10Best Says

A fusion of Asian food from China, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia prepared from authentic recipes but created and presented in a refreshingly contemporary way defines this funky Far East-themed dining spot. This is as close to Southeast Asian flavours as you'll likely to get without actually traveling to the region. The restaurant is imaginatively conceived. The elongated interior runs under an arched brick stone ceiling bristling with hanging light bulbs – modernist-minimalist architecture that highlights Boa-Bao's understated concept. Tables are also set over an esplanade and rear patio for al fresco moments. The menu is carefully designed to reflect the unique and iconic characteristics of oriental cooking, and the results are deliciously authentic. And if you're pressed for time, the kitchen offers a takeaway service.
