Every cuisine has guilty pleasures. The team at Ma Pa Me on Little Stanley Street in South Bank is shining a spotlight on the decadent culinary gems founding within Asian home-style cooking. Here, the kitchen crew is blending finely honed techniques with a liberal dash of nostalgia at Ma Pa Me. Indonesian, Thai, Chinese and Japanese influences are evident across Ma Pa Me’s menu of family-approved recipes, which will include slow-cooked lamb ribs, prawn toast with gochu mayo, lamb shoulder red curry, tender beef rump with house-made XO sauce, charcoal-grilled spatchcock chicken, melt-in-your-mouth char siu pork and a fun take on nasi goreng. A well-stocked cocktail bar serves a range of beverages that will quench thirsts and get parties started. Ma Pa Me is also backed by the team behind beloved dumpling brand Harajuku Gyoza, so you know the execution is on point.
