A good pairing does not need rigid rules. It should refresh the palate, balance intensity and make both the plate and the glass more enjoyable. This official guide offers starting points rather than promises about individual taste.

Pair crisp and spicy opening plates

Refreshing beer can balance the sweet heat of Honey Chilli Lotus Stem or gochujang chicken. Bright, citrus-led cocktails and zero-proof drinks can work beside sushi, dim sum and prawn dishes without overwhelming delicate flavours.

Match richer mains thoughtfully

Pizza, creamy risotto and Massaman curry can support fuller drinks, while Sichuan noodles benefit from something refreshing rather than more heat. Ask the bar team about the current pours and cocktail profile before choosing.

Finish with contrast

Coffee-led or spirit-forward drinks can complement tiramisu and chocolate desserts; lighter choices suit matcha panna cotta or saffron-and-rose flavours. Drink responsibly and treat every pairing as personal.
