Pasta: Birra Ramen
At the peak of fusion cuisine. We've reimagined the traditional spiced Birra flavors into a rich broth, in which we delicately slow-cook chuck beef until it's irresistibly tender. This dish is served with Ramen noodles, alongside a delightful combination of red onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and melted cheddar cheese.
Entrée: Grilled Korean Beef Barbecue
A must-try dish, the succulent flank steak is marinated in a flavorful blend of soy, ginger, chili-garlic paste, and sesame oil. After achieving grilled perfection, it is delicately sliced and served alongside delectable vegetable fried rice. This is definitely not to be missed!
