Taste Asian Fusion

In Mount Maunganui, Taste Asian Fusion brings a thoughtful take on Thai cuisine, favouring layered flavour over sheer chilli fire.

The kitchen leans into balance and aroma, drawing on herbs, coconut, and spice to create dishes that feel generous and satisfying without overwhelming the palate. A relaxed setting, generous plates, and bright, balanced flavours make this a place to linger.

Openings and lighter bites set the tone. Prawn cutlets with sweet chilli and Thai-style curry puffs offer moreish beginnings, while classic broths appear as tom yum gai and tom yum goong.

Mains shine with the kitchen’s signature style, from Kinnaree Chicken - grilled to perfection, marinated in Thai herbs and coconut cream, finished with seasonal vegetables and peanut sauce - to the sea to land platter with roti, made for sharing and full of vibrant, layered flavours.

Comfort comes in the form of the lamb shank, slow-braised in red curry with Thai herbs and served with rice, or the New Zealand lamb rack arriving sizzling, its Asian spice marinade filling the air with aroma and setting the scene for a first, irresistible bite.

Coffee and loose-leaf tea keep things easy, while desserts such as an ice cream sundae or a double chocolate brownie offer a sweet finale.
