the beef Rossini is a hit and miss depending on catering service of the destination you fly from and the crew
please note that the foie gras/goose liver is not a pan fried fresh one but a pate
once it was forgotten totally and once it was served only after I asked for (nearly frozen)
the most miserable beef quality I had out of Sydney

the lamb saltimbocca is a very strange dish; the original saltimbocca is with veal, smoked ham and sage and no sauce! this fits perfectly together.
the TG dish is lamb, smoked ham and a black pepper corn sauce which really does not fit together

the thai curries are good but of course a bit too mild in comparison with the ones you get in Thailand's non tourist focused restaurants
