Orientale

Chapter · The First Warmth

SOUPS

شوربات · 4 dishes

Broth is the oldest language of the East.

Simmered long before the first plate arrives, our broths open the voyage the way a harbour opens a sea — quietly, and with intent.

Chapter · Garden & Grove

SALADS

سلطات · 6 dishes

Cool, bright, and awake.

Herbs picked for perfume, citrus for lift, chilli for memory. A clearing in the forest before the fire begins.

Chapter · The Knife

SUSHI

سوشي · 23 dishes

Precision, practised until it looks effortless.

Rice seasoned by hand, fish cut along its grain, wasabi grated to order. Nothing hides here — which is exactly the point.

Chapter · The Bamboo Steamers

DIM SUM

ديم سام · 13 dishes

Small parcels, long conversations.

Cantonese teahouses taught us that generosity is measured in rounds, not portions. Order more than you planned. Everyone does.

Chapter

Bao

· 3 dishes

The Bao of Orientale.

Every dish here carries a passport — the disciplined craft of Japan, the artistry of Cantonese dim sum, the soulful spice of Southeast Asia and the live theatre of the grill. Read slowly. Travel far.

Chapter · The Opening

APPETIZERS

المقبلات والديم سام · 22 dishes

Where the table finds its rhythm.

Crisp, glazed, charred and shared — the plates that make strangers into a table and a table into an evening.

Chapter · Fire

FLAMED GRILLS

مشاوي مشتعلة · 5 dishes

Smoke is a seasoning.

Coal, iron and timing. The grill is our loudest storyteller, and it never tells the same tale twice.

Chapter · The Heart

MAINS

الأطباق الرئيسية · 13 dishes

The dishes we would serve our own family.

Wok breath, slow braises, sauces reduced until they gloss the spoon. This is the centre of the voyage — stay a while.

Chapter · The Grain

RICE

أرز · 8 dishes

In the East, rice is never a side.

It is the floor the whole table stands on — tossed over roaring heat, perfumed with garlic, egg and soy, and carried to you still steaming.

Chapter · The Long Strand

NOODLES

نودلز · 5 dishes

Pulled, tossed, and never cut short.

A symbol of long life across Asia, and a masterclass in restraint: heat, fat, salt and one perfect toss of the wok.

Chapter · One Bowl, Whole Journey

MEAL BOWLS

أطباق الوجبات · 4 dishes

Everything you need, in a single vessel.

The street-side ritual of Asia distilled: grain, protein, sauce and crunch, balanced so no bite repeats the one before.

Chapter · The Sweet Ending

DESSERTS

الحلويات · 9 dishes

The last page is always the softest.

Sugar handled with the same discipline as the savoury kitchen — cold against warm, silk against crunch, and a quiet finish.

Chapter · Cool Down

COLD BEVERAGES

مشروبات باردة · 19 dishes

Ice, citrus and a pause between courses.

Built to cut through spice and smoke, so the next bite tastes like the first.

Chapter · Pressed Fresh

FRESH JUICES

عصائر طازجة · 2 dishes

Fruit, and nothing to hide behind.

Pressed to order — the simplest luxury on the table.

Chapter · The Refresh

WATER & SODA

مياه ومشروبات غازية · 4 dishes

Familiar comforts, chilled to the bone.

Because every voyage needs an easy stretch of water.
