Straits Kitchen
Back for the third time for a luxury lunch in the City, some of the Pan-Asian vibe is gone - substituted with classic Western cuisine (boring), but we still picked out our favourites. Look at our scoring (always undercover!).
TravelTravel.uk scorecard - 98/100
Wonderful Pan-Asian food served with old style class
Modern ambiance exuding luxury at the first floor of Pan Pacific hotel in London
Jimmy Butler’s Pork Bakso
hibiscus pickled lotus root, rendang sauce - 4 pieces - perfect for sharing
Chicken Satay Skewers
toasted coconut, sesame - absolutely delicious, tender and authentic recipe
Crispy Duck Salad
compressed watermelon, daikon, ponzu dressing
Different and original, will help you reach those plant points in no time.
The cocktails are amazing and very original
but always remember to ask for ice for your water as they will serve it warm otherwise!
Edamame
salt & pepper - Served as a snack and a huge portion size.
Heritage Beetroots
roasted beetroots, whipped feta, miso and walnut dressing. Very rich and fulfilling
Blackened Aubergine
yellow curry sauce, lemongrass
Amazing curry flavour but rather too expensive for its size
Base Gede Prawns
with roasted corn, spring onions, coconut.
This was a surprise for me, there is 2 prawns only but they are served on a bed of risotto which is really cooked to perfection and would rival any Italian restaurant recipe
Straits Fried Rice
XO sauce, Burford brown egg
I was rather disappointed with this dish to be fair. Rather average.
Banoffee bombe
From the festive dessert menu - such rich incredible flavour.
Straits old fashioned
The barman incredibly tasty take on this ever popular classic cocktail! Had a few of these.
