Asian Fusions

AN INTERNATIONAL FAVOURITE
Asian dining continues to captivate diners globally, and remains the most prominent food style we see in new restaurant openings. Amongst the all time favourites like Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese, there’s also emerging cuisines from Myanmar, the Philippines and Malaysia to satisfy diner’s who are curious about regional flavours.
The interactive and theatrical aspects of some Southeast Asian cuisines perfectly complement the current trend for interactive dining, such as Chinese hot pots and Korean barbecue
A BALANCE OF INNOVATION & TRADITION
Restaurants around the world serving the cuisines of Southeast Asia are innovating to meet modern diner’s needs, while staying deeply rooted in tradition. This includes more plant-based options using tofu, jackfruit and mushrooms, as well as focusing on the wellness trend with nutrient-rich dishes, served in tranquil spaces.
