Chef Made’s philosophy is to always cook fresh and honest food. To this end, he ensures discerning diners have only the very best and brings in delicately flavoured spiny lobsters from Indonesia’s Arafura Sea that he turns into a tantalising, Cognac-flamed delight that deservedly takes pride of place on the Arwana menu.
