Hello Food Lovers,

This is our final menu before we take a little break to travel. We’ll be back with more delicious food after our travels, but before we go, we have two dishes we’re very excited to share with you.

✨ Chongqing Noodles with Buff or Mushroom & Puffed Tofu

Served with bok choy, spring onions and crushed roasted peanuts.

Chongqing noodles are known for their bold, spicy and numbing flavour, combining chilli oil, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, ginger and aged black vinegar. Our version is served with noodles, bok choy and your choice of tender buff or mushroom and puffed tofu, then finished with spring onions and crunchy roasted peanuts.

If you’re a fan of spicy noodles, this one is definitely for you.

✨ Nasi Lemak with Crispy Chicken or Tofu

Served with coconut rice, homemade sambal, a boiled egg, roasted peanuts, cucumber, small dried anchovies (ikan bilis) and a prawn cracker.

We made this dish back in 2023 and it was a real hit, so we’re bringing it back with a few changes to the recipe and the addition of a crispy prawn cracker.

Our version features fragrant coconut rice served with crispy fried chicken thigh or tofu, our homemade sambal, savoury ikan bilis, boiled egg, roasted peanuts and fresh cucumber.

The vegetarian version comes with crispy fried tofu, boiled egg, roasted peanuts, cucumber and a vegetarian “prawn” cracker.

Hello Food Lovers,

✨ Vietnamese Phở with Buff or Mushroom & Tofu

Served with 5 mm rice noodles, fresh onion, basil, beans sprout, coriander and spring onions. Hoisin sauce and homemade Vietnamese chilli sate (like a chilli oil/paste) for extra umami and heat.

Our buff phở features a slow-cooked, aromatic buff broth infused with traditional phở spices and aromatics, creating a rich and deeply flavourful soup and tender slices of buff meat. The vegetarian version is made with a fragrant vegetable broth while keeping all the classic phở aromatics and served with oyster mushrooms and tofu. Both are served with soft rice noodles and fresh herbs for a comforting and warming bowl.

✨ Singaporean Fried Rice with Prawns or King Oyster Mushrooms

Cooked with egg, carrots, peas and corn and garnished with fresh coriander.

What sets Singaporean fried rice apart is the addition of curry powder, giving the rice its distinctive savoury, aromatic flavour and a beautiful hint of spice. Choose between juicy prawns or king oyster mushrooms, tossed with vegetables and egg for a deliciously satisfying fried rice.

If you like to add heat to your fried rice, let us know at the time of booking and we’ll add a spicy condiment in your order for you. 🌶️

Hello Food Lovers,

✨ Turkish Adana Set

✨ Thai Yen Ta Fo

Choose from Prawns or King Oyster Mushrooms & Shiitake Mushrooms.

Served with 5 mm rice noodles in a chicken broth made completely from scratch. Our signature pink broth gets its natural colour from fermented red bean curd and our own Umami Sriracha—without any artificial food colouring—giving it a softer, more natural pink hue.

The seafood version is served with prawns, fish balls, puffed tofu and bok choy, while the vegetarian version features king oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, puffed tofu and bok choy. Both are finished with garlic oil and fresh coriander for a comforting bowl full of authentic Thai flavours.
