FOOD & DRINK
However , while drawing on traditional elements , the dishes I ’ ve created for our guests are elegant and refined , using imaginative taste and texture combinations and modern cooking techniques . Hence , New Asia feels like it captures the essence of our menu .
“ Each dish is paired with its own unique plate or bowl to complement the food . My personal favourites are the elegant wooden tray , which our sarawak black pepper roasted duck is served on , and the pillow-like white bowl , which our Zhai goose “ Rojak ” salad comes in .”
Located in 5-star marina , Ocean Village , owners Xi and Phoebe Zhao spent two years transforming the site into a captivating space , differentiating each area of the restaurant with distinctive design accents while still maintaining a seamless flow throughout .
This pursuit of perfection carries through to their front-of-house and back-of-house teams , bringing in highly experienced individuals to ensure a superior dining experience for their guests .
Xi explained , “ We have poured our heart and soul into creating an environment where our guests can feel calm and relaxed while enjoying top quality food and service . This ambience is experienced whether enjoying a cocktail alongside some smaller dishes in our bar lounge ; sharing a selection of Signature dishes in our main restaurant or celebrating a special occasion with a bespoke menu in our private dining room .”
