Executive Chef John McLeay has drawn inspiration from his travels throughout Japan, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, and China, to design this new menu, resulting in dishes like Cured Salmon with pickled radish, seaweed, herbs, dashi mayo, and furikake, as well as Soft Shell Crab Sri Lankan Curry, and Braised Lamb with cumin, sichuan pepper, celery, coriander, and steamed mantou.
