Oh Monk Asian, a vibrant new modern Asian eatery in Tarragindi, is set to delight foodies with its mouth-watering menu that incorporates Thai, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese influences.
Oh Monk, a new modern Asian eatery, is set to open in Tarragindi on May 11th. This 20-seater corner eatery is located on Denham Terrace and features a vibrant atmosphere with terracotta walls, neon lights, and hanging white wicker lanterns.
Chef Batt, the head chef and co-owner, brings an impressive culinary background to Oh Monk. Having honed his skills at prestigious establishments such as Bangkok’s Michelin-starred Le Du, as well as Brisbane’s renowned restaurants Pawpaw and Longtime, guests can expect an explosion of bold and exciting flavours on the menu.
Oh Monk’s menu features a fusion of Thai, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese influences that changes with the seasons. The restaurant’s offerings revolve around pushing the limits of traditional Asian cuisines.
And even guests with dietary restrictions will be treated to an abundance of gluten-free and vegan options on the menu. Some of these noteworthy options include gluten-free karaage chicken, which is prepared with a unique Japanese curry roux made from alternative flour.
Oh Monk uses soy, oyster, and fish sauce from MegaChef which are free from wheat and gluten. Another highlight is the Malaysian-inspired murtabak, which features Fable Food mushroom as a substitute for beef mince.
The small plates menu includes chicken katsu sandos with slaw and sriracha mayo, vegan spring rolls filled with cabbage, vermicelli and pea served with chilli-caramel sauce, nori pepper calamari, popcorn cauliflower, and shoyu-cured salmon on rice-paper crackers. Larger plates include slow-cooked Angus beef-cheek massaman curries, wok-tossed tempeh with seasonal greens (gluten-free and vegan), gluten-free prik king dry curry stir-fry, and lemongrass honey chicken.
The salads at Oh Monk are just as impressive, featuring slow-cooked beef rib and pawpaw salad, Oh Monk’s duck jang mien with sweet-potato noodles, and coconut grilled pork belly salad.
