Stories' restaurant with a view – where modern Asian cuisine cooked over flames + coals takes centre stage 🥢 Stories’ restaurant with a view.

KARLA draws inspiration from the Noongar word for ‘fire’, creating a culinary haven, where modern Asian cuisine cooked over flames and coals takes centre stage. KARLA’s culinary team is led by Thai-born Head Chef, Ben Pienprasop – formerly of Melbourne’s iconic Chin Chin and is overseen by Exec Chef, Sundoo Kim. They use only fresh, locally sourced produce and native Australian ingredients. KARLA showcases a carefully curated drinks list that features over 100 Australian w**es and spirits, complimented with cocktails showcasing native Australian flair.

MOO PING PORK SKEWER, smoked coconut & tamarind glaze, lemon.

A dish with a personal connection to Head Chef Kya, inspired by the traditional Thai pork skewers her mother would prepare as a pre-school snack! A childhood favourite reimagined for the KARLA menu.

12 HOUR PORK RIBS, burnt orange, nuoc cham, rice noodle salad, chilli.

Slow-cooked for 12 hours until tender, then finished over fire for caramelisation and char. Burnt orange brings a bittersweet edge, balanced by the acidity of nuoc cham, fresh rice noodle salad and chilli.
