IN GOOD SPIRITS
Despite a rampaging one-man wrecking ball inflicting much damage on the Spirit House, Helen Flanagan, has some ideas for how to support this much-loved icon.
Co-owner Acland Brierty said he and his brother arrived at their contemporary Asian restaurant about 5.30am and “found a man still banging away. It looked like a house demolishing machine had destroyed the building. It was insane.”
Acland hopes business insurance will cover the repairs, wages of 52 staff, as well as the 10 casuals. “The knock-on effect not only means bookings had to be cancelled, but also orders from local farmers, producers, wine suppliers, and more.”
Remember the red and gold-painted steel double doors, the winding path fringed by soaring bamboo trees, the cool feel of a rainforest, the air scented with sandalwood, mixed with coriander and ginger coming from the cooking school, water dragons imitating statues as they watched you eat, and ducks gliding by on the lake?
Let’s keep the Spirit up-tempo with tantalising shopping on-line, booking and buying vouchers for the cooking school and restaurant, book-ahead functions, and why not enjoy the Spirit at home.
At the time of us going to print, The Hong Sa Bar with its own kitchen is another option for private dining for groups of 12 or more with drinks in the courtyard and an exclusive banquet menu. Frozen curries are also available for pick-up from Wednesday to Sunday and delivery is available every Thursday. Order on-line.
The Cooking School is about to re-open
7 days a week for hands-on classes followed by lunch/dinner with wine.
Visit the on-line shop for great gift ideas and keep feeding the Spirit!
