Lobster at Jade Temple
The restaurant offers a classic Cantonese dining experience along with a drinks list that complement Asian flavours.
The food menu features classic dishes, delivered with a little creative licence using sustainable produce. Hero dishes include roast meats such as char siu and whole roast duck; fresh seafood from the tank, wok-tossed and served with a variety of Cantonese sauces; and lemon chicken. The lunch menu includes a selection of dumplings, steamed buns and wontons. Dishes are designed to share, with $75 and $95 banquet menus available.
Nuwa
The drinks list includes cocktails named after mythical characters from Chinese folk lore with Cantonese flavours at their core. Cocktails feature in-house, tailor-made ingredients, syrups and infusions that put a signature Chinese tiki spin on the list. Take the Nuwa, goddess with the tail of a snake was said to have sculpted mankind out of mud with her hands. The laborious nature of the task led her to create sex and marriage so humans could begin ‘creating’ themselves. The cocktail has carrot infused Fino sherry, Cocchi Americano, Lemon, Ginger, Honey, Maggi Bitters
A 300-strong wine list has a strong focus on wine regions that lend themselves to Cantonese food, including Loire Valley whites, Austrian and German whites, red and white Burgundy, and Rhone Valley reds. The list also extends to a solid range of more familiar Australian wine styles. Beers and ciders are also represented as well as a selection of delicate loose-leaf Chinese teas, infusions and tisanes.
Jade Temple is set to open for lunch in the Sydney CBD on Monday, 3 July.
