Twelv’s the magic number
Twelv has been around for nearly four years now. A fact which surprised me as I thought it opened much more recently. Four years in the restaurant industry is a pretty enviable achievement especially in Brunei’s small and fickle market.
I was curious to find out what makes Twelv tick, and so last night, us foodies, minus T and E, trooped into Twelv accompanied by a guest writer whom I invited to join us, to partake in a meal fit for kings. Thank you very much to my guest writer for providing the write-up! Enjoy!
What a great night it was! The restaurant’s ambiance, delicious food, cocktails, relaxed company, flowing conversation interrupted by moments of appreciative nods and mmmmm’s during eating all contributed to a thoroughly enjoyable evening for us at TWELV Café and Restaurant.
We started off with their Signature Mojitos and Peach Melba Smoothie. The former is highly recommended, a refreshing mix of lime juice, lemonade and mint leaves, for a scorching day or when you simply need a drink with a kick in it!
Appetizers came in the form of Baked Scallops with a Teriyaki Sauce served on Half Shells, Crispy (breadcrumb coated) Calamari Rings served with a choice of tartar and sweet chilli sauces, Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls filled with chicken pieces or prawns and fresh crunchy carrot and cucumber strips served with a peanut hoisin sauce, and believe it or not by unanimous agreement, a serving of Crispy Chicken Skin which proved very moreish!
