This bright new spot blends a nostalgia for 1970s Bangkok with modern Melbourne energy. Borneo-born culinary director Esca Khoo (ex-Miss Mi) gets playful with tom yum burrata featuring king prawns, heirloom tomatoes and fluffy doughnuts like the ones you’d find on Yaowarat – the main road of Bangkok’s Chinatown – submerged in punchy, fragrant tom yum sauce. There’s also charcoal-grilled snapper in a turmeric-cider butter sauce and swordfish hinava, a Bornean ceviche. Decks spinning vinyl keep the vibes high.
Must-try: Wood-fired bone marrow topped with crab sambal, served with flaky coconut roti.
