Rice Paper Sister

Rice Paper Scissors’ sister restaurant (aptly called Rice Paper Sister) had a lot to live up to when it recently opened its door considering its sibling’s success. But patrons will not be disappointed when eating at this slightly more sophisticated venue (that actually takes bookings). 

Giving Supernormal’s lobster rolls a run for their money, our starter of fried lobster rolls was the sort of dish worth dreaming about.  I know what you’re thinking - why spoil a beautiful piece of fresh lobster by frying it - but trust me, if you were to try this tasty little morsel you would also be converted -  a true highlight of my night. Although for my fellow diner, the highlight was the special starter of the day ‘tuna on toast’ - sashimi grade tuna topped with black caviar. 

For our main, we had the special of sweet and sour crispy barrumundi. Being allergic to pineapple, I thought that this was definitely off the menu for me - but even on a busy Friday night, the kitchen were incredibly accommodating and re-crafted the dish for me so it was pineapple free - and with the result of a dish just bursting with flavour. 

Whilst I’ve never been known to be a fan of Asian inspired deserts, Rice Paper Sister’s apple pie is a must - wrapped in deliciously buttery roti, this pie is up there with one of the best deserts in Melbourne. They even put a birthday candle on the top for us being our fellow diner's birthday. 

 
Incredible food paired with incredible staff, it’s no wonder that Rice Paper Sister is the new fave.
