Let’s dive into the menu:
Course One: Spring Roll

Our opening act is a crispy spring roll, packed with tender beef and fresh vegetables. Cabbage and carrots bring crunch and a boost of vitamins A and C, while mushrooms add an earthy umami flavor and immune-boosting properties. Wrapped in a delicate rice paper and paired with a sweet plum sauce, this starter is as vibrant as it is nourishing.
Health Highlight: High in fiber, antioxidants, and lean protein, this dish is a perfect way to kick off your digestive system for the meal ahead.
Course Two: Tuna Tataki
Sesame-Crusted Tuna, Ponzu Sauce, Cucumber
Next, we lighten things up with a seared sesame-crusted tuna served with ponzu and fresh cucumber. Tuna is a fantastic source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for heart and brain health. Sesame seeds add crunch and a dose of healthy fats, while the ponzu sauce introduces a bright, citrusy zing.
Health Highlight: Rich in omega-3s and antioxidants, this dish supports cardiovascular health and reduces inflammation.
Course Three: Gua Bao
Steamed Buns, Pork, Pickled Vegetables, Hoisin
This Taiwanese-inspired delight brings together melt-in-your-mouth pork with tangy pickled vegetables, all hugged by pillowy steamed buns. Fermented pickles offer gut-friendly probiotics, while hoisin sauce adds a rich sweetness that perfectly balances the savory elements.
Health Highlight: Gut-friendly probiotics, iron from the pork, and complex carbohydrates from the bun create a comforting and well-balanced course.
Course Four: Pad Thai
Pad Thai Sauce, Basil, Lime, Peanuts, Rice Noodles
A true crowd-pleaser, our pad thai is made with rice noodles, fresh herbs, and crunchy peanuts. Basil and lime also elevate the dish’s flavor and equally provides anti-inflammatory and detoxifying benefits.

Afterward, end the evening on a tropical note with mango sago—a refreshing dessert made with tapioca pearls and sweet mango chunks. Mango is rich in vitamin C, A, and fiber, and tapioca offers a gentle, gluten-free treat for your palate.
