With a name apt for its location within Melbourne's legal district, the venue is modern but inviting, offering a range of traditional, and some would say adventurous, Asian inspired dishes (anyone for the offal plate which comes complete with pig's ears and tripe?)
On this occasion we ordered the Shangdong fried chicken with crispy garlic and fragrant chilli, and the Sichuan Tan Tan noodles - wheat noodles with a miso and sesame broth, topped with a spicy Sichuan pork and chilli topping.
The fried chicken was everything you want good fried chicken to be - crisp and well seasoned on the outside, whilst remaining juicy and tender on the inside. But don't be fooled, just because they come nestled within a number of dry chilli's, these tasty little morsels actually don't have much of a kick.
The Tan Tan noodles were also outstanding - the broth was fragrant without being overly oily, the noodles still had a bite and the topping of Sichuan pork was just bursting with flavour. However again, don't be scared away by the use of the term "spicy" - whilst this dish was definitely delicious, it also lacked any spicy kick!
Bought to you by chef Victor Liong, the very same man behind Lee Ho Fook, there were already high expectations on entering this venue. However, Lawyers, Guns and Money definitely hit the mark is a stand out lunch venue in the legal district of the CBD.
