People have been calling us fusion for 25 years. We've been correcting it for 25 years.
Fusion became a licence for laziness. Chefs mixing cuisines they've never studied, ingredients they don't understand, techniques borrowed without learning. The result is food that belongs nowhere.

We are not fusion. We elevate Asian cuisine.

That means Turkey to Tokyo. Every dish on our menu is authentic to where it comes from - the flavour, the soul, the way it's meant to be eaten. Our cooking method might cross a border. The taste never does.

If you want to cook across cuisines, learn them first. Eat in the countries. Understand why a dish exists before you decide to change it.

There's a difference between a chef who learned and a chef who guessed.

If you want the full menu, you've got until 3rd June to book via link in bio.

More on the new concept very soon.

I spent six months trying to fix Singapore's tasteless watermelons.
Suppliers. Sugar soaks. Nothing worked. Then I tried rosewater. It is not traditional, but it fixed the consistency and added something the dish never had before.
The original is good. Ours is better.

I spent six months trying to fix Singapore’s tasteless watermelons.

From changing suppliers to a sugar soak, the result was sweetness without flavour.

Then, I tried rosewater. It was not in any Turkish recipe, but it worked. Better still, it added an additional dimension to the dish.

The original is good, but our Watermelon Salad is that much better.

Where I come from, women weren't allowed to cook professionally.

I didn't accept that.

I watched the best chicken being made, and chased a spice mix that made the dish memorable.

Twenty five years later, that dish is still on my menu. My version has fewer spices but still tastes exactly the same.

Some things are worth fighting for.

Samia's Frontier Chicken. Craig Road.

My sister took me to eat the best chicken in Lahore, and I ended up in a kitchen I wasn't supposed to be in, chasing a spice from two villages away.

That was a long time ago, and I’ve simplified it since. Fewer spices. But the taste is the same.

On our menu - Samia's Frontier Chicken.

Before this ends up in your bowl, it travels.

Every ingredient in the Rediscover Asia Noodle Series was chosen for a reason, not for convenience, not because it was what was available, but because it was what the dish actually needed.

Finding the right version of something, one that tastes like the place it belongs to, not a substitute. It takes time, relationships, and a lot of tasting. That's the standard we cook to at Coriander Leaf.

Lunch through April. Reserve your table → link in bio.

“A bowl of Laksa shouldn't cost more than $5."

Really? Alright, let’s talk it. A bowl of laksa isn’t just noodles and coconut milk. It’s about the hours spent peeling shallots, deshelling prawns, and pounding rempah until the oil splits just right. This is labour, with love.

We live in a society where "cheap" is often the priority. But I have to ask: What are we really paying for?

Is it just the ingredients, or is it the hours of unavoidable work on top of those quality ingredients?

Here’s what I think: if you think a bowl of laksa isn’t worth more than $5, you might want to think again.

Week 3 of our Rediscover Asia Noodle Series.

This week we feature Japan - Black Garlic Miso Chicken Ramen.
Black garlic and a slow-simmered shiitake broth that’s buttery and deep without being heavy. The ramen egg takes longer to make than most things on the menu. It’s worth it.

The bowl that makes you cancel your 1pm.

We've hosted corporate lunches & dinners, offsite team meetings, and seminars. Here's what we've learned.

The room matters, a space that feels considered puts people in a different frame of mind from the first minute. The menu needs enough range to work for the whole table. Service has to read the room, formal when it needs to be and relaxed when it doesn't. And the food has to be genuinely good, not just safe.

These are the things we've refined over years of corporate hosting at Coriander Leaf.

If you're planning an event or team lunch, let's talk.

Your next team lunch just got more fun.

The Rediscover Asia Noodle Series gives a group something to actually talk about. It is not just a meal, but a tasting that moves through different parts of Asia. It's the kind of lunch people bring up in the meeting the next day.

Lunch at Craig Road is not a quick meal.

It's a table set properly, a menu built with intention, and an hour that doesn't feel wasted. We've been doing this for years and the people who come back most are the ones who figured that out early.

The Rediscover Asia Noodle Series is on for lunch through April. A new reason to make a proper afternoon of it.

Week 2 of our Rediscover Asia Series - Noodles from India.

Indian Hakka Wok Fried Chow Mein. High heat, Hakka chilli, and noodles that get tossed until every strand picks up that deep, smoky wok flavour. The vegetables stay crisp. The heat builds.

This is the dish that fills the room with a smell that makes the table next to you order the same thing.

Pan-Asian flavours aren’t random. They’re intentional.

Our Charcoal Grilled Baby Lamb Chops tell that story in every bite, smoky heat from harissa, cooling yoghurt, depth from chilli paste, brightness from pickled onions.

It’s geography. Tradition. Technique.
Layered with purpose.

At Coriander Leaf, every ingredient has a reason. Every dish has a history.
