(available from today, all day, all weekend)

soup special: roasted chunky vegetable & Kimchi chowder. Is mildly spicy. (Sophia Slug sez: ask for "extra fire" if you fancy it extra fiery)

things to share-share: rustic spinach & potato croquetteZ (yep, you heard that. CroquetteZ. Louise Slug calls it "p & s croquetteZ" - everybody say CROQUETTEZZZZZZZZ), served w/ a zingy ginger citron dip by side

comfort food special: tender five-spice pulled pork over linguine ~ in a rich tomato sauce w/ chunky carrots & mushrooms. (Jian Yun Slug sez: "A touch of heat completes this almost "huggable" dish.) In fact, it's so huggable he even wrote an Ode to Pulled Pork.

pizza special: Mexicano Chicken w/ Jalapeños ~ tender chicken strips w/ lots of capsicum, onion, olives and jalapeño. Served with Cholula Hot Sauce. (or you can make José Slug happy and call it the El Cuadro Pizza Mexicano)

handcrafted dessert special #1: apple cranberry streusel w/ exotic spices, served with a generous scoop of vanilla gelato

handcrafted dessert special #2: dark chocolate & nutella in a wildberry tartshell, served w/ fruit melange

Booze: CircleMaster (4.7% ABV) would go best with this week's specials. The CircleMaster conducts a melody of refreshing citrus and delightful malt flavour, rounded off with a spicy bittersweet finish.

Or if you prefer something red to go with a certain Public Holiday coming up on Monday, consider the Brothers Strawberry-Pear Cider (4% ABV). Bursting of strawberry aroma, bright & refreshing, it's fast becoming a firm favourite amongst our weekend Slugphiles..! Read more about this special cider here.
