface of the block and the more than 80 trace minerals it houses make it a healthy alternative with a more complex, refined taste than that provided by ordinary table salt. Sourced from naturally occurring Himalayan salt, this method of serving is just as integral to the overall providing of an authentic Asian dining experience as the food itself. The standout here is the selection of fresh fish served on an orange salt slab, with diners given the choice between a grilled whole sea bass or salmon trout filet, a Greenland halibut filet, and two sizes of coral trout. Your enviable position does not end here, as patrons must then decide on their topping, with options spanning a spicy sriracha sauce, a yakitori glaze, a rock salt flake and garlic rosemary, and blackened seasoning. All of these seafood dishes are complemented nicely by fresh, lightly spiced potato wedges and a house salad that adds some bright splashes of colour to your meal. After only a short preparation period, watch as this magic unfolds before your very eyes. Those who prefer something a little more traditional may find themselves leaning towards steak served on a classic stone, and with a handful of the most delectable meat cuts to choose from, meat lovers will relish the opportunity to sample their trusted favourites with a unique twist. From its grass-fed medallion and filet mignon through to the Australian black angus sirloin and rib eyes, the steak dishes at Rock Salt restaurant truly special. This is not to mention the seasonal premium Australian Wagyu steaks that round out these delicious options. With a lobster tail and foie gras available as add-ons, all served with a carb-based and a vegetable or salad side, your ultimate steak experience awaits. R
