Menu Concept: Crimson Canvas
Where Form Meets Flavour
Step into a dining experience where every plate is a composition. A visual and sensory masterpiece shaped by the enduring principles of design, craft, and contrast. "Crimson Canvas" is more than a menu. It’s an exhibition of culinary architecture, where steamed folds, crisp textures, and deep umami layers are carefully composed to celebrate the best of Sri Lankan seafood, Cantonese technique, and locally sourced seasonal ingredients. Each dish is built like a design object, precise, intentional, and beautiful. It’s a tribute to balance, materiality, and structure.
Structural Beginnings
Dim Sum Platter
Cantonese Red Rice Roll with Shrimp
Deep-Fried Mushroom Spring Roll
A curated trio that captures the artistry of handcraft. Think of each bite as a building block: soft, crisp, delicate, and robust. As in architectural design, contrast creates tension and harmony. From the tasty and delicious fresh shrimp red rice sausage to earthy mushroom crisp, this is edible design in motion.
Tactile Forms in Motion
Wok-Fried Kong Bao Chicken, Leek, Peanut, Dried Red Chili(G N) Wok-Fried Cabbage with Dried Shrimp(G S)
Crab Meat Fried Rice, Egg White, Scallop(G S)
A shared canvas built with elemental precision. Each dish represents a core design principle: contrast (sweet & sour pork), rhythm (the pop of chili and peanut in Kong Bao chicken), and balance (the umami depth of prawn and black bean with the cleansing lightness of cabbage). The crab fried rice is the binding element, a neutral palette rich in finesse and detail.
Course 4: The Soft Finish
Mango Cream with Sago, Passion Fruit, and Snow Gum(G S N)
Like the final brushstroke on a painting, this dessert is subtle but expressive. Light, tropical notes meet soft textures, an
homage to organic design and understated elegance. Snow gum adds a sculptural, modern element, completing the composition with serenity.
Closing Concept:
Crimson Canvas is a curated sensory experience rooted in the intersection of design philosophy and culinary mastery. Here, the discipline of technique, the purity of local ingredients,
and the aesthetic of thoughtful presentation converge to move.
