Japanese cuisine is all about simplicity, freshness, and precision. Known for its delicate flavours, Japanese food often features a balance of umami, sweet, sour, and salty tastes, creating a harmonious dining experience.

At TemptAsian, we bring you the best of traditional Japanese sushi and teppanyaki, cooked to perfection using only the finest ingredients. Here is a small selection of Japanese highlights you can opt for on our asian fusion menu:

• Sushi & Sashimi: One of the cornerstones of Japanese dining, sushi at TemptAsian is made using the freshest fish, rice, and seasonings. Our nigiri features a delicate mound of rice topped with a slice of fish, while our uramaki offers inside-out rolls that pack in flavors like tuna, salmon, and avocado.
• Teppanyaki: Experience the sizzling excitement of teppanyaki, a cooking style where ingredients like beef, shrimp, and vegetables are grilled on an iron plate right in front of you, locking in all the flavors for a smoky, savory bite.
• Ramen Soup: A Japanese favourite, we serve three classic Ramen options. Choose from Chicken, Spiced Duck, or Beef, where each bowl comes with a miso-based dashi broth and noodles infused with ginger, bamboo shoots, oriental vegetables, a soft-boiled egg, and coriander leaves.

If you’re after a meal that combines rich spices and a mixture of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy, then Thai cuisine is for you. Known for its balance of intense flavours and aromatic ingredients, Thai food is a journey for the taste buds. Here are some classic Thai dishes you can experience at our asian restaurant:

• Phad Thai: A Thai classic, our Pad Thai noodles are stir-fried with prawns, eggs, and vegetables, tossed in a tangy tamarind sauce and topped with roasted peanuts for an added crunch.
• Thai Green Curry: A rich, creamy curry made with tender chicken, vegetables, and a fragrant green curry paste. Infused with coconut milk, it’s the perfect balance of spice and creaminess.
• Kaeng Kung Mangkawn: For a luxurious and flavourful seafood feast with a Thai twist, then we’d highly recommend our Kaeng Kung Mangkawn. Here, a whole lobster is cooked in a spicy red Thai curry, featuring a medley of fish sauce, coconut milk, and tamarind.

Chinese food is renowned for its savory flavours and variety of textures, making it a go-to comfort food for many. The cuisine emphasises the balance between sweet, salty, bitter, and sour tastes, and offers a mix of stir-fries, steamed dishes, and hearty soups.
