The food menu will take you on a delicious trip through the streets of Asia, starting with small bites like soft shell crab; crispy pork belly with hot English mustard, mayo and pickles; prawn toast; lamb ribs (battered and deep-fried); cauliflower sauteed in satay sauce or Peking Duck spring roll or kingfish and salmon sashimi.
