Dining at the Archipelago is not for the faint hearted. The exotic decor, courtesy buddha statues, over the top fragrances, peacock feathers, and wild cuisine is bound to overwhelm you. The menu includes dishes made from crocodile, kangaroo and peacock and are named as interestingly. There are tamer dishes, such as the Caribbean Crop (jerked vegetable, cashew and callaloo stir-fry with lavender rice). If not, go all out with the Hot Marsupial (Cambodian marinated kangaroo fillet with Nepalese potatoes and pak choi) or the Rajasthan Strut (peacock-on-a-date with a tomato and vanilla confit). The Geisha's Kiss (coconut rice and exotic fruit sushi with black treacle dip and green tea) and other desserts are delightful.
