New Menu At Spice Route
Led by the visionary Chef Mustian Gadang, The Spice Route unveils a menu that reads like a love letter to Asia itself. With each dish meticulously crafted to capture the essence of its origin, diners are treated to a symphony of flavours that dance upon the palate.
From the delicate hand-folded Thai Spring Rolls, bursting with the freshness of lemongrass and kaffir lime, to the velvety embrace of the Gindara Miso Cod, every bite is a revelation. It is evident that Chef Mustian's culinary prowess knows no bounds, as he effortlessly weaves together ingredients from across the continent to create dishes that are both familiar and extraordinary.

From the flickering candlelight to the soft strains of music that fill the air, every element seems to have been carefully curated to evoke a sense of wonder and nostalgia.
But it is not just the food and ambience that sets The Spice Route apart - it is the sense of adventure that permeates every moment spent within its walls.
