A Menu That Surprises and Delights
The Salt-Crusted Barramundi is an experience in itself. Encased in a golden salt crust and slow-grilled to perfection, this whole barramundi is expertly flambéed tableside. As the crust is cracked open, the fish within is exquisitely tender, infused with the delicate smokiness of the grill and the vibrant freshness of the herbs nestled inside. A bold, zesty spicy lime nam jim completes the experience, cutting through the richness with its electrifying tang.
At Manaw, Thai curries are more than just a staple, they are a canvas for creativity, reinterpreted with depth and elegance. Each creation is thoughtfully crafted to honor the deep, aromatic roots of Thai cuisine. The Octopus Yellow Curry is a perfect example. Perfectly grilled octopus rests in a pool of rich, velvety Thai yellow curry, its warmth complemented by a luscious cauliflower purée. A drizzle of Thai chimichurri introduces a vibrant herbaceous lift, creating a dish that is at once comforting and exquisitely complex.
Manaw’s bar is equally adept at crafting libations that intrigue and delight. The Smoked Sup-Pa-Rod reinvents tropical indulgence with a surprising twist, blending smoky grilled pineapple with warm Nusa Cana spiced rum, velvety peach syrup, and a hint of citrus. The result is a cocktail that is bold, unexpected, and effortlessly elegant.
